| Levinson 432/436 turn on 'pop' I also want to note that I'm using RCA connectors, found out that the missing XLR shorting pins between pins 1 and 3 might be causing this. Tried to short them with a wire tonight, but still getting the 'pop' at turn on/off.Thanks,Chris | |

| McIntosh MX-132 Firmware Upgrade Thanks Theo. I'll contact McIntosh and see if they would be willing to do it for free. The unit seems to be working fine, the only issue I might have is at the beginning of a song or when I'm FF digital TV, the unit will lose lock for a second or ... | |

| McIntosh MX-132 Auto Detect 2 channel vs. DD/DTS?? I was thinking about it more last night, and the best solution I can come up with is split my digital signal to two inputs on the MX-132. Keep one set at 'Stereo', and the other on 'Cinema', and then switch between inputs when I play music or movi... | |
| McIntosh MX-132 & MC-7205 Single Connection Yeah, that's kinda the same way I'm thinking about it. Got a response from McIntosh this morning, it's a $100 cable, don't think I'm going to order it (unless someone has used it and absolutely loves it).Thanks,Chris | |
| Kef XQ5 Speaker Upgrade? Thanks for the tips. I ended up buying a local pair of Thiel 2.3's with upgraded tweeter/midrange and crossovers. Quite a big improvement over my Kef XQ5's, definitely more low-end power.Thanks,Chris | |
