Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
  soix Replacing with a new amp is simply unrealistic. Oh no, not at all. Where do you think all the ’B-stock’ product comes from? But here’s the "secret": The only users who get the replacement product are those who ask.  
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
This is when you get your dealer involved. He's your advocate with Yamaha, and should convince them to either replace or promptly repair the component. You are his customer and he has every incentive to take care of you.

It's really unfortunate that we can't just talk about audio and music here without the insults and politics.  
Prospectives on Chi-Fi
jeffstrick I am really sorry I started this thread/chain. Can no one stay on topic without wading into the political sewer and political biases? You put "Chi_fi" in the thread title, then act indignant that it's turned political? Don't be si... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
mijostyn You could say the same for the LP12, but it’s problem is that it is based on a bad design and nothing anyone else can say is going to change that ... Frankly, nothing Linn makes is of interest to me. You sure seem to be interested in ... 
ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC.
yesiam_a_pirate Your point of contact will be Greg Christensen. He's an affable young fellow.  Greg said that since the scamdemic ... That's cute how you slip in a silly political gag, and then blame it on a guy from Audio Research. Clever!  
ARC D400 vs D400 MkII

Simaudio Moon integrated replacement remote
You can try to find something like a Logitech Harmony 650 (now discontinued, but you might find new stock somewhere) or get a Sofa Baton.

What to do?
kenrus I just bought a significantly (I hope!) better Ethernet cable ... I’m starting to wonder if I should, instead, run it from the Brysto to the DAC? The Bryston BDP doesn't offer an ethernet output, does it?  
McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover
@erik_squires what you're essentially claiming is that any speaker that can be biwired can also be biamplified - that the two terms are interchangeable. That's simply mistaken and, as I noted, easily tested with a DMM or VOM.  
McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover
erik_squires Almost all speakers I’ve seen with 2 sets of inputs and external jumpers separate the crossovers internally.  Otherwise, why have jumpers?? Agreed, biwiring doesn't make much sense and neither do the jumpers. When you biwire, ...
