Programming new remote for B&K AVR507
The Cables for less adapter worked great once I downloaded the drivers from the Cables for Less website. The drivers that came with the device are old and the one that W7 loaded did not seem to work. Up and running on W7 now for $19, running on 2 ...

Thanks for the information. I have checked the comm port setting. That is a common problem. I think my problem is that there is no W7 driver for mine and the XP driver does not work correctly on W7. I will look at the cables for less one. Thanks.

Great news. What usb to serial did you get. My Belkin does not work on W7.

Elboroth2 - The references that I have seen must refer to the internal power regulation. I agree there is no external power. As I said, I have no real details, just some one line references that I have seen.

I use an old Belkin one. Not all of them work correctly, so you have to be a little careful. Also, I run mine on XP - not sure if the software runs on W7 or not. The MX-900 uses a USB connection.

I have seen claims that the power supply has been upgraded, but I have not details. 
Where to get good hifi deals
Dsholl1 - you are referring to MSS - correct? They used to be known as The Audio Pimp. Enough said.

I am not sure if the software you have is the full URC software or not. It is is, you can probably create what you need. If you have access to the database you can get the commands from it. demo.mrf is just a blank file that needs to be programmed...

If you have the URC software to program the remote, look at the database (Program -IR Database). It should have the AV507 in the database. 
Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact?
Dminches - mine has been on almost continuously for 2 years using stock tubes. I have not seen reports of short tube life. 
Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it?
If you use dBpoweramp it will decode the HDCD to 20 bits, which gives you much of the advantage of HDCDs. You do not get the HDCD filters, but the bit expansion helps a lot.I still have my Classe player, but it is now in my bedroom system and I ha... 
Which Would You Choose?
What are you using for a source for 2 channel? If digital, you need to compare the DACs in the 2 receivers. If analog, there should be less of a difference in the two. But, an external power amp will probably make more difference than the DACs, de... 
Another J Rivers Question
You can do a backup within J River (File - Library - Back Up Library). That will create a zip file that you can move to the new computer. Then do a library restore and you library will be moved. You have to have the same path name to your files on...
