New Project RS2T transport
Two years in they have just identified the problem.  Sounds like a bit of casualty control.  
New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal!
I would switch the right sub to the left including all of the connecting wires and see if the same thing happens.  How is EMI impacting the sub, is it through the subs remote control function, or somehow through one of the wires connecting the spe... 
Sad to hear the good people at Timbernation had a fire (and no insurance).
With the extra money, maybe looking into some coverage would be in order, unless Chris doesn’t believe in that kind of thing. Every business, every residence should carry fire insurance when available.     
Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound”
@stereo5 Actually up here in Vermont there was only one shop that sold McIntosh (before they closed shop).  I was there speaker shopping and I went to listen to a pair of Dynaudios and they were being powered by a MC275 as I remember, and a pre I ... 
Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound”
Many years ago I briefly heard a MC275 with a pair of Dynaudios.  So unfamiliar amp and unfamiliar speakers. No way to tell what was what. Could someone in the know kindly explain what the McIntosh sound is, can't say I have ever heard an explana... 
Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps
@soix I wouldn't think twice about having had your amp rebuilt by SMC.   What could be finer than to have what is essentially a brand new amp with all new, better and modern parts installed by your amps original maker?  I don't actually know why y... 
Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?
OCD Mikey addresses this question further in the video. Take a few minutes and decide what you think.    
Advise on buying electronics out of-the country
@audioman58 Your advice is very important to those who are contemplating purchasing gear that cannot be serviced in the US for those of us living here. To the posters above, while the title of the OP appears to be addressing all non US and Canadi...

Happy New Year to you Tammy!    
Tube Preamp for Pass XA25 under $3,000
There has been a recent OP discussing Cary providing sub par customer service.  Was it a one off? The ad for the DeHavilland Ultraverve 3 Preamp above does not mention remote-control capability for the preamp which is a $700 option.  
Speaker Hum
Two steps which might help diagnose the problem. Disconnect the internet/tv cable from the cable box or/and modem. Try a cheater plug. In my situation both helped so I purchased a Jensen VRD-1FF IsoMax Digital RF Isolator.  Problem was solved.  
Not sure what to think or do...
If you purchased the amp new, why didn't Parasound send you a new JC5 in a sealed box? I think they are a great company, just don't understand the above.  
CD Transport Question
@jerryg123 Now that you have pointed out the 51 posts which I had skipped over I have to agree with you.  
CD Transport Question
A lot of spam?  audio-union has made 162 posts in 3 years, hardly a serial poster like many.  And what he posted was entirely relevant to the OPs question.      
Wiggle kt170 base
If the tube is loose in the socket, one way to address the problem is to re-tension the socked holes as mentioned above. There is an easier way to address the problem I have used several times and was recommended by a distributer: using a very sm...
