Help with McIntosh Repair Facility
I think hendrixinc has the right idea.  It can't hurt anything and really quick to take off the top and check out the speaker and input connections inside the amp to insure all is ok.  Best to unplug unit before looking about.  
First tubes in 30 years
@jaytor As others have written, beautiful work.  But even further, and I may be in the minority regarding this, but I totally appreciate a system being in an attractive and inviting room like yours.  
Pass Labs X260.8
As an aside, there is a very well-respected pre/amp manufacturer on this site, and if I understand correctly, he states that there is little difference in sound from one XLR interconnect to another. As contrasted with RCA interconnects. Cannot ve... 
I need help with acoustics and speaker wire
When discussing Blue Jean speaker cables, bear in mind that Blue Jeans makes speaker cables using either Canare 4S11 or Belden 5000 wire. I have used both and found one to be much better in my system than the other. I liked the Canare but am usin... 
RIP oregonpapa
I feel a great sadness at the loss of our friend Frank.  May I give my condolences to his relatives and friends and may he rest in peace.

I have been using a 1.5 meter Signal Cable coax between my 2i and DAC and it sounds fine.  Cost was about $50 a year ago.  Only coax I have used so I can't provide comparisons. 
Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used
If it has not already become apparent, you will be best served by not giving any additional credence to those persons whose only apparent reason for frequenting this forum is to obsessively advertise brands that they own. 
New Raven Audio CeLest Monitor coming this fall.
jerryg123 & arafiqAre you or have you ever been service members?  If not, you don't have a clue what it means to be dishonerable to one. 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?
Yea, I normally think of that level of dislike as resulting from someone being personally offended in some way.  Not so much from an inanimate object. 
Recommendations for cables based on components
If I were in your shoes I wouldn’t think twice about ordering a pair of 25’ foot Canare "star quad" 4S11 speaker cables with your choice of connectors from Blue Jean Cables for a total of $164 plus shipping.They are entirely adequate.And although ... 
Hum coming from Turntable
My hum was solved by using better shielded RCA cables.Easy to diagnose if you have spare RCA's to try out.   
Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak?
@roxy54Just another reminder of why I’m glad that he’s gone. Is there a slight possibility that his humor was over your head?  I agree with oregonpapa who mentions above "Personally, I miss Geoff. He was a laugh-a-minute kind of guy." Geoff Kait -...
