Burning smell
I had it fixed earlier this year.The boards had shorted out. I suspect that the Amp was impacted by lightening strike at some point. That repair cost $4000. The problem may be related in some way

really , Will Best Buy come check it ou? II thought that was out of their realm. The worst part for me is getting it up to Phoenix where the nearest McIntosh Tech is. Getting it in and out of the car is brutal, even worse  than the cost Thanks f...

Is it unusual for the capacitors to be blown after 6 years ? it looks like that may be the problem

Dedicated electrical lines
That’s not 140 ft in a straight line. It’s 50 to one corner and then 90 ft to the room. I have a 50 amp line in a conduit underground to a box  where a hot tub used to be. Would it be easier to extend that line 90 ft to my music room  under ground...

still , how does the bass hold up using higher level Kimber Kable, Monacle XL or Bifocal XL? 
Kimber Kable bifocal xl
since my amp has one set of binding posts, that might be difficultI suppose I could use bananas on one cable  and spades on the other and put it on the same binding posts 
Aurender N10
It was the router. Lightning blew out the ethernet part of my router but not the wireless. Also blew out ethernet port on my iMac, but not my Aurender
