Single Input, Multi Output, RCA Switchbox??

Paradigm Tweeter dome replacement?
You can do either but the replacement dome is cheaper, so that's what Paradigm will send you under warrantee. The best way to replace the dome is to remove the entire tweeter so that you can work with it placed horizontally on the work surface. Re... 
Classical SACD's to die for
First, all the MTT/Mahlers have CD, stereo SACD and mch SACD tracks. There was a glitch on the original issue of the 6th but those were replaced.Second, I second the nomination of the Fischer Mahler 2nd.Kal 
Advise on Audyssey Sound Equalizer installation?
Well, you certainly can use that sub in a 'standard' configuration and the advice you got from Sumiko is, undoubtedly, influenced by their REL connection. (They bought the company.)If you make sure that the BM is set lower than 65Hz (highest setti... 
Advise on Audyssey Sound Equalizer installation?

I think that 802D bass observation is dependant on the room and positioning and I have experienced that it can be corrected. The big advantage of the 800D over the N800Sig is in the new technology for the tweeter and woofers as well as the attenda...

sony tts 3000a tonearm setup question
You need to tell us what arm this is. The top Sony arms of that era were the PUA-237 and PUA-286 and they are fairly complex to set up. You can google those names and see if that's what you have. If so, I have the user's manual for them.Kal
