is there any multi-chnnel power amps that can...
No reason to be bothered by this if you have adequate power in MCH and in stereo. OTOH, all you are getting from the HK is the result of the power supply not being shared by 5 channels, but only 2, when used in stereo. In fact, almost any MCH powe... 
Is there such a beast?
The Sony has the iLink but no balanced outputs. 
Difference in MC vs MM gain stages just db's????
Gain and input impedance. The latter does affect frequency balance. 
Whats the Story w/ Headphones?
How familiar are you with headphone listening? If you are not, I suggest you buy something for under $100 and see if you can justify spending more. It's sorta like the rest of high end: you probably didn't invest until you got your feet wet.I, for... 
Goldmund Pabst motor
Please try Papst by all means but I doubt you'll find any more success than I have over the years. They seem to be unable to associate any motor with an application without a motor number and/or part number. Do you have those? 
Revel Studio vs. JM Lab Micro BE
Some comments about the Adcom 5805 paired with the Revel Studios appear in my review of the Adcom in the March 2004 Stereophile. 
Revel Studio vs. JM Lab Micro BE
I find it hard to understand your motivation. (The dealer's motivation is a given.) What is it about the system performance that you find lacking? What would you hope to gain from the smaller JMLabs?My immediate thought is that you might want more... 
Oversampling vs upsampling
Close. What happens when you sum the outputs of two devices is that the signals they have in common (the real data or music) is summed (x2) while the random signals (noise) is cancelled. This is because the real signals occur at the same time in t... 
Digital Inputs on McCormack Preamps?
BECAUSE THEY ARE ANALOG PREAMPS!Sorry for shouting but they would your expect any digital connections on purely analog devices? 
Sim Audio Moon P-5 too dry
While a cable swap may help, let me suggest that you live with the P-5 a bit. If your personal reference has been the Yamaha, you may need to adapt and learn how the P-5 sounds over time. 
Test multi-channel SACD disc
Yes but I have always preferred a separate disc for convenience as well as the knowledge that the signals are treated the same as the music. 
Test multi-channel SACD disc
Get the Sony/DMP SACD sampler/test disc (or the Telarc 1812 which also has, I believe, test signals). 
McCormack DNA1 Rev A or Bel Canto Evo 2
I have both amps and cannot understand why you are considering a change. 
No on-screen display for Adcom processor
Many players will output the OSD only on composite output. So, even though you are using component for actual viewing, you may need to connect the composite to the Adcom, as well. Check the player's manual for that. 
Revel and Tubes ???
I run my Studios with, among others, SF Power3s. Just dandy.
