Screws are accessed by turning the unit upside down--small holes covered by tags that read--warranty void if removed. You need a long thin screwdriver. The problem becomes getting the cover back on--you are shooting blind through the holes hoping ... 
Anyone try the simaudio sim Moon lp5. phono stage?
I have been using one for a few months now. Simaudio LE amp and preamp, Basis 1400 table with a Dynavector 20xH cartridge. I have used it both balanced and single ended.I find it offers better performance than the phono stage that was built into M... 
XLO responsiveness
Not isolated. I emailed inquiring about the capacitance of the Ultra 6 cable---no response--of course I could have called, but it does not excuse ignoring emails. 
Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires
I am using the Golden Helix Plus version. I like them better than XLO Ultra6. After using the mapleshade cables for 2 months, I put the XLO cables back in the sytem. More bass, but it seemed to color the midrange. I put the mapleshades back in and... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Some phono preamps have them built in. I am running a Sim Audio LP 5.3. The filter is engaged with a jumper.

Musical Concepts Modifications
Had a 5802 modified by John--was one of the best sounding amps I had ever owned. I moved and sold off all my gear, and am now rebuilding. I am seriously looking at having him mod a 5802 again for me--that or a Pass X-250.

MF CD Pre24 soundstage performance
My experience with this unit is that 1. It is a very good preamp--I found it to be better than the Adcom GFP 750 (even modded), but a bit less than a pass X 2.5.2. The CD player is very revealing. Renders detail very well. Was better than my modde...
