DsperI have spent a great deal of time in Indy. Was a Colts season ticket holder until a few years ago. I recall Ovation as a big dealer in the area, but not familiar with the one you mentioned.

Wow! Really appreciate all the responses. It is wonderful to be able to tap into so many knowledgeable resources. Really just getting started so I will be more active when I have something valuable to add. I don't listen really  loud, at least not...

I have the original CS fives.

Thank you jafant. Tastes span AC DC to Allan Taylor, Spyro Gyro to Carole King.  Also don't mind some newer pop and country music as long as it isn't 90% backtracks and focus is on the voice. I enjoy great voices, beautiful piano, or acoustic guit...

Looking for CS5 suggestions. I have a Bryston 8B ST. Bridged it is 250WPC. I listen to lots of different music but room is lower ceiling and long/narrow. Is an upgrade in order or will the Bryston suffice? Also, looking for a decent used DAC/Trans...

I didn't see that used was out of the picture until just now.

I realize many of you have vast experience, but as a fellow newbie I would approach this in a slightly different manner. I dont want to argue cables and their value- but my hope is that some would agree that cables may not be as apparent on a less... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Interesting thread. How is a dealer shilling their products different than one of us waxing on about a piece we have on auction sites? I rarely sell, much to my brides dismay, but have seen posts on here that seem to align with offerings elsewhere.

I am curious, how this thing sounded on music in 2 channel mode?  
Lexicon MC-12
Thank you. It goes through the warm up and I believe it goes into standby. I will take you up on the offer when I have some time to tackle it.

Thank you gillatgh. Truth is, I was a little embarrassed to post that I cannot figure it out so your response is making me feel a little less like an idiot. This is a really complicated piece. It was thrown in on an amp so I have nothing invested ...

Thank you. I also saw that on Ebay. Logitech Harmony is listed as working with the mc-12, but if I dont need the remote, I actually dont mind getting up off my rear and accessing the panel. Just cannot figure out how this thing works. I downloaded...

Thank you viridian. I have both the f-20 and the f-10, as well as a c20 and agree the tuners are great. The Nikko isn't a cap issue- most likely something simple in an open circuit that will not allow it to lock on a station.  I am not going to pu... 
Mitsubishi DA-A10
No progress thus far. It has a bajillion capacitors! They all looked pretty good. Issue is it will not tune on a station. I have been googling but havent found a good solution as of yet.

So finished everthing today and fired it up using the variac. The sound was unbelievable. Even my wife- who isnt that interested, said it sounded great. Could be she was reacting to my ear to ear grin, but it really sounded good. I assume when cap...
