Which RCA IC's to use with McCormack Amps?
Magna VI 
Symphonic Line RG 14 Edition Integrated Amp
Sorry to jump in here... I have not heard this piece but SEVERAL other Symphonic line pieces Kraft 400, Kraft 250, RG1, RG4, RG8, CD reference, Die Erl.... (whatever that preamp is!) and the gear is great. I have no doubt you would be impressed de... 
First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions?
Find a Townshend Rock III or Reference and end your search. I hear they may be producing tables again soon if you cannot find used. The trough is a little fussy but no need for a kilobuck arm with that kind of damping. In fact, a highly damped exp... 
Levinson, Pass labs or Parasound?
There is an auction for a Symphonic line RG-1 at $800 with no reserve. I have owned 2 of these. They are OUTSTANDING amplifiers. Period. Smooth, quick, and exceptional control over drivers. IMHO leaps and bounds over the 3 you mention. 100W class ... 
How much air into Townshend 3-D Seismic Sink
One more thing... if you have the kind with a wall wart (powered) you pump slowly until "exactly when the light stops flashing". Periodically all sinks will need inflation just like your car tires. 
How much air into Townshend 3-D Seismic Sink
I have several sinks. When you speak about the air coming out...what comes to mind is that the rubber "seal" inside the sink's valve is either damaged or "out of place somehow. This has happened to me before. I think I just kept playing with airin...

Wire your speakers from the amp and add another set of speaker wire from amp outputs to the speaker level inputs on the sub. 2 pairs of speaker wire.Jeff

Bi-amp Vandy 2's

What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
BTW my bottle states: "Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Active ingredient 70% alcohol by volume. Also contains water""Does not contain, nor is intended as a substitute for grain or ethyl alcohol"(ethanol?) >>Audiofeil<< Look at the label to see w... 
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
Wouldn't a higher concentration of alcohol just mean it would evaporate quicker for our purposes? I did not give the home formula to be assaulted. I did not remember that rubbing alcohol had acetone or ethanol...I just knew not to use it! Whatever... 
Speaker Opinions
Are you thinking of changing speakers? Try using a vandersteen sub with your speakers. You will not be dissappointed.Jeff 
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
I use 70%.. If I could find 90% or 99% I would probably use it. Remember that RUBBING contains acetone I believe which is a bad thing. Let me know what you think. The Photo-flo bottle is pretty large for the amount used.Let me know what you think.... 
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
For Tvad's question: 1 pint isopropyl alcohol (NOT RUBBING!!!!), 1 gallon distilled water (pour out the pint), 10 drops Kodak photo flo (Whatever size dropper you can find...it just makes it wetter) used for 15 years with my Nitty Gritty.Jeff
