Turn the tape monitor switch off. It is separate from the input selector.  It is one of the large controls, same size as volume  
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
Living room is only 16 by 18.   Have a Sony 55 inch OLED TV kitty corner and perfect for the size room, as my audio system already takes up much of the room.   
What are good options for re-wiring an SME 3009 tone arm?
If it were me, I would send the arm out to a competent tech who knows how to rewire this arm.   
Issue with Krell KSA-250
You may not be able to send it to Krell.  There is a thread where a customer sent his amp back for repair and 9 months later, he still hasn’t gotten it back.  The owner of Krell passed away and the company has been closed to grieve.  The person sa... 
Reliability - what’s your experience been?
I had a Classe’ CAP150 which went back and forth to Quebec and the US 3 times for cold solder joints.  I sold it, as is.  The other was Yaquin hybrid integrated amp which caught fire a couple of hours after first turning it on for the very first t... 
Thoughts/Opinions on Technics SL-G700M2 CD/SACD Player
@jayctoy,  you got less than 3 1/2 years out of the Marantz SA10?  My Esoteric UX3 which I purchased as an “exhibition stock” in 2012 and is used at least 250 days a year for over 12 years has no such problems.  They both cost around the same, in ... 
What's going on at Krell
@audition__audio   well, we all have our own opinions.  The resale value of McIntosh is one of the best in the business.  Service is always available as well.  You don’t have to worry about someone dying and not getting your equipment back.   
What's the best bang for my bucks on RP6 upgrade?
I would fire the cleaning person, unless it’s your wife or girlfriend.  Where is your stylus guard?  You should keep it on when turntable is not in use as It will prevent any snags to the stylus from cleaning cloth or Swiffer.   
What's going on at Krell
So they have been closed for. 4+ months in mourning?  Sounds to me like they will not reopen. I mean it’s 4 months, not four weeks or four days.    
What's going on at Krell
Sorry to say but that is what happens with niche companies when an owner or investor dies. With McIntosh you will never have that problem.  You are probably in for a long wait for your mono amps.  Good luck  
Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages
@viridian then leave, simple as that  
Sub suggestions please
I own the JBL Classic speakers and the bass is not that great,, specs put the bass response at 40hz.  I am using a SVS 2000 sub and it works wonders.  JBL makes subwoofers to compliment the L100 speakers starting at $600.00.  They did not make the... 
Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2
@sls883 ,  I made my purchases in Warwick, RI.  THE Adcom sounded much better with my Vandersteen 2CE speakers at the time, then I moved on to Classe’ amp and preamp.     
Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2
At one time, late 80's, I had a Yamaha integrated and tuner.  I found the integrated to be very thin sounding, the music didn't seem to have a lot of body to it.  I kept it for 6 months or so and sold them.  I ended up getting Adcom as the salesma...
