Mcintosh MC275 VI
The amp does not have bulbs, it is LED lighting and does not need replacing. 
Powering Legacy Audio Speaker System
I would stay away from a receiver.  Are there any multi channel integrated amps you could look at?  Maybe a used Anthem?  
Which amp for Vandersteen 3As?
At one time, years ago I traded in my Vandersteen 2ci Speakers for the 3A Speakers.  I drove it with the McCormack DNA125 amp And it seemed to be a perfect match.  McCormack is much more high end than B&K or Adcom and is much better sounding a... 
Opinion regarding Golden Ear Technology Triton 1R
@riverboat.................if the blue light isn’t on, then the subwoofer amp isn’t working and there will not be any bass from the 3 woofers.   
Tool Fear Inoculum impressions
Today was my third listen and I have to say I truly like it a lot. Listening to it on my main system today with the wife out for a few hours was truly amazing. It really does need to be played a little louder than you normally would to hear and fe... 
VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms
@almandog...…………..I feel for you.  I had the same problem with my VPI Scout and Prime.  I had the Prime for 18 months and probably played 7 or 8 records on it.  Every time I wanted to use the table, I had to play with the arm as it always seemed o... 
Ordering Vinyl From Burning Shed
Thank you.  I cheapened out and went for the cheapest shipping so I wasn't sure what to expect.

I am still on my first listen, got halfway through but it was time for dinner.  I will start from the beginning again tomorrow.  I may need a few listens to really warm up to it.   
Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers
You should be able to get a used Parasound Integrated.  160wpc @8ohms, 240wpc @4ohms.  Seeing as they now have a newer model out, you should be able to pick up a good one for $1500.00 or so.  It also has a crossover built in, in case you want to g... 
Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated
Stereophile did a review of the amp, they loved it.  It retailed for $3500.00 when new and outputs 90wpc into 8 ohms.  The pearl is Ken Ishiwata's 30th Anniversary Amplifier and was a statement piece at that time. 
Getting Crackling Noise From My Speakers
@jennifer90...………….I had a similar problem with crackling and a hum through the speakers.  I had recently added a Nordost Red Dawn (flat cable) IC and thought it was defective.  I was just about to return it when I decided to unplug the wall whart... 
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
While the Bob Latino Monoblocks are nice, they aren’t a McIntosh and will not have the resale value the Mac will have.   
Tuner calibration North West coast.
I would ask this question in the tuner section of Audio Asylum.  That is a very active group and I am sure someone will know someone who has a shop that does excellent work.  I would start there.
