McIntosh Tube amps or Solid State?? Advices needed!!
Don’t have the MC402, but do have the MC302 which is just a little less power. I love it and use it in my big system. I have an MC275 I rotate in on my secondary system which primarily uses a MA6600 integrated. When I want to switch out the flavor... 
Tool Fear Inoculum impressions
I think I am on my sixth listen as I played it on the big system late this morning.  It is definitely a keeper, and I find it to be recorded quitter well.  I have the 24/96 digital version from HD Tracks.  It doesn't seem  compressed to me.  Even ...

Mcintosh xr 100 speakers
Although the aesthetics of the McIntosh speakers are not to my taste,  they compare well with other speakers in their price range.  The McIntosh of today is not your fathers McIntosh.  As good as McIntosh sounded in the 60 and 70's, they are leaps... 
4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8
I looked at that Buchardt site and those S400 speakers look amazing. If I were doing this, I would try out the speakers and stands, you really have nothing to lose. I bet it will sound really right with 30wpc of pure Class A power. If you live in ...

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.

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.
