There are many McIntosh haters in this world.  It is usually because they can't afford them so they bash them.   I have 6 Mac pieces that perform flawlessly and all have been made within the last 10 years.  I have been to the factory twice for a t... 
Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G
Do you think the alloy mat will take away the benefit of having the brass in the SL1200 G platter?

worth adding blue ray?
@pfrank12...……………………………….Which Esoteric player do you own? 
VPI Turntable repair

Electrolytics Question AGAIN
Since you have brought this up a few times already, I think you should have the caps replaced mainly for the peace of mind you will have.

HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
I see a lot of the same items listed, relisted, relisted again, etc.  I remember seeing this one ad for a pair of school bus yellow Wilson speakers.  I have seen the ad for 2 years and the picture is of them in the guys garage next to his Porsche....
