MCD301 or ??
I bought a used MCD301 from AC and paid $2200.00 for it.  It looked and plays like brand new and I even got a brand new remote too.  I purchased in October 2017.  I still have it and use it often.   It’s about 80% of my Esoteric SACD player I have... 
Wiring a speaker out of phase with sub connected
Many subs have a phase control on it or in the software app. Does yours?  
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
I have listened to ZU speakers at audio shows and always felt they were a bit bright and in your face.  The Klipsch series IV speakers are their newest and really sound wonderful.   I’m still looking for a used pair of Cornwalls series IV for a de... 
McIntosh Output Autoformer, Sabrina X and Serge Gainsbourg
It is always best to try the various impedance taps on the amp. My speakers are rated at 4 ohms but sound much more dynamic on the 8 ohm taps. I would let the dealer know that it wasn’t set properly.  
Magico A3 to A5
If I could afford them, I would buy the A 5’s in a heartbeat.  They probably  wouldn’t match well with McIntosh though.    
Help! Monolith turntable platter removal
I would do what member “noromance” recommended.  You could layer up the cardboard and cut to fit the plinth.  Someone should design a platter puller, similar to what one would use to remove a steering wheel.    
Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers
@jasonbourne71  or cable risers?   Where is the famous miller carbon turntable he bragged about?  
Klipsch Cornwalls vs. JBL L110 speakers with McIntosh MC2205
I have the JBL L100’s being driven my a 200wpc McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp.  I am planning on also getting a pair of the Cornwall IV in the near future to rotate in and out of the mix.   I have plenty of power and it is never too much.   
Is there a list of full-range speakers (20-20kHz) somewhere on the internet?
According to Stereophile Magazine, the GE Triton Reference is the least expensive full range speaker. They are rated A+ as well.   I have owned my set since 2017 and they are my last speakers.  The speakers are not bright at all, the tweeter is sm... 
SVS Sub Isolation Feet vs Auralex Subdude II
I use the SVS Isolation feet on my SVS PB2000 sub.  It made a big difference as it is on the second floor of my house.  No more vibration and noise through the ceiling.  Recommended!  
Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
You sound like the kind of guy who shouldn’t buy used equipment.  Look to see if the person has good feedback before jumping to any conclusions.  At the end of the day, buying used is always a gamble.  Half of my audio equipment was purchased used... 
Magico A3 to A5
From what I have read, the A 5 speakers are really quite special.  Best of luck with your new toys.   
Audio Art Statement cables
I had a couple of their cables, a balanced interconnect and a power cord.   They were good for the money and the owner, Rob is a great guy to deal with.  I moved on to a full loom of Shunyata cables.

Stereophile and the love of hotel decor
If I were you, I would contact Stereophile and complain.  You will have to be a Karen to really get your point across.  🤣😂
