McIntosh preamp C504 output noise& 8207;
Could be a power supply taking a digger. Also before you send it off to a repair shop try plugging it in to a differnt outlet. Also try reversing the polarity on the plug since it doesn't have a 3 prong plug. And one other thing you may try is run... 
pre-Cirkus LP12 or ClearAudio Performance CMB
I'd get the LP12. you mention wanting to keep it. The LP12 allows you many upgrades and as mentioned by headsnappin, once it is set up "correctly" it is good for years of service. I have had my LP12 for a couple of years now and after a spell of t... 
where to find blank disks for denon dcr-w1500
I still see tham at best Buy,and you can buy them online as well. I have that same Denon and use the TDK or Sony and get great results. If you want higher quality Music Direct sells a MFSL blank but it is not cheap. 
What is tube rolling?
My understanding is that you try different tubes in one component. Such a Sovtek, Western Electric, etc. seeking the best sound or the individual sound qualities that each tube brings. Or maybe rock sounds better with one and classical with anothe... 
Need cartridge recommendations for Rega P25
Try a Lyra Dorian I had a Lyra Lydian on my P25 and loved it. 
Naim CD5xs vs Bryston BCD1
I have heard both at the same dealer and the Naim is , in my opinion, hands down better in every dimension. But, in my opinion the Naim is a company that keeps itself too propietory(sp) for me to invest in. You need thier power supplys and cables ... 
best match for Macintosh MC352
Blindjim, when you say "dedicated processors" are you referring to a processor that is not a pre-amp? I have not seen anyone since Rotel, and Mcintosh had some back when the majority pre/pros were Pro Logic. I have been looking for a dedicated pro... 
Something brewing with Led Zeppelin recordings?
Hmmm. If they re-do those like they did the Beatles, I'm in.

best match for Macintosh MC352
As an owner of the MX135 and previously MX134,MX132,MX130and a C39 I can attest that each generation sounds better. You can buy the MX136s relativly cheap now that the MX150 is about to hit the shelf.The MX120 is basically the same as the MX135 bu... 
best match for Macintosh MC352
Mofi, actually I have read in two publications where Apple (you're right about the mfg) aquired the name from McIntosh laboratories. I see that this is in direct conflict with the link you provided. So it is now a quandry, I see that I face many s... 
Linn lp 12 upgrade or new TT ? please help.
I have had an LP12 for a few years now and looked at replacing it about 9 months ago. I could not find a dealer in my area (colorado) that had any TT's to demonstrate. I found a few but all were a serious step backward. If you like the Lp12 there ...

The MCIntosh 352 is a great amp I had one for years. Butnot sure where it fits into your plans for HT and 2 channel. I am using an MX135 and a MC402 along with a MC205 amp. Irun the 2 channel through a ARC LS26 using Unity gain. This works great a... 
Jim Thiel has passed.
Never owned any of the Thiel speakers but he had a innovative mind. He will be missed in the Audio world.May be find everlasting peace. 
Cartridge/tonearm combo for upgraded Linn L12
If you can find a good used EKOS there should be some available with the EKOS SE out now. And I use a Troika which is no longer made and am saving for a Lyra Helikon or maybe if I can hold out a Skala. My Linn dealer uses the Skala on a couple of ...
