McCormack synergy
It's been years since I heard McCormack equipment, but back then I always thought that tara labs complimented the sound. But as said it has been years, check with usedcable.com they have a lending library.

Thanks to all for your responses. I am now just waiting for the "Break in". So far it is somewhat brittle in sound but just from the 25 hours I have of burn in ,I have noticed that edge is softening this morning already. I amreally hoping that the... 
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
I would pick Mcintosh but if looking at Tubes also considerAudio research. 
ss amp synergy w/wilsons
My local wilson dealer uses both Audio Research and Ayre to drive his Sophia and Maxx and in another system Naim to drive Duettes. I think the Wilson speakers will sound great with just about any amp. But I am partial to the sound he gets with the...

RHljazz, I guess I am the anal guy that always tells the dealer that I want the "wedding night" experience. So I have always asked to hand me a sealed box. This is the first dead unit I have ever received. On the exchange unit the dealer did take ...

Update: Replacement is in the other room making music as I type this. Thanks again to Leonard at Audio Research and Rick at Audio Alternative for getting this done is such a positive and timely manner. Good service is fast becoming a rarity in our... 
Need advise on HT Pre / Proc
I would also conside any of the McItosh pre/pros. MX134,135,136,119 or 120. They have a very good 2 channel preamp built in and use good processors for HT. Also takea look at Anthem.

One last note: Audio Research was very patient and understanding this morning when I called them, as my dealers line was busy when I called him. Well my dealer has just informed me that ARC is shipping a replacement 2 day air. My first taste of do... 
Anyone had an Ayre xe version updated to MP yet?
Rufipennis, I actually won't drop the LP playing. But for now I am enjoying re-listening to my favorite CD's. I guess my point was that the C5xe-mp is that good. If you haven't done your CX-7e, I can only recommend get it in line. I think my appoi...

Sono, Thank you but I did try the Bal/Se a number of timesand tried both cables think maybe the Bal/Se switch was dead. I think since I get a faint faint sound at 103(max vol)from cd and a grounding hum/buz from PROC with pre/pro volume at max. It... 
Anyone had an Ayre xe version updated to MP yet?
I agree with Simonw! I just got mine back yesterday and was up late last night with a new romance. I really think they have found the "analog" sound for digital. Not really more information but the information is presented with a clarity and place...

No I think I will get years out of the LS26 either this one or the replacement. I am McIntosh guy but in this price range this seems to be the best buy. I realize thatthings break, if they didn't there would be no warranty at all. I think I have a...

BradI am taking LS26 output 1 to amp in. The pre/pro is connected from 2 channel LR out to processor in on LS26.That is the way I understand the instructions and that make the only logical way. I want the fron 22 channels of the pre/pro to PASS TH...
