Where can I buy a Quad RCA Jack for Proceed?
Any repair shops in your area that can solder the ring back on? 
Picking up phone chatter
Possible cordless phone. Do you have a phono pre-amp? If you have a cordless phone is it a 2.4 ghz? Had a similar issue years ago and got a 5.8ghz and never thought of it again till now. One other issue do you have a computer that is on dial up, i... 
Plasma issues, is it worth it?
Thanks for the input. I am using a PS Audio Ultimate outlet for the time being. It sounds like the Plasma issues are common or at least in part. I have a 30 day return policy but really have to look at the LCD again. 
Neil Young at Massey Hall
What a great performance, OLD MAN like you've never heard.Very good indeed. 
What song is your fav.Emmylou cut???
I gotta go with "poncho and lefty" she lens so much emotion to her version. Just watched here an Knopfler last night on Soundstage. Great performance. 
Use VPI Record cleaning brush ? How much liquid ?
I have the 16.5 and use the Disc Doc and I also use a nitty Gritty when an album seems to need a second cycle. 
Power cable that will "calm" digital
I personnaly use Cardas Golden Ref on my system and am very pleased with the results. However my local Naim dealer uses Harmonic Technology and his system sound very good and he is on the outskirts of town and I would think his power may not be th... 
Optical or coaxial - which one better for digital
I have always felt that I get a better sound out of my system using a good coax. I am using a Harmonic Tech CD to Burner, and a Audio Quest Cinema on my DVR to Pre because of the 18' length. I use the AQ since my dealer had the bulk cable. I neede...

McIntosh Clarification
Jason, Mcintosh has added the double balanced to the 352 and the 402 as well most of the other stereo/mono amps.They are now calling it "quad-diferential" but is basically lowers the noise floor and reduces the distortion. Though they really don't... 
McIntosh Clarification
As mentioned all current Mono or Stereo McIntosh amps use Autoformers, they don't put them in the multichannel amps for obvious reasons. I own the F32's and drive mine with a MC352 and have more than enough power. You could look at a MC252 but it ... 
Ayre V5xe
I would say that it is a greta amp for the price. I tried one in my home while my McIntosh was servicing my MC352 about a year ago. Unfortunately I was loand a new one and it wasn't broke in. I found it a little edgy for my system. I really do wan... 
Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End
If you want to spend the money try Running Springs. I have a Jaco and replaced a Monster and can only say I think I am done with that end of my system. 
McIntosh MC252 vs. MC352
As Klipschfan and Bob point out the major difference it the quad balancing on the 352 actually Mcintosh called it double balanced at that time but the same circuitry. I have had a 352 for about 3 or 4 years now and love mine.Sometimes I think abou... 
How do you pay? Why?
I have always been satisfied with Money Orders or Cashiers Check depending on amount of transaction. Some have accepted personnal checks and I didn't mind waiting for it to clear. I have never been burned her on AudioGon, most everyone I talk with...
