Marantz DV8400 SACD/CD question
Bummer. I don't know why Marantz does some of things they do. I had the 8300,8400, and 9500 and finally tried the Denon and it does let you do more from the faceplate and remote. I think the Marantz actually sounded better on Redbook than the Deno... 
Marantz DV8400 SACD/CD question
It's been a while since I had the DV8400 or DV9500 but I believe you can set the CD layer as a default using the video. But you will have to use the video to access the SACD layer. They don't have a button to switch back and forth. It is disappoin... 
Linn Linto reducing gain
I own one and I haven't looked for a while but I think the wire is marked on the pc board. If not contact a dealer.

Do any of you fear dismantling your setups?
It is a chore, buy I am faced with that task some day when I can dedicate a whole day to it. I need to add a few castors to the cabinet and with a combo HT /2 channel system and heavy McIntosh amps. I just keep finding excuses not to do it. But it...

It all really comes down to that our society has lost it's grip on what a parental responsibility is. It turns out that involves more than buying Nike shoes and driveng them to Soccer practice. It seems as thought the word "no" is slowing being om... 
Sony SCD-1 Player NO DISC DETECT
I had this issue with a Denon DVD5910 and after I had returned it I finnally got a good answer from a Denon service tech. He stated it was s "disc read error" and it would require a re-alignment of the laser. Sounds like you need to send it in. Yo... 
Question about solder
Kind of a split here between RS and the other Solders. I use the Cardas just as a re-assurance factor. After all as Overhand indicated, why scrimp now? 
I lost my remote for my Teac/Esoteric 700 tranport
I was ony aware of teh DV50 and DV50s which use the Pioneer Transport per a tech at Esoteric. He did tell me that the DV60 which will be out in the fall will have a all Esoteric transport. He told me that they can not modify the Pioneer transport ... 
I lost my remote for my Teac/Esoteric 700 tranport
See if you can borrow one and get a cheap learning remote. Otherwise if you can get Esoteric to tell you whose codes they use. A lot of manufactures use the Pioneer transport and use the same remote. I have an Ayre and the remote code is the same ... 
HD Sattelite Reciever and analog preamp
Maril555, that is indeed a very nice pre-amp. I have the MX135 which is built on that chassis as a base plus the processing. I would try for the MSD4 if you can find one they would work together nicely. Check with audioclassics.com,I bought one th... 
HD Sattelite Reciever and analog preamp
So does your Mc have six analog inputs to pass thru? If so you can pick up a used MSD4 or a MAC3 on Audiogon or AudioClassics.com for a good price they both are good units. I am not aware of any other stand alone processors.What Mc piece do you have?

HD Sattelite Reciever and analog preamp
You can get the C46 Pre amp and find a used MSD4 processor from McIntosh. Or you may look into the MX119, MX135 or a used MX134 to do the job. If you want a receiver the MHT200that would keep you in McIntosh.
