Mcintosh Bulbs?
I have a 352 and a 7205. I have replaced them on the 7205 but not the 352. Let me know how you get the front glass off. I ordered service manuals from McIntosh on both and the 7205 Manual had a better exploded veiw. The 352 looked a little more ch... 
Cream live Royal albert CD / LP
I enjoyed the DVD so much I figuered 'what the h..' and plopped the 90.00 down on the 3 LP set. I can't say that I have ever heard a better live recording. Very well done. 
Denon Service in Pine Brook, NJ
By comparison to McIntosh, Marantz, Ayre I personnaly find that Denon service sucks. I had purchased a 5910 and had a problem with it reading discs. I was told "if it isn't pouring forth white smoke, I wouldn't worry about it!"3500 dollar investme... 
SACD Player--Finally
Any of the Patricia Barber releases are done very well. 
Lexicon RT-20 or McIntosh MVP861?
If what is said about the Lexicon is true I owned a DV9500 and the video is good but the audio was a little "muting" in detail. The MVP861 is a Denon 2900 transport but the similarities stop there. The DAC circuit is much better than the Marantz o... 
The only Denon DVD-3910 question never asked
I tried and really couldn't decern any sonic difference. I did have a 5910 in the system for about 3 weks and felt that the 2 channel out put was better than the multi as a 2 channel. But Denon claims to have a better DAC on the front two than the... 
Audioprism CD Blacklight mat?
2 more cents here. And that is way more than the value of the CD Blacklight is worth. Although it makes a decent coaster. 
Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD
KalanIf you already ownthe CX7 then have grown to appreciate the Ayre sound. I think you would be happier in the long run with the C5xe. I know I am patiently waiting for the C5xe to hit my doorstep. 5 week wait. I do know my local dealer just rec... 
bi-amping with Mc352 and Mc2102
Larry, just as another ingredient here I have the 352 as well and power the Revel F32's and I Bi-Wired and found that to make enough difference to keep me happy. 
Denon 5910 / 3910 vs. Marantz DV 9600
I have to agree with Unsound. I recently sold a DV9500 which is the same as the 9600 less the 1080P output. I wanted to try the Denon DV5910 which I had for a 3-4 weeks but had a recurring "disc read" problem (short version of the story) so I retu... 
Linn ikemi balanced output
I owned the Ikemi and the owners manual makes no distinction between RCA or Balanced as preferential circuitry. I think balanced usually best when making long runs, IMHO. 
universal remote for hdtv home theater
I use a Marantz RC1400 retails for around 150.00 It is a hard button remote. Although not perfect, it does most of what ever a HT system would require. It can be programmed with either pre-set code or learn from existing remotes.Also the function ... 
Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD
I haven't done a comparision in the same system but have listened to both. The Cary thru McIntosh Pre-amp and amp with JM electra speakers. The Ayre through Ayre Pre amp and amp with Linn Akurate Speakers. I had a Linn Ikemi which I just sold and ... 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Second on Bozio, his performance with Zappa on Little Snakes really exhibits his range. Let's not forget Ginger Baker, Nick Mason, Pic Withers, Erik Montzka, to name a few more. 
Velo DD-12 connections for 2ch/HT system
I own the DD12 myself but I am using the MX135 which allows me to use only one connection to the DD12. If I read your question correctly I understand you basically have two systems in which you wish to incorporate the single sub. If you only have ...
