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? 
Let's add a Spell Check to Audiogon

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.

Hey Portugal11, another positive in the dis-assemble and re-assemble of a system is that it affords a great opportunity. To clean all connections and re-arrange cables and etc. And Bombaywalla we in the western world also shamefully share a sense ...

Better yet tell your freinds you will meet them for coffee at a local coffee shop 
2-channel listening with a sub-woofer
I am using the Velodyne DD12 with Revel Performa F-32's and I just don't listen any other way now. It took some time to get it dialed in at the proper setting and volume but it is as if they were designed to be together. 
Please, DON'T TOUCH
Simplest solution is a straight-jacket for the kids and if the parents complain, crank up the volume till you can't hear 'em. Truthfully a six year old should understand the word "NO" but in a new envirment anything is possible. Unless your freind... 
power cord too short? what now?
I'd say sell it and buy a longer cord. What Brand/Model is it, maybe someone reading this thread can use it? 
AYRE CX-5 OR RESOLUTION OPUS 21 MODIFIED
All I can add here is that as a owner of the C5xe, I couldn't be happier. Every disc I play reveals something I never noticed before and the tonal presentation is incredible. 
Digitally recorded lps?
I am pretty sure that Dire Straits was a full digital recording if not one of the first. I have always liked that on both the original and Simply Vinyl pressings. Just an example. 
McIntosh vs. Accuphase
I haven't seen any real numbers to make this more than observation through the years, but I believe that one of McIntosh's strongest market presence is in Japan. That would lend me to believe that maybe Accuphase hasn't quite duplicated the McInto... 
Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD
Kalan, I think it ios gorgeous in black. I don't understand why Ayre doen't have pic's anywhere. I luckily live 45 miles from Boulder and happened to call Ayre the day they were finishing a C5xe in black for shipment. They asked if I could be ther... 
static buildup
You may look at running a dedicated chassis ground to your outlet and use the wall plate screw not the plug in. just a thought.
