The Nitty Gritty Record Cleaner??
I never had the NG that did both sides. Mine was the base one side at a time model. I traded up to the VPI 16.5 and am much happier with it. I reqally can't say if it gets the record any cleaner but it is much easier to use. I do like the fact tha... 
Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP?
All I can add is I have a P25 with a Lyra Lydian B and a number of tweeks and I beleive the sound is more natural at the very least than my Linn Ikemi. I enjoy them both but I am stuck on the old "we hear in analog". Since digital is usually analo...

I thought the 1201 s had LED lighting. If not McIntosh uses the same bulb in everything I have ever owned. And of couse the meter bulbs will need to be soldered. 
Yet another wacko 'Help Me Decide' thread...
Overall enjoyment is the playback source. Bet on the cartridge! 
Where to but spades on line?
AlbertPorter, you would think Hoyle would be more accomadating 
Want a Linn Ikemi is the change made in 2001 good?
I own a Ikemi and the changes they made I cannot tell the difference. The dealer demo was a pre-change and mine is a post change. He states he has never had any issues with the pre-change in tracking. As far as sound quaility that circuitry never ... 
Universal Players: Video Quality?
As an owner of the Marantz DV9500 I can say it is the best picture they have produced in that series. I owned the 8300 and 8400 and the 9500 is much better but I would be inclined to say the Denon 5910 is better still. I expect to see a Marantz DV... 
Marantz Player Question
If you can wait the 9600 is about to hit the shelves. I own a 9500 and the SACD is good I can't say how it compares to the 12S1 as I have never heard it. I owned the 8300 and 8400 and each player got better. So I am assuming that the technology ha... 
Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps
I am using Harmonic Tec ProII on my MC253 and MX135 and using a PS Audio Interlude(I beleeve that's the name) in My MC7205. I went with the PS Audio because of the removable ground pin. For some reason I get a ground hum on the 7205 and that cured... 
When do you know when you're done?
You never really know when you're done. Your freinds will realize it when they read about you in the obituaries. 
Is upgrade from Revel M20 to Revel F30 worth it?
I was really considering the F30 when I heard that the F32 was about to hit the showrooms so I waited. Luckely the dealer had the F30's in stock and I was able to A-B the two models and in a matter if a few minutes it was all too clear that the F3...

One of the greatest songwriters of our time. And then he adds his talent as a performer. What a living legend!

Revel Tweet Break-in after repairs
I really don't undersatnd why Revel wants the speaker back. Do they suspect the crossover at all? As Raquel mentioned the dealer should at least be able to do this in his shjop if not in your home. Also I would check into replaceing both tweeters ... 
What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts?
I believe Cytocycle describes it best. DTS is designed for full range at four corners and DD is designed for rears to be small. di or bi-pole. My experience is DTS sets a better central focus of sound.
