Problems with Ayre's Company???
I don't believe that Ayre has done anything wrong here from the information provided. Ayre is in the audio business. That means that Ayre has engineered a line of products that meets the designers interpretation of the best audio reproduction that...

Foxtrot, glad your on the other side of this. You seem more relaxed as you should be. We'll be looking on the 26th for the outcome. Meanwhile, God's peace.

Foxtrot, I can only add my belief that we all dislike the uncertainty of tomorrow in our lives. In your situation you are saddled with an abundance of that. Be rested in the thought that 'you will be here tommorow' with or without one of two testi... 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
I really haven't had a chance to get a good listen to the VSA's, what I did hear I liked the dealer at the time had them hooked up to Mc's and I though they paired well. But as a McIntosh owner I agree with Aball in that Mc' do offer a softer more... 
System Cleaning
I also use those Lambs Wool dusters they seem to grab the dust really good between components. Another thing I do is the canned air and spray through the heat vents to stir up the dust and have the vacuum cleaner nozzel attachment sucking the airb... 
Zerostat
Great advice Nsgarch I have been fighting that for years. I never can get that last little amount of dust to come off the vinyl surface. You would think that the maker of the brush would indicate some clues. 
How much to spend for a matching center channel
One more chime on the matching center. I went years with an unmatched center and never had the fluid sound as I do now. The whole system IMO must be voice matched to really enjoy multi channel music or movies. You will not be disappointed. That so... 
Fats Domino missing
Elgordo, shame on you and me as well. Cuz you made me laugh when I shouldn't have. I do hope he is alright. 
Seek cartridge w/ following description :

My Planar 25 has a Poltergeist - Seriously, Help
Now is a good time to do the Incognito re-wire. I did on mine and it helped considerably. 
Most beautifull turntables today....
Anyone seen or heard the Red Point Audio. The TT's look great but waiting for my local dealer to get in the samples. Check out redpoint-audiodesign.com or maybe do a google search the exact web address escapes me.

How long can you go with a phono cable?
I agree with Rives, and would like to add that any cable especially phono are likely victims of RFI and EFI. This will be dependant on your system and enviroment. But I thought it might be a consideration in your decision. 
RCA Splitters
Monster Cable makes a "y" splitter and AuiodQuest makes a Block type with one straight out and the other at a 90 degree. Have you considered a video switch box, Sony, Niles to name afew. That would add more circuitry but eliminate the possibility ...
