Help: why the speaker sound is so low?
You mention when you listen to the TV through the AWAI but what about the Arcam? Is it only when monitoring TV? Also make sure not even one strand of the speaker cable is shorting out. I really don't think the Tannoys need that much of a break in,... 
Which is Better? Modded Denon 5900 or Teac DV-50
First, the DV-5o exceeds the 5900 in all aspects of performance. The 5900 does not upsample, or have the D/A convertor build of the DV-50. The 5900 is a good machine but only exceeds the DV-50 in price not value.Second, A digital out would permit ... 
Cathedral Ceiling the Culprit in New Music Room?
You describe the room as being "dead" and the previous room as "lively". I think with the shelves containing books leaving uneven surfaces to defract sound along with the beams in the ceiling creating sound traps. I think you need more reflective ... 
"Must-have" SACDs Out There
I would add to that list, Peter Gabriel "UP" Roxy Music "Avalon" , Patricia Barber "Blue Cafe" and "Companion", also the new Mike Oldfield "tubular bells" is a great multi mix.

Rega RB-300 tonearm with Incognito Rewire ?????
I added it to my RB600 ,Lauerman Imports, I don't know if they are still doing it as they are no longer the Rega importer. I had a RF hum in the system and the extra gound of the Incognito eliminated it. Also I felt that the bass tightened up a bi... 
Turntable problem
I would say if you could replace the stylus it is a MM cartridge. The muffled on the MC setting confirms it.Try using a standard aux input. The phono stage in you unit sounds like it is not matching up with the cart output. 
classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4

Speakers For McIntosh?

Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD?
I agree with jmcgrogan two ears two speakers. I have a Marantz DV8400 and it is OK with the multichannel stuff. But I feel 5 speakers playing all at once is a fun listening session. When I want to do serious listening it is always stereo. I want t... 
Preamp For McIntosh MC352
I have the MC352 and use it with a MX134 as well as a MC7205. I just read the reveiw in Home Theater on the C42 and it sounds like a great piece. I recommend the C42 so that in the future you can add theater sound if you desire. 
Salamander Video Racks
