Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store
Isn't UPS and acronym for Unusually Poor Service? I have had very good luck with FedEx and they set you up as an account at no charge and supply you with lables,envelopes,boxes etc at no charge. Their tracking system is superior and when you call ...

Whats the best used tuner for under 1000
Spend less than that about 650 and get a Marantz St17very good tuner dual antenna input, digital , flywheel tuning nice small package. I ahd one and traded it in on a McIntosh M85 and it was not worth the extra money. 
Mcintosh mc 352 or 602 overkill?
I think the 352 brings more power to the table than the 100's need but I love mine. The 352 is a great amp. I see them here on AudioGon all the time for 3000 plus/minus. That is a terrific buy since new @4500. I also have a 7205 that I am only usi... 
Sound loss/ windows?
I wouldn't worry as stated in previous answers above. I recommend the pleated shades in lieu of the drapes for acoustic absorbsion. I have them and they work great. 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
My experience with htese has been only favorable. I have 4 placed under my turntable and 4 under my CDp. I use them with the flat side up and use the teflon pucks that come with them between the rounded end and the surface beneath.I have never tri... 
ikemi or cd23?
I have to admit that my Ikemi is the best I ahve heard and I think even when Linn produces a SACD player I will probably keep it unless the new player sounds as good on redbook. The one thI like is the ability to dis-engage the digital output from... 
Why do McIntosh SS amps cut out?
I would say it's in the POWER GUARD circuitry and it should pay a visit to Binghamton NY and see it's mother.Chances are it's older design is just worn out. Also you maybe driving some hard to drive speakers i.e. varing resistance or possibly cros...

Naim recommendations
I have looked at the Naim gear and do own a phono stage and hi cap combo which I love. their amps are impeccably clean and true to detail. I have a local dealer that is a very knowledgable and also very close freinds with the regional Naim rep. wh... 
Marantz 8300 SACD/DVD AUDIO
I looked at the Elite 47ai, Intregra 8.3 and bought the DV8300. I found out from a marantz rep that the video section is pioneer and after listening to all three (at differnt dealers) with my cables, grado headphone amp and headphones the marantz ... 
McIntosh and Autoformers. . .?
My experience is that I had and still use a MC7205 multi channel amp and I purchased a MC352 about a year ago. The 7205 always sounded good and I was satisfied with all but the power. So I stepped up to the 352 for the front end and WOW!!! What a ... 
Turntable speed problems...
Sounds to me like motor failure, I would guess that soon you will turn it on get nothing. The fact that you moved it or re-connected it is just coincendental. Start looking for a motor, I had Pioneer PL540 starting to do that and that was the perf... 
Marketed to death
I have to say the I have been completely satisfied with FedEx and have never had a problem. UPS on the other hand has proven to be an acronym for Unusually Poor Service.I am sad to hear you have had a problem with FedEx but I refuse to use UPS and... 
Best speaker in the $4-6k range.
I would say the best route for you to go is to try a new cable. What are you using now? Try to find a dealer that will let you do some in home demos. Also check out the usedcable.com lending library. I am not a big Krell fan I always felt they wer...
