Wiring two systems to one set of speakers...crazy?
I do keep a full compliment of tubes on hand, and my motive here is not so much saving money as it is saving wear on the component.I had wondered about the "in use" amp back feeding into the idle amp and damage that might cause damage. I wasn't su... 
Insuring your Audio Room?
tls49 is right. Make a list with serial numbers and msrp values. Take photos and check with your agent to make sure you have "replacement cost" coverage.  
cartridge screws
If you have an ACE near you, they usually have a great assortment and also a lot of firearm stores will have very small screws for scope rails and rings. You should take the screws you have with you as these normally don't use nuts. So you may hav... 
Who makes cables for McIntosh?
In my many years and many McComponents I have found that Cardas is most pleasing to my ears. I started with Monster years ago, moved on to Tara Labs lower end then thru many other trials and utilization of The Cable Co lending library landed on Ca... 
Thinking about buying an Lp12, Lingo table.
The LP12 when properly setup is a very musical table. The issue is having it adjusted correctly. The down side of the LP12 is that is must be setup correctly to sound good. Also they are very finicky and coming off a Rega, you will find that the L... 
The Music Room
MoFi, you have the business address, they have 2 locations. But the Teller is where they send you. Actually the address you gave is on the website, the other isn't, they might it want people dropping in as they have no showroom per say. 
Dr. Feickert Protractor
The current edition offers 3 different scales to choose from. Lofgren, Baerwald and Stevenson the latter is really good for Rega tables. The beauty of the tool is it's ability to triangulate the three points of spindle, arm pivot and stylus overha... 
Audio desk pro vs. Clear audio double matrix
I sold my 16.5 and bought the Audio Desk Pro and have been very pleased. I looked at the KL but opted Audio Desk based on a few reviews. However reviews have continued to reflect that either is a good choice. Also I like the dealer and there was n...

What does a bad tweeter sound like?
If it is louder than normal, check your crossover. My experience has been either a crackling distortion or at certain notes you get a break up in the sound. 
Aerial 7T vs Dali Epicon 6
I am looking as well and haven’t had much time to audition many. But the 7T’s are at the top on my list right now, the bass is deep and controlled, the mids are very spot on in timbre and placed perfectly, but the highs are clear, brilliant but no... 
What was the most enjoyable system that you ever put together?
Still working on it :) 
Mcintosh MC 135 and Anthem A5
I owned and Mx135 and I can tell you it is a very fine piece of equipment. I had a MX134 prior which was connected to a MC7205, until last couple months I added an Mc352 and used only 3 channels of the 7205. I then traded the 7205 in on a MC205 wh... 
Stay away from the nad
NotAlwaysDefectiveThanks for sharing your experience. I had considered the M17, but the old tongue in cheek poke at NAD, just always stuck in the back of my mind. I realize that your experience may be a "rare" case, but reading it steers me away e... 
More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it?
I have used it for years with no sonic issues. It is a 12v circuit and has not given me or others I know any diminished performance. Logic tells me, it triggers the unit on and off, again via a separate power supply and is a micro second of employ...
