which TV audio out? headphone mini jack or optical, thru adapter to RCA input on amp?
I am not sure if you are referring to a RCA/coax digital in on your "amp" or an analog in. And are you actually going direct to the amp?If so by all means use the headphone out to a RCA splitter adapter as the TV will serve as the pre-amp.  
Any comments on the Sony XBR-X930D TV and the LG OLEDB6 TV?
I just came off of a Elite Plasma as well. I spent a few years looking for a replacement as nothing in the LCD screen whether LED or Flouressant backlighting compares, so be prepared. I researched the OLED as I have be rolling that technology sinc...

Roger Waters, Radio KAOS. The more I listened, the more I heard, the more I appreciated.  
RMAF 2016
I've gone to the show every year since it started. I was speaking to one of the vendors that will be exhibiting this year, and he was telling me that the show will probably be the smallest it's ever been. It sounds like a lot of the usual vendors ... 
Best interconnects used for around $500 +?
Try the usedcable.com lending library. I did years ago and have settled it was a great help in finding the right cable for my system. 
Loreena McKennith, anyone?
I have enjoyed her music for years. Don't own many selections, but do stream on Deezer. Are you familiar with Clannad, i find them very similar. 
2 prong power cable
PS Audio also makes PC cables with removable ground pins. But if you have a 3 prong outlet you can use any 3 prong cable. 
Did Audio Research ever make an LS 17 or LS 17 SE preamp that is all silver
I have to add, that I recently bought Rods demo REF5se and he was very accomadating in obtaining  black faceplate and making sure everything was as I wanted. Having dealt with Rod over the past decades, he is extremely knowledgable and has a goal ... 
Fremer tours Audio Research.
WOW! That is a pretty awesome look at the inside. As one that just bought a REF5se, it gives me a boost in confidence (not that it was needed) in my choice. In my experience in dealing with the people from AR, I must say they are fist class in peo...

Power Cord 20 amp for my Krell FPB 600 Amp.
I recently purchsed a Audio Research Ref 5se and needed a cord as well. I found a really good deal on a demo 20amp Cardas Clear and am very pleased with it. I also had found a demo Clear Beyond but felt it more than I needed for a pre-amp. But for... 
Mc C47 or Rotel 1590
Blackjack616, my point is that you get what you pay for. Mc doesn't have a higher margin, they cost more because they invest more. Rotel prices the same way, each manufacture has a cost of design and production factored in and they add a profit ma... 
For all you McIntosh fans
Awesome link, I spent some time watching the other videos as well.thanks for sharing 
Drying time after a VPI record cleaner?
I find that mine are damp when done, so I have been buying and using the drying cloths that Record Spin uses and sells. That completes the drying and if any moisture is present, I don't see it but I assume the time it takes to get the record que'd... 
What makes a good Hi Fi rack improve your system.
Vibration feedback and transmission to the chassis. A good rack can reduce these effects and limit it to airborne vibration and feedback. That said, I have wondered why good isolating feet can't get most of this curtailed. And I say most, as I rea...
