2006 McIntosh MA6500 new unwrapped in box..value?
If you cab acquire the serial number, call McIntosh. They would be the warrantor. Yes Audio Classics may give you a good feel for value. Actually I would eMail McIntosh so you have a documented source should they offer warranty. Chuck Hinton is al...

2006 McIntosh MA6500 new unwrapped in box..value?
If this is from a dealer, I think he wants it gone. If I were that dealer and re-coop my investment plus a few hundred (est. 2800-2900) I would have trouble not smiling for a week. If its not a dealer then you won't have a warranty, I think 25-270... 
ARC Ref3 or McIntosh C2300/2500
I have to chime in here as I am a McIntosh guy. I have McIntosh amps and have had a number of McIntosh amps and Pre-amp and Pre-Pros. I currently have a LS26 and would say the REF3 without question. As much as I wanted to by a C2300 when I bought ... 
Linn LK 280 repair needed in Boulder
I agree with Zd542. I live in Colo. And am unaware of any other Linn dealers in the state. Rick at audioalternative has been a Linn dealer for as long as I have known him, at least 25 years. And if you are into vinyl, then you must go, just to see... 
Which Caig?
I have a New Years Day ritual of cleaning my system. I take everything apart, clean each contact with the Signet tool mentioned and also use the Caig brushes. But I either use the Cardas cleaning fluid or the Audioquest ultraconnect Cleaner. Years... 
For Your Amusement, or Dismay...
Interesting article with some points that may be hard to argue with a pro digital person. But at the end I go with what my ears tell me. Sometimes logic vs reality becomes a personal decision, or at least my thoughts?Thanks for sharing. 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
From what I see here from the OP, is that he received a refusal to his offer and didn't counter offer. The negotiations ended there. Any return to the "table of negotiation" would have been either a "if you still want to offer X, I accept?" And a ... 
Not what they used to be.
Agreed, and even though I don't buy many CD's, I hate digi-paks. Give me a good old fashioned jewel box. Back to DVD's I liked the old cases they came in as well. Consistancy in packaging makes storage much easier. I guess we are lucky they haven'... 
Zany measurements and theories
I remember reading years ago, that because of the heat generated and vibration created as a stylus tracks a groove.That you should only play that LP once in a 24 hour period to allow it to "rest" from the heat and vibration. Now that seemed pretty... 
Difference in Revel F52 series speakers
I listened to both when they were new to the product line.I own the F32's as the budget wouldn't stretch to the F52's.But I remember that F52's Performa2 had much better delivery and presentation across the board. But I have also listened to the n... 
Audio Research Ref 3...& Krell Showcase 5 poweramp
In my experience with an LS26 and Anthem Statement D2v, that I benefit from having a separate McIntosh MC402 for 2 channel and use 3 of 5 channels on a McIntosh MC205 amp. This allows me to just leave all HT related components off when listening t... 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
Great fro you Stereo5, I appreciate your excitement. As mentioned in another post, I believe that the full line of Tritons are under-priced for the level of performance they offer. But one word of caution, you state "It will be interesting to com...
