Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
I take it that you are using the unity gain on the C2300 and is that whe the Buzz occurs? Is the buzz present when using the C2300 as 2 channel only? If it is present, is the rest of the system (everything connected to the Marantz) off? You may tr... 
Charge for TT setup?
VPI is a very popular TT and available in many stores. Find another dealer.You may get a better price and a dealer that appreciates your business. I know that some on line dealers offer to install your cartridge for FREE if you send it to them. An... 
Any opinions on the Mcintosh Mc 402/352
I have owned a 352 and traded it in for a 402. They are both very good amps but the 402 is markedly better than the 352. If you can buy thge 402 I would suggest that you go that direction. The 402 has a few improvements beyond the additional 50 wa... 
Five channel amp setup help - Parasound A51
You may alsi consider taking the top cover off the amp to provide more space for the heat to dissapate. That may help some and also you don't mention what is beneath that particular shelf. Is there a way to cut a hole in the shelf to allow the con... 
Paco De Lucia
Wow, that is tragic news, he was one of the greatest Guitarists of all time. And only 66, that is just so sad to hear. His music will live forever in the hearts of his many fans and his artistry will never be matched. My sympathies to his family. 
Suddenly, Porcupine Tree
I was turned on to them a few years back at my dealers showroom. We were just listening to music and he said, "hey your a Pink Floyd fan, let me play this for you" , the put on The Sky Moves Sideways. I listened about 2 minutes and asked "is this ... 
Denon Anniversary models: Any experience?
I own the A-100 Blu Ray player and now that they have replaced the transport mechanism, I ma very happy with mine. I had issues reading some BR discs and Denon handled this repair under warranty. They do have a 5 year warranty.I mainly wanted it f... 
AMG V12
Lewm, no concerns, I have a tendency to confuse people with my writing skills (or lack there of) It seems it makes sense while typing because I know what I trying to say. I truley appreciate your follow up comments.No regrets, I may have mis state... 
MOG alternative
I tried the 30 day free trial of Rhapsody and I found to be a very good service and would subscribe, but already have too much money going to XM,MOG and Sat TV. I should learn to entertain my self more cheaply! 
AMG V12
No-regrets, first off I don't blame you for hanging on to the Dunlavys, I used to spend a lot of time listening at the dealers showroom. A sad day indeed when they closed their doors. My LP12 vs. the V12, first off I think the delicate nature of t... 
AMG V12
No-regrets, thanks for sharing the photos, are those Dunlaveys?? Very good looking system and table. I haven't gone that far with mine, I do have mine wrapped in a beautiful cherry with some birds-eye that I just love. But using the pre-SE Ekos, C... 
AMG V12
I did see that they were at CES showing the V12, so my guess is they are still selling in the US market. As mentioned, I had never heard that before Lewm's comments and I may have misinterpreted him. Lewm, surprise surprise! A fully decked out LP1... 
AMG V12
My experience is limited to listening at my dealer. My first impression left me wishing I could afford one. Although as an owner of an LP12 and the dealer is an avid LP12 guru, I would confess the fully tricked out LP12 does outperform the V12 in ... 
Best universal remote control?
To answer the Sony RM VL-600 is 24.95 at Best Buy. I just bought one last week and set it up yesterday for my Garage system and it seems to work really well. But for my main system I have been using Marantz's RC1400, but I am not sure they are ava...

If you aren't concerned with BluRay, I used to have a Denon 5910ci that was very good thru the analog outputs. Mine sold for 750 when I sold it. I bought a new Denon A100 BluRay and as good as it is, I really do feel the 5910 was better.
