CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts
Admranger, I agree, I have a Pioneer Elite, that I suspect will be failing soon, I had hoped that I would see the OLED readily available by now. It looks like they will be hitting the showrooms this year, Sony and Panasonic are doing a joint OLED ... 
McIntosh MX 132 issue
Hito-Glad you got it back. That hard reset was lost in my mind for years. I never would have remembered that, I guess it is failing aging mind that I am left with for resource.Thanks for letting us know you have it working again. 
McIntosh MX 132 issue
Also I would add to Cnote's response, disconnect all your connectors and repeat my suggestion of a de-capacitence.If not give McIntosh a call. One thing that might help is give us an explaination of just what your son did. Did involve water/fluids... 
McIntosh on CBS News
Seasoned, thank you for sharing. As a long time Mc lover I truly enjoyed it. I was very surprised at Chuck Hinton, I have spoken with him many times on the phone and had a mental picture that was way off base. I like the response to the question '... 
McIntosh MX 132 issue
I agree, unplug the unit and while it unplugged, individually press all the buttons on the face plate.That will drain any stored capacitence and release any memory lock. Then plug it back in. I have owned a number of McIntosh pre-pros including th...

I would agree with Elizabeth that someone tried to fix a marking and ruined the topcoat in the process. One solution is to remove everything from the plinth so that you are left with just the wood to deal with. Take 0000 steel wool and remove the ...

Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel
I have the F32,C32 & M22 in my system and am using a Velodyne DD12. I have been very happy with the integration with the Revels. I originally had a Paradigm Servo 15, and I feel the flexibility of the DD series gives me the HT as well as music... 
Preamp for McIntosh MC162
I used to have C712 and thought it was a nice pre-amp and would be less money. It does have remote and is about the same vintage at the 162. Another consideration is a C15 which is a little older. 
DTS and Mcintosh Mac-3
I had a MAC-3 yrs ago and traded up to the MSD4 that had DTS. I think it defaults to Dolby Pro Logic, but my memory is not 100%. The MSD4 sounded better too as it had better processing speed. 
Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away?
Levchappy, I have always thought that the thumb drive/SD type card would be such a great solution. Physical Storage, no moving parts, cost of production, little tiny thumb drive racks,no concern about scratches, Clocking issues, the list goes on. ... 
Guilty pleasure of the month
Oh like I would publish that in cyberspace! And the guilt adds to the pleasure, by the way.... 
Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away?
It seems that rumor has been going around for some time now. I doubt it will ever completely vanish. I do wonder why in todays technological in media storage why we haven't seen a Thumb Drive or SD type card for media. Way back in the early 80's w...
