Arc Ref 3 Integra 9.8 XM Radio
I have an LS26 and use the POC form HT as well. In my understanding of the PROC vs a TUNER/CD/etc input is that the LS26/REF3 really don't do anything other than pass that signal through at input level. I am curious how you control the volume on y... 
Lyra Helikon upgrade
My dealer tells me the new Lyra Delos sounds better than the Helicon and the Kleos will most likely out perform the Skala. I haven't heard either yet but I have always liked the Lyra sound. From my point of view I would look at the Kleos as a repl... 
Mcintosh MX 150 any one heard it yet?
Suprised that no one has responded either docrobbi. I guess at 12K maybe they aren't selling as well as McIntosh expected. Maybe you should re-post the thread. 
bananas vs spades as terminals for speaker cables
Take a look at stereophile com they just asked this last week and the results are posted on the VOTE tab. My opinion is spades or bare wire. 
Touch up rust spots in black steel speaker stand?
Before you sand, it may be superficial rust. Have you tried cleaners on the spot. If anything take a small dab of WD40 and that can sometimes lift the rust off while coating the exposed metal and preventing it from rusting. If there is any area le... 
McIntosh MC252: What speakers to pair with?
I use a MC402 with Revel F32's and like the sound. But the beauty of McIntosh is I really don't know that I have heard a speaker that didn't sound good with them. I have heard in recent years Sonus Faber Cremonas with 501's, McIntosh speakers of c...

FM antenna for the attic?
I used to have an antenna rotator on my last house and that was great. I could aim it for best reception. When I moved the convenances said no roof antennas. I found out later that any convenace that restricts roof antennas is a violation of FCC r... 
cleaning with VPI 16.5 and Mobile Fidelity brushes
Markd does about the same as I do. I wet the brush and apply fliud to the record as well. And the good advice here is lableing the brush. I use Walker 4 step on used and MoFi enzyme on new or some time L'art duson on some as well. I keep seperate ... 
Mcintosh 1.2KW or Bryston 28B-SST
In my experience and opinion I would go McIntosh. It will be a better match sonically with the B&Ws. When ever I have listened to Bryston they seem a little forward to me. It could be the speakers but I have always heard that in Bryston system... 
Does a new Linn LP12 come with?
I think only the Majik comes that way the LP12 still has the same old armboard unless you opt for the Keel. To the best of my knowledge. 
Are Revel F12 speakers too much for a small room?
I one the Revel Performa F32' and after hearing the F12's I really doubted my decision to buy the F32's. Those sound so close to the F32's it isn't comical on any level expecially the $$ level. If anything like the Performas I would invest in amp ... 
McIntosh vs. Marantz ...... sonics?
McIntosh would be the next setp in all diminsions of sonic quality. You will receive a lot of advice against McIntosh but if you have an interest in McIntosh as I have had for years you will love it more than Marantz. Gleen out the anti-Mc comment... 
McIntosh SS Owners Question
Yes amp to power conditioner I was minus the ground plug. 
Mcintosh C39 pre question
There were two versions of the C39. One with Six Channel outs and one without. I had the 6 ch.output version. There was a set of SE and Bal output for front L&R but the 6 ch was all Single Ended. (As I recall) It has been about 12 yrs. You may...
