Plasma Bracket for above Fireplace question???
I would never have a plasma unit above, or anywhere near an active fireplace. 
Where to go from here? upping the tube ante
The Tannoy speakers are a great match for your 2102. I own the 2102 and it was a real toss-up between the tannoys and Kef Referance 205s. I finally opted for the Kefs and I am happy. It is interesting what you folks say about the tubes. Perhaps i ... 
VGA-RCA Component Video Cable for Plasma?
Just try if or yourself and do what you like. I am told that the 15-pin RGB is the best analog feed to either projector or plasma. I set my Father-in-Law up with a Sony plasma and I use the 15-pin from the Satellite and it looks really good in Hig... 
can both balanced and unbalanced be used a once?
I use balanced and unbalanced outputs to power one system in my office and the other in my living room. As many above have stated you will encounter problems using them in the same room. It might not be worth it.One thing not to do: try and get fa... 
Blues /rock: music recommendations?
there are so many possibilities. tonight the PBS series on the blues is about the British Invasion and how it was led by the blues. watch it. take lots of notes.

Interesting thought. Perhaps reversing the tubes will answer the question. Also, it could be possible--although a remote one--that one of the tubes just needs to be tightened. 
Worst remote nomination...
While I have extensive experience with both direct tv and dish network, the one (and only!) comparitive thing I hate about dish is....the remotes. I have several sitting in a drawer someplace as they have a really hard time lasting more than 18-24... 
I am confused about 15A and 20A current.
Your Refrigerator could possibly be on a 20 amp circuit. Try plugging the whole mess into that outlet. If that circuit breaks, then that tells you something.

One more suggestion. Try reversing the connections at the Capitole. See if the hiss follows. Also, do you have XLR connections? Trying a different output (XLR) might tell you if this problem is just in the terminal, or a least somewhere past the D...

Have you reversed your speaker connections st see if the problem moves with the change. Then, try it again with your other connections. If the problem changes "downstream" it might not be the Cd player. 
McIntosh MC2000 vs. Goldmund 29
Tube rolling on the McIntosh amp. Cute. Maybe I will try it on my MC2102. Does this mean I now have to go out eand learn all there is to knwow about, yet another Audiophile Tangent? 
Where do tubes matter most???
My system is all tube, as is even the CD player which is the Audio Aero Mark II. The McIntosh 2102 glows well in the dark as does my vintage Fisher receiver. Together they heat my room which is appreciated in the winter.Oh yeah; sounds great,too. 
Speaker Recommendation for Tube Fan
No search for speakers powered by tube amps should be completed until you have tested the Tannoys and the Kef Referance. Tannoy is a great speaker and has long been a favorite of people who have McIntosh Tube Amps. Kef very recently came out with ... 
Shipping Speakers, watch out
I just got a set of Kef Referance speakers shipped accross the country via UPS. All went well. No problems. 
How can I improve Apple iTunes through my system?
My wife and I went to see my Grandparents in Albany Oregon, just two weeks ago. We drove to Corvallis and took advantage of the 'no sales tax' in Oregon and bought a G5. The middle model. The saved sales tax got us a really nifty digital camera. I...
