Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
Personal experience- any newer Linn by which I mean made in the last 25 years is a pretty stable machine that is not prone to go out of adjustment. Setup is key and unfortunately, at least in the US, competent Linn people are few and far between. ...

Is everyone who is experiencing operational anomalies on the new Mdx board finding it's on the left channel only?  
100v,115v versus 230v
Audio gear such as amps, preamps, tuners, CD players etc typically have transformers inside. Whatever the line in voltage is, that line in voltage is changed to whatever the component actually runs on

No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options?
I don’t exactly need a 6’ pair for a 2nd system right now but it might well come in handy in the not too distant future. The cost of re-termination is about 40% of what a new 6’ pair would run-

Reliability of brand
I've not had a ton of repair experiences but I have experienced incredibly fast turnaround from Bryston. As far as Mac, I am fortunate- I can make it up to Binghamton, spend the day in Binghamton, and come back after dinner all in one day. With my...

I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell
I saw you ad- it says as is and does not work. And the buyer is upset it does not work? Maybe a burned motor when the buyer tried to open the drawer. This buyer will make your life hell unless you take it back. I sell a fair amount on eBay and my ... 
McIntosh MR78 upgrades?
