Marantz SA-11 S1 drawer not opening and some SACD won't read
I have already contacted United Radio and Just Audio and they will need to look at it to give me an informed diagnosis. Both places are extremely reputable. Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions.  
Marantz SA-11 S1 drawer not opening and some SACD won't read
I have opened it before but it’s a bit more than I can do. I consider myself fairly technical but would hate to ruin it. The repair manual is available on pdf all over the web and there are also a couple of videos, however some steps are missing.  
Parasound P6 Volume control increments.
I just pasted a reply from Parasound at the bottom of the thread. Excellent company and they were super quick to respond.  
Parasound P6 Volume control increments.
Hello again. I received this email this morning and here is a very clear explanation to the volume issue. I must say that the folks at PArasound are super quick to respond. The P 6 and HINT 6 volume control and Zpre 3 and 200PRE  mapping results i...

Thanks to unsound and roberjerma. Krell sent me a quote about a year ago of about $800 plus the shipping cost to their shop in CT from NC which would be about $80. They are fetching about $1200-$1400 in the used market and I feel that I would be w... 
How good are Shunyata power cords??
Thanks so much gbmcleod. I just read your insightful opinion and my favorite word you used was musicality. That's what I am looking for in my rig. Get me closer to the music and get the system out of the way. Best.

Hi Matt. Thanks for your reply. The amp does run hot but it has good ventilation and honestly it does not sound brittle. I must say that it sounds better after two hours of being on. A bit softer and mire liquid. It does not have the buttery or ro...

Thinking about buying an Lp12, Lingo table.
Hi Orpheus10. The problem with the Rega is that they hum like crazy. I tried everything possible and and you may read it in some of my other posts. The table is now back at the service center to figure out what is wrong with it. They sent my deale...
