Upgrades to UHD Blu-Ray
OLED is the next technology for TV's, looks way better than UHD. Currently the 40" OLED are running around $3000.00 or more. This is why the 4k's are coming down so fast in price. Wait for 6 mons and see where the OLED TV's are then, in size and p... 
Help with System Musicality
If I were you I would change out ALL your cables for the same brand Like Morrow Audio, Only then will you be able to make correct upgrade choices. Honestly, Cables (and they don't have to be expensive) will make or break your system. The gear you ... 
What tube preamp is a step up from Rogue Magnum 99
I 2nd the Modwright! Good call Winoguy. But, I find that I like the Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp even better, (I loved my Modwright SWL 9.0, My dad has it now) or Manley Labs 300B! All of these preamps use a different tube set but they all sound warm ... 
Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow
I use Morrow Ic's in my system and I love them. But, my system needs Fast, quick, accurate, musical sounding cables for it to really shine. Morrow cables sound a lot like Nordost cables. Audio Quest makes great cables as well, I really think its a... 
REL T-7 match to Kef 104/2's?
Fivefasts, Monstercable speaker wire is multi stranded and will fuzzy up the sound. I really think you would be shocked to hear what a good solid core built speaker cable would do. Try some from Signalcable.com or Morrowaudio.com . After you fix t... 
Can You Rewind The Broadcast On A Bonehead Play?

Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
I'm not looking or speaking from paper specs. I have owned all of the amps mentioned and listened to them intimately. If that's worth anything. Mofi has made valid and correct statements of the specifications. I'm talking about the way they sound,... 
Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
I used it to drive a pair of Mirage M 3's and while it did drive them it was not ideal synergy. The Mac 7200 was a much better sounding amp for that speaker...Now having said that the MC352 sounds way better than both.

Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
Yes Mofi, I was thinking of electrostats, sorry I was confusing the two. thanks for correcting me. I always respect your comments. But I will say that 3.2 ohms is not an ideal load for the Mc2255 when compared with a 8ohm load that this MAC was re...

Beware How I was ripped off
Thank you for the post..I always try and use PAYPAL..Even more so now! Sorry you got burned that's so un kool. I hate to hear about a bad apple that is still out there. 
Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
The McIntosh you have is an older piece from the 80's, it is very well re-guarded among MAC people. It has a lot of bells and whistles for an amplifier (which is nice) and it sounds very good. If you plan on keeping the McIntosh, I would search fo... 
Do you use a wool record mat? Do you upgrade?
A4bfamily, I agree with you that turntables are meant to be played with ....good points you made. I took a used $650.00 P3/24 and spent another $600 on improving the bearing, sub platter, platter ,and added a 3mm spacer (custom groove tracer)I pla... 
Sub suggestions
My brother uses the LSA statement integrated with a pair of Martin Logan Summits. He uses a REL and loves it. I also use REL with my Dynaudio Contour 3.0's. The REL hooks up off the MAIN amps output so it gets the same signal as the main speakers ...
