Rega has a trade-in special going on now. 15% off of the Apollo and 25% of of the Saturn with trade-in of any CDP -working or not. I currently have a RC-1072 and am cintmeplating a Saturn. My dealer will take trade-in and plus give me some more of... 
Hail to Mcintosh
Tjnif,Hats off to AC for dealer support like that. I, too, have a C2200 and am curious what your symptoms were? 
Tequila's turn?
Don Julio Anejo - nothing else like it. We had tried numerous tekillya and always return to DJ. 
Suggestions for organizing albums
I just alphabetize mine, with categories mixed. I keep a spreadsheet (alphabetized by arists then sorted by year) so I know what I have when I go the the 'fun' store. I keep the LP order on the storage unit the same as the spreadsheet - I can find... 
mcintosh mc402+c46 or mc402+c2200,2300
I had been a solid state guy for all my listening years. Then, out of curiosity, I got a used C2200 and have wondered why I was so late to jump into the game. I am using a MC252 with it and am 'done' wwith upgrading amp/preamp. I have yet to roll ... 
Sub Woofer Cable to Mcintosh C220 Preamp
Also, another silly question: is the output that the sub is hooked up to turned on - the front panel output button should be lit up. 
Vinyl "bleed through"- need set-up advice
This is very evident on Shelby Lynn's "Just a Little Lovin'" title track during the first silent section. This is a very sultry, dark LP. 
My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go
What could I expect as far as discount from retial for a new pair? I honestly need to audition before plunking down $7K for monitors and no Dynaudio dealer in Houston has any to audition. 
T.H.E. Show 2010
Udailey, Who is the Houston dealer you auditioned the Jatons at? 
step up from rotel?
I recently upgraded from my Rotel RB-1092 and RC-1082. I spent 8 months auditioning various makes, and as mentioned above, Rotel is a good bang for the buck component. I listened to Krell, Bryston, Classe, W4S, Edge, Bel Canto and finally settled ... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Paid $499 new - for under 5 Benjamins tough to beat. 
Tube phono stage vs Solid state phono stage.
I second the GSP Era Gold V. I plan on adding the Elevator for low output MC cartridges. 
Rega p-5 cart upgrade
Glad you are happy with your choice. When I had my P5 w/Exact I was satisfied with the combo. When I upgraded to the P7 I kept the Exact as a backup and went with the DV20X-H. Another great combo, had to add 4mm of spacers for this cartridge. 
Dynaudio and Mac
I, too, am looking at the S3.4 to use with my C2200/MC252. Would like your impressions of the speakers once you have time with them. I am currenlty using Dyn 52SE + Sub20A. Thanks. 
Dynaudio Speakers With Tube Amps
I drive my Dynaudio 52SE + Sub20A with a McIntosh C2200 tube preamp and aMC252 SS amp. The sound is enveloping and very realistic. I was using Rotel gear previously and the new Mc gear helped tot ame the overall brightnees, although it was not tha...
