Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes?
Maybe they assume that the end user will probably use a universal remote and the included remote needent be of high quality. But I must add that I have had a number of McIntosh pre-pros/pre-amps and the remotes we of a standard quality. My last pe... 
Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
In addition to U571, which as indicated would be my go to, especially if I was a "subwoofer salesman", but I would also add "Cowboys and Aliens" to the above suggestions. 
Directv to ARC DAC?
Recently when DirecTV added Pandora I tried an Arcam irDAC to see if I could improve on the sound. I didn't notice any real discernible improvements nor differences that warranted the purchase. Both my dealer and I agreed that the quality level of... 
Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet?
They do very nice catalog indeed. Got mine Wednesday and have been spending much time "dreaming" of what I should buy. It is just so much nicer than staring at a monitor. I would love to visit their store someday. 
Cd Recorder Operation
I have a Pioneer Elite and a Denon Dual Tray that I have used many times to make compilation discs. On both you have the option to select "track" or "entire disc". So you slect the track and hit play or record depending on your recorder, being a s... 
What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles?
It seems the brand I get the most when people find out I am into music and equipment. "Oh do you have Bose?" I think to myself,Serioulsy? Bose!! I find it very hard to explain to them that, Bose, isn't even a good place to start. But not to appear... 
Bryston BDA-2, Moon 300D or Benchmark DAC2 HGC
Austinbob, Thanks for your response. I see that neither Bryston does DSD but in a phone call to Bryston "they are looking at it" but if and when is still undetermined. Had you tried the Benchmark before you went with the NAD? Also on the wyred4sou... 
Is a hairbrush available?
Glad to know that it wasn't an isolated case. Gee my parents could've saved thousands, but the psychiatrist would have never developed a healthy appreciation for rock and roll. 
Review Olive 06HD
Gee MoFi is it a Olive or a Lemon?? 
Sound bar turns off every 25 minutes but why?
How are you connecting the Video from the Oppo to the TV?Component of HDMI? If HDMI it could be that the Oppo is actually doing the shutting down of the audio, since it sees that HDMI in use, have you checked you Audio output settings in the Oppo? 
LP12 upgrades
I think you are on the right track. I know that just having the suspension set correctly can make a world of difference. These LP12's require a very delicate balance on the suspension to sound their best. You can add a number of upgrades, but if n... 
LP12 upgrades
If you haven't had it tuned by a Linn dealer recentley, you might start there. If the suspension isn't adjusted correctly and a reputable Linn dealer hasn't gone through the table you could be missing out on a better sound from your table as it is...

Not a Band but a duet- David and DavidTheir debut album is one of my fav's. 
DirecTV HD reciever Digital output
Tubeears, thank you for your response and suggestions. I tried a Arcam rDAC and there wasn't enough difference to warrant the change. I think a tubed DAC may bring results that I may like. However the game has changed a little bit. I bought a Sono...
