More turntable set up problems
I'm not tryimg to sound absurd here but is your stylus broken off? 
A strange phenomenon
A few months back a very similar thread was started here by a poster with PSB speakers and a Musical Fidelity integrated. Going by memory alone, I believe he posted under the moniker "fishing716". Over 500 responses came in. See if you can dig it ... 
Record stores in New Orleans .....
If you can only go to one make it The Louisiana Music Factory at 210 Decatur St. on the periphery of the Quarter. Massive selection. 
For the sound, or?????
If anybody oughta know about buying thimgs for show it would be you because, like you always said "...I AM show business!" 
Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$
Been considering one myself. The only comment I can make is that you might want to read Jerry Siegel's review of the Prism Audio Orpheus and subsequent review of the Berkeley which he compares to the Prism. The webzine is 10 Audio. 
Awesome Customer Support
Great that you posted this and kudos to ZU. Though not exactly along the same lines, I had a component out of warranty and the good folks at Pass Labs repaired it gratis and paid return shipping to boot. I can also say that all of the guys at Atma... 
The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn"
Glad to hear the MOFI is of good quality. But,of course, nothing could be worse than the original Derams. Simply tragic that a group with such a terrific early catalog were shacled with such third rate recording quality. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
But if the the AQs were miswired, it shouldn't take an hour for the bass to go south. Yet I still don't think there is/was anything wrong with either the MF or the PSBs. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Mu guess is that if you were to hook up your old MF integrated you will have no further problems with your bass. I'm sure the miswiring was the culprit (or, at least, that the MF wasn't). At any rate, a happy ending, it seems. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I'm with you Seikosha. I very seriously doubt that Fish's audio gremlins have anything to do with the amp. 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
Hi Loh,Just to be clear, I've read your post twice now. You contend (first), that the fact that reviewers consistently fail to bash any meaningful number of products that they write about could be the likely cause of the demise of the high end ind... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
The dropout in sound as described seems to fall in line with what one would encounter if one phase of the signal/incoming power feed were to drop out somewhere along the line. Preamp volume control or ac outlet problem possibly? However, I cannot ... 
LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers
I don't think there's a bad choice in the lot but Jim Smith (everyone knows who Jim is by now, right?) would tell you to go with the Auroras. He's using Canterburys at this time. 
Dear Moderator
And both you and the athletic dir...oops...moderator get to keep your jobs!!! 
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
It has been suggested to me by Ralph Karsten that the problems you describe could be the result of RFI contamination of your environment. The only part of your story that gives me pause is that the problem seems to show up after warm up. I don't s...
