Mac MCD600 as preamp for 2xMC611...looking for input/help
The MCD600 can only do volume and not change sources, like a traditional preamp.  The MA9000 is a very nice integrated that I am sure you will be happy with.  Two MC611s need a traditional preamp, and, if you go that route I suggest a used C2300 t... 
correct order from iphone to receiver using airport express
Not sure you can get a direct digital out of an iPhone, or any Apple product.  At one time a few audio companies paid Apple for the input on how to do this - Wadia, Pro-Ject to name a few.  I guess the market was not large enough to offset the pre... 
Questions about VPI Turntables and rotational speed
There there are very knowledgable members at the VPI Forum site who would answer your question to the most finite detail.  I enjoy that sire very much. 
Which DAC as a preamp?
I use a McIntosh D150 as a DAC for my MCT450 transport but it is designed to be used as a preamp in a digital setting.  I a very happy with it as a DAC.

Phono stage hum
Your TT RCAs need replacing - bad ground. 
Phono stage hum
Call Manley tech support.  I had a SE version that developed a hum.  After various steps of troubleshooting they had me send it back.  They rotated one board 90 deg and solved the problem.

Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
Expect no more than 70% of cost of new Apheta (including discount when bought with table) if you try to sell.  With the Apheta there is no alignment to be set; will you need spacers with the ZYX?  The Apheta is a decent cartridge.  You can also bu... 
Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!!
The SC-2 is on y watch list but will wait until the bugs are worked out.  Track splitting and metadata is a must. 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
I don't believe your Rega Brio is an issue - it is a very fine integrated in that price point.  And the power is enough for the Klipsch.  I tend to fell they are not broken in yet.  You may be one of the type who does not like the sound of horns. 
iPod/ITouch direct digital connection to a DAC
"Are you using iTunes? If yes, make sure that the output is set to the D150."Yes, using iTunes.  Not sure what I meant by this statement - output set to D150. 
Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W
For my office system I am using the P3ESRs with Rega equipment; Brio (newer version), DAC-R, Apollo (newer version).  For my office (14 x 14 x 8) it is perfect but I have not really turned the volume up very loud.  At the levels I listen to the so...
