Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?
@elizabeth  I tried the same refrig magnets and yes they do work, maybe not to the effect the ones selling for $600 do (but don't know since I've not compared) but others should try this tweek out and let all know their experience.https://www.amaz...

Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Have to agree with @ricred1  the Blades never wowed me but OMG the Vivid Giya 1 or 2's made me sit up and listen. Hey we all listen for different things and hear differently. Granted it's sometimes what we want to hear. 
Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or -  Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's

Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?
Agree you should get 10-15% at least if buying 2 or 3 items then 20% would be reasonable.
