The Music Room
I just completed my third transaction with TMR. I had a McIntosh MC 152 amp I was going to list here for $2500.00. On a whim, I contacted TMR about trading in my amp towards a McIntosh MC 302 amp. I was offered $2500.00 for my amp towards the MC 3...

It’s all part of the break in process.  It will open up again.   
Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated.
I never heard of the cables you are auditioning, but if the Solution amp which is already extremely expensive needs cables that cost in the upper 4 figures to 5 figures, I would pass on them.  I just can't see why a piece of wire would cost 8K or ... 
MORE Esoteric problems
This post scares me as I have an Esoteric UX 3 Player.  It works perfectly at present but the thought of spending 1600 just for shipping gives me pause.  
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
I heard the Carver 350 amps at the 2017 RMAF and they sounded wonderful and very engaging.  The power was effortless. I think the Theta is a digital amp.  If I am right, the Carver 350 would definitely be the better sounding amp.

What kind of a company is that who won’t work on their own equipment when the warranty expires? Did you ask them who can repair it?

I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks?
I am using the Solid Steel S3 series of audio racks.  I highly recommend them.  A five shelf audio rack would run you around 999.00.  I use one for my ultra heavy Mac gear and it also solved an acoustic feedback problem with my turntable.  The rac...
