Help: Tube Power Amp - Popping and Cracking
THe procedure you used should have revealed that there is a bad tube somewhere. Since the problem still persists and did not shift to the right channel when you moved the tubes, it's up for grabs. I would consider having it looked at by a professi... 
Has anyone ever cried listening to your system
Nietzchelover, I would venture to say that most people on the planet have a greater emotional response to visual rather than auditory stimulus. I am one of the comedians and I have no problem stating that I have either shed a tear or held them bac... 
Is anyone using sand boxes under their speakers ?
All of my components are sitting on Brightstar platforms except for my power amp. However, I have never used the platforms as speaker stands. Mapleshade records sells maple speaker stands, but they are a little pricey. http://www.mapleshaderecords... 
Has anyone ever cried listening to your system
I would like to speak on behalf of all of us "comedians". It's all in fun and I don't think any harm was meant by anyone. When I listen to music, I am emotionally involved, it renews me on a spiritual level, but I guess, I just don't understand th...

New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor
Some posters have advised you to remove your subwoofer which makes the most sense. However, I don't see where you mentioned that you were using a subwoofer. Are you using a subwoofer? 
Has anyone ever cried listening to your system
Just the other night I thought I was going to cry while listening to "Countdown to extinction" and I was not quite prepared for this type of musical experience! Can someone recommend which tissues are best to use when wiping one's tears. I was gra... 
New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor
Dweller had a good idea to ask if you could listen from their apt/loft which would put you in their position. It might be a good idea to turn the tables by inviting them to your place. They can become friends/allies instead of just neighbors. You ... 
McIntosh C2300
Lou, before you make any purchases of Mcintosh equipment you need to read this post from a few months ago. Type in mcintosh warranty in the search field and you will see it. 
back to ask again long sorry
Since you fixed everything and it even occurs at your friends house, maybe it's the quality of electricity being delivered to your community, voltage fluctuations, etc.

Actually, no one has shed a tear yet, but frequently my wife does have a strong emotional response to the music. Just last night she screamed from the bedroom to lower the volume so she can hear the television. Women!! 
Is cable synergy important?
Lacee, I went from Kimber 8TC, to Nordost Red Dawn & SPM, to Cardas Golden Reference and am currently using Speltz Anticable. Maybe it's not on this post but there are a lot of posts on audiogon in which folks are giving a thumbs up to Anticab... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I think one could get off the merry go round for a while but if you are a music lover and an audiophile, you are still in the amusement park! You may not be on the rides, but you are reading magazines, posts, etc. and are always thinking about equ... 
Is cable synergy important?
There are also many people that believe that all components should be from the same manufacturer!? There are no sure fire solutions. I agree with SNS, whatever works, works! 
What's the best sounding equipment racks?
You can't audition a rack, so I would not replace the rack until the room is finished and you have a chance to listen to your equipment in the new room. Everything may sound so good, you may not feel the need to replace it. Just my .02 cents.
