How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
I didn't see anyone comment on how much "burn in" time is required before you can really consider it light! 
What is it called?
How much can you afford right now for a pre-amp? I have a Yamaha Pre-Amp C85 that is non-remote I could sell for 75.00 plus shipping. It has a decent phono stage plus 4-5 inputs. It's been a while since I have looked at it so memory is off a littl...

Thoughts on the Mac 352
I as mentioned by Velo62, also spoke with McIntosh and the advice Velo gives is concurred with completely. Save the dough unless you need the 50watts. 
Best wire metal to bridge speaker binding posts

Linn Unidisc SC
I own a Linn Ikemi and a McIntosh MX135 which uses most of the C45 in its pre-amp section. I tried the SC in a head to head with the Ikemi and there was no contest. I did the same in the dealers showroom and he even stated "well this is going back... 
advice on hiding cables
If you are sure that the speakers will reside where you have them currently placed. I would consider mounting jacks in the wall or the floor if the basement is unfinished. You don't mention the distance. Can you ,if you definitely don't want to cu... 
If Audio bug never hit you, what hobby might have?
I think I would have been a Sumo Ballarena for the Cuban Opera. Doing the "I Love Lucy 3rd Movement with the Ricky Riccardo Bongo solo" Or maybe a lawnmower guy.
