    MS300 Spare part

    It appears that you have replaced a number of parts on your unit that I have not heard of failing before. The only issues that I have read about on the MS300/750 having issues are the tray, swapping out the fan, and replacing the hard drive. I also read about and had the digital drop out issue...

    4 ohm load on a Mac MC-126 Bridged

    I had the same dilemma with my MC7106. I left it unbridged and it sounds and performs better for my center and surround 6 ohm speakers.

    ouch! That is fairly low, but I would look for a used Denon 3910. I love mine and see them for a very good price in audiogon.
