$2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105
Out of the box the 105D seems to match up well with the Hegel H200. The versatility of this unit is truly impressive. Similar sound stage to my Arcam DV29 with considerably more detail. My only concern is that I would consider some musical instrum... 
$2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105
Ordered the 105D last week and will give that a try in stock form to start with. Will also pick up the Ayre C-5xeMP to compare the two. Shouldn't have much trouble moving either one for a slight loss after the shootout. I ended up with a pre-owned... 
Sansui 9090DB dates??
I actually owned this receiver it was sent to me by a serviceman stationed overseas. Believe it was around 1973, but don't know how long they had been out before I bought mine. 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help

RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
I will be attending as well for the 2nd time in 5 years. There doesn't seem to be nearly the speaker selection I was able to audition the first show I attended. Living in Omaha for many years I am familiar with The Sound Environment. Some of the s... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I would take Zd542's advice and focus on the entire system. You may be better served spending the money you save not buying the Bryston on your source components than cables.Tough to beat the value of the Parasound gear overall. I am looking at th... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
Looking to move forward on this project would anyone be able to tell me is a CJET3SE would work with the B&W 803s speakers? With the phono stage included this looks like an economical way to test the waters including the ability of adding an a... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
The CJ ET-3 SE looks like a definite option here. Any suggestions on power amps in the $2K-$3K range would be appreciated that match up best with this preamp. Would my Anthem A2 be suitable until I could find an alternative without clouding the so... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
Unfortunately I just don't have the access to the lines required to go forward with moving tubes into this system at this point. Perhaps a recommendation of a dealer specializing in tube equipment could help my local shops are just not very tube f... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
Thank you all I at this point I am leaning to the Halo a21 and suitable tube based preamp. This seems like a prudent way to try some tube equipment within my $2500 budget. My Halo dealer will let me borrow their A21 to audition with whatever pream... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
Thanks appreciate the comments across the board.I have no problem updating the amp as well and was looking at the Halo A21 if that would be a better tube preamp match, or other suitable suggestions. Really no interest in replacing the speakers as ... 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
The preamp option seems to be the preferred method based on what I have read, but thought I would explore all avenues. Unfortunately there is no one in KC where I live doing much with tube equipment. Any suggestions on a tube preamp would be most ...
