Review: Yamaha CR-840 Vintage AM/FM Receiver Amplifier
I wanted to add, since this set up is limiting my response.I have put my entire system together cheap. I wouldn't do it any other way. I mean nice stuff like Tannoy Monitors, Citation Power Amp, Rotel, Yamaha, Sony ES among others. Some Kef. I am ... 
Review: Yamaha CR-840 Vintage AM/FM Receiver Amplifier
I have a CR 2040. Euro version. It's nice, but I have found other units from the latter 80's, and on that sound much better. And it's not the only large vintage unit I have had.I thinks it's a nice unit. But I think that much of the Vintage 70's G... 
Review: Rotel RA-1062 Amplifier
Cubist works for Krell. Or worked for them? 
NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A
Celtic66, the pre/amp, outputs/inputs do have interconnect jumpers in place of steel ones. Still haven't hooked this up yet and given a good testing. I will early this coming week. The NAD has more features like MM/MC cartridge selector, and it ha... 
You are a KEEPER or a SELLER?
Eb, and Flow. Keep a few pieces, sell a few pieces. I sold two pieces this week, and found three. I buy to sell often, and rarely find anything I like that I can find cheap. Everything else is tested, and finds a home. It is nice to have a few ext... 
DAC's ?

DAC's ?
I will just leave the 855 the way it is. It was a dirt cheap find, and super clean, so just another toy. From what I am seeing, with some patience, and some timing, I can get a very nice newer CDP for not much more then many of the DAC's I am seei...

Magnavox FD 204 CD Player
Well I did not give up. I cleaned the lens with a dry Q-Tip, and it reads some discs, and skips on others. And is noisier now then it was before. I did not take the laser head out. Maybe I pushed to hard. It looks like the laser can easily be remo... 
Magnavox FD 204 CD Player
I think it just pooped out on me. Now it won't read discs. Bummer. I should be able to get a credit for it. Thanks for your replies. -Mark- 
Magnavox FD 204 CD Player
Thanks for your response. What is your nick? Does this unit take more then one belt? I have to get a very small star screw driver head to open the bottom of the unit. If anybody knows the exact size belts I need that would be great. I think this i...
