Sibelius, Thank you! i have started to read the reviews with great interest. Sounds very interesting.
Swampwalker...i will invesetigate. I have come across the name and heard good things.
Ramy - thanks for that! that sounds interesting given its great reputation. I have seen one in the STates on sale as well.
Elberoth - thanks to you as well. the synergy between lamm and wilson is well documented...if i ever come across s/hand lamm in my part of the world, i will give it a shot if nothing else to learn about this legendary synergy.
Muralman1 - i hear you...i used to use a USD$50 Daewoo transport with my Zanden...so my Oppo is an upgrade!!! The reason is because i only spend money on something if i keep it 10 years...given the speed of transport/media technology, i have bought a DAC and spent money on transports only when they break. Once Server Technology improves enough, i will go that way.
As for cables, one might be surprised what i paid for my Transparent REf...cents on the dollar having spend 3-4 years picking up each cable one at a time at unique prices. I do like them and probably would not want to go thru the brain damage of having to switch them out with another set.
I will definitely listen to H20 if i can find them in this country...have not come across.
Thanks everyone!!! All so helpful....lots to read about, and to go listen to!!!!!
