If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
The one thing that gives me pause about this transport is the comment that they recommend it not be left on for any more than 24 hours at a time... I’ve never heard anything like this before. Leaving power tubes on while not playing music, sure. B... 
Why didn't DAT tape decks succeed in the market?
Maybe it’s time to breakout the ol’ Tascam and load up some shows on the system and go down memory lane... I have a couple masters where my recording ended up being the one to get. Didn’t happen for me to many times—lol.

Finicky. Cleaning and head alignments we’re sort of a pain.  
Best used speakers under $10000
No Daedalus (Argos?) recommendation on the list yet? Warmish yet detailed room filling sound, with life sized images and a realism/human factor some on your list don’t have.  
Upgrade from my Modwright KWA 100SE
Same amp basically so not much point Not true at all. Different designs. The 100SE is a MOSFET amp. You will get better detail and resolution out of the 150, which will bring bigger more spacious soundstage. Also more refinement and much deeper lo...

Redbook and tacos would be fine with me...but if anything, it’s probably tostadas.

Looking forward to your details teajay.what are the differences between the CDT-2 and the CDT-3, and I wonder type of sonic performance jumps are included? 
Paypal issues through Audiogon
 I’ve had a different issue of compatibility between audiogon and PayPal for over the past year and a half + now. My PayPal account is verified yet on Agon they say it is unverified  so I cannot offer payment via PayPal for any listings here. I’ve... 
Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.
@d2girls,Your intention was lost and came across as an odd blanket statement. I’m certainly not going through all your post but am glad I posted so you could have a chance to explain your ‘joke’. Thanks.

d2girls, that is a fictitious ‘consensus’. Unless you’re some savant that has tallied every opinion from every thread about all those speakers (and I think the outcome would still be different)...I’m guessing you’ve read a few threads since being ...

Tejay, have you 3ver heard the PS Audio PWT Transport? Wondering it would make the list of great Redbook players. Thanks for the endorcment of this one.  
Am I hearing things?
I put two 20a dedicated lines in the new house when we moved in last year. Took them a couple weeks to lose the shrillness and settle. 
Music Server Recommendation
^ I say go for it! Innuos. There’s years of consensus out there about Roon. And you could go USB or Ethernet to your PS DAC with a bridge II right?  
Which DAC as a preamp?
I like a lean precise detailed neutral DAC and then pair it with a seeet sounding tube preamp. YMMV but I seem to get the best of both worlds - accuracy detail but with warmth and musicalityThat pairing makes sense... but also describes the sound ... 
Innuos Zenith
 So the Zenith MKII is $6k and the next up (the two chassis unit) will be $14k.Seems to me the ‘sold out’ SE  is/will be a hole in the lineup and may be shooting themselfs on the foot by not continuing to offer it.  Seems like a bad business move....
