Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
I think the fact that they updated their website to put a timeline on it means there will be more available. I put my name on the list in case I decide to get one, so I wouldn't overpay for one right now. I think a lot of people who are doing it n... 
Any Talon Khite owners out there
@rooze @fixedincome - Hey thanks guys! and thank you for the link Rooze, that's what I needed to know! Those are some good looking stands too! I'm going to give them a try and see what I think. Thanks everyone! 
Any Talon Khite owners out there
Thanks prof - I guess I will find out. I did get them cheap so it's not a problem. There were some pretty good reviews out there at a time which is the reason I think I would take the plunge.

That's okay prof, you can say it. Mine are in a black finish and they are the old Talon's. I bought them for an extremely low price just to experiment. I haven't hooked them up yet so I don't know how they sound.

Just bumping myself here 
Who still listens to their First Generation Cd Players?
Hmmm I have a Pioneer PD65 that has about one whole hour on it. I was going to sell it, but maybe I should keep it?

Talon Khorus
Okay I will say that I heard them at an audio show in NYC a few years back and I thought they sounded pretty good. I'm not sure what version I heard, I understand that there were actually a few versions with changes made in the crossover over the ... 
Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7
While I am by no means an expert but you may want to be looking for a Dac or Pre-amp/Dac that supports apple airplay giving you the ability to wirelessly stream to it. 
Vintage automatic turntable recommendations?
I remember my old turntable in the 70's was an automatic, it was a Pioneer PL516 if I remember correctly. But there are a lot of automatic Pioneer's around. It had an automatic return. I do remember one that was fully automatic but can't remember ...

Pioneer 150's
I know the 150's are higher up in the food chain but I have a pair of HPM 40's I bought in 1979 or so. I kept them all of these years more out of nostalgia than anything. I hooked them up not too long ago and can tell you it was pretty disappointi...
