Hi Tmsorosk,

Any updates here? Did you buy anything (at recessionary pricing)? I have heard:
- ARC CD8
- Krell 505
- Full SCarlatti stack
- Vekian stack
- Emm Labs CDSA
- Zanden full stack
- DCS Elgar stack
- Wadia 7 series

My favorite continues to be Zanden. It is no longer the cleanest, most detailed. That belongs to the Full Scarlatti stack...incredible...truly incredible. it is the only one of the above that could make me think of replacing Zanden. I think there is something that after hours of use, with Zanden, i just keep listening to music...not to my system. That is very hard to replicate (at least for me)...so even if i could afford to go with scarlatti as second hand price, i was not 100% convinced after auditioning it that i would do it.

let us know if you made a choice...will be interested to hear.
