@petaluman I brew my own coffee with an espresso machine. It's wonderful.
If you're looking to reduce your caffeine intake, consider experimenting with teas. In approximate order from most to least caffeine/drink:

Personally, I'm not much of a caffeine imbiber, but have had many friends into food & drink. I've consumed everything listed above over the years; these days drink them rarely, and usually at the green tea level. I've got a hankering to explore the whites, though... (Living in the birthtown of Lagunitas means I have lots of connections to music & drink through beer). |
If the risk of failure inherent to a decades-old mechanical device gives you anticipatory anxiety and curtails your enjoyment of the music, then buy new. If on the other hand you’re like, I’ll just buy another one if this one craps out, or if you or someone you know is able to fix it, then buy old. It all goes down to knowing yourself and what makes you happy :) Old Marantz players used Philips transports, back when Philips owned Marantz, and later they did develop their own transports. Personally I would avoid proprietary parts that make you 100% dependent on a single supplier. Major transport makers (Phillips, TEAC, Sony, etc.) usually have major wear parts, or even entire transport units, available to this day. CDM-family Philips transports are very well built and quite reliable.
Power in Japan is 100V And from the senseless nitpicking dept.:
@sns Mark Levinson No. 37 use a CDM12IND transport, not the later CD-PRO. At least, mine does. Wonderful piece of kit indeed. By the time No. 390s came around they may have switched to CD-PRO. |
