Uppermidfi, do you know if you can get a replacement transport for the XA? I have one that's transport could use some cleaning and I wouldn't mind having a backup. Do you know where to get the new transport for the SCD? Maybe that is where I should start to look.
Itching for an SACD player
I presently own an Audio Aero Prima. I was good to go (and still may) this Spring with an APL Denon 3910, but the purchase of new speakers, cabling etc. may mean a hold on the APL. What is out there in the way of SACD/CD player that will sound significantly better than my Prima, and do SACDs? Mods and used are cool, as well. I just don't think I will be able to go for $6.5k for the APL, and with the way digital is going, the APL may be dated by the time I receive it. Not really, of course, but you get my drift? thanks in advance. peace, warren
