SAE or Luxman

One thing I learned the other day is that parts are no longer available to fix the digital display on the M-03. Such a shame.

SAE did make a CD player, at the latter stage of the companies existence, but of course built by someone else. the model was the computer direct-line compact disc player d102 with Hypersonic Digital audio with a remote.I have one they are very rare!!

A quick search shows one on reverb for $450. Nice looking unit. Think I'm going with Luxman as I just purchased a M-02 amp. 

gmosley - I didn't know SAE made a CD player, thanks for the correction. I've been an SAE fan since about 78'.

The SAE Mark I preamp (all knobs..no sliders) was a wonderful sounding preamp.  I mean stellar!  The matching amplifier  was also excellent, though not very powerful.  (50 or 60 wpc I think)
To me, Lux hit a ‘dead spot’ in the late seventies and most of the eighties.  
But there new preamp and amplifiers, especially the tube gear is beautifully made and superb sounding..

I’m very much a vintage guy.  If you choose SAE, the older the better.  To me anyway..
