| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? In response to Jc2000 My first player was a JVC 6 disc changer purchased in 1987. I had a NAD receiver 1 pair of Radioshack Minimus 7's, a cheep pair of bookshelf BOSE, and a pair or home made 10 woofers. At the time it was awsome. | |

| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty I have read very few of these but just how much money do you have tied up in CD's and LP's. Do you want to replace them all with a new format or are you going to keep them. My choice is DAC and Transport for CD's (My DAC has a DSD converter in it ... | |
