| New CD player or DAC? Thanks guys, the Yamaha is brand new so should make a good transport. Yes, a silly deal at $79.00, don't know how they do it. The upgraded cable is an interesting angle. I kind of took the power cable upgrades tongue in cheek.Yes, I wondered if an... | |

| Kenwood KA8100 & KT7500 I am still a fan of vintage audio gear myself. I remember those Kenny pieces, pretty solid gear. As stated above, caps may be an issue and binding posts are awful on most gear of that vintage. Those were bare wire days.You are right, they could gi... |
