Cd disc changers.
I have an Anthem CD-1, a 6 cd changer from Sonic Frontiers second line, and I consider it high-end (or at least "high-endish.") No matter what you label it, it sounds very good, and the build quality is excellent.  
MiniDSP 2x4HD used with a high efficiency system
tinear . . .  I bought my AER's lightly used quite a while ago. I think they correspond to DB-1 in their current line-up. Do you know anyone in the States who can refoam them? I saw a post somewhere recently that related someone's effort to do it ... 
MiniDSP 2x4HD used with a high efficiency system
tinear . . . I am using AER drivers which replaced Lowther DX-3's. The Voxativ look amazing but out of my price range. On-the-other-hand, the AER's now need refoaming, and I am not sure I have any option other than sending them off to Germany to A... 
MiniDSP 2x4HD used with a high efficiency system
I use the MiniDSP with my Oris 150 horns, but I just use it as a low pass filter to the bass cabinets set at160hz with a second order filter—this matches up well with the natural roll off of the horns while providing a clean signal to the horns.  ... 
Personal Tuner Evolution
Yes, and perhaps a bit undervalued because they are not as nice looking as many of their Japanese competetitors, let alone Marantz or McIntosh.

1. Pioneer TX-9500II2. McIntosh MR-783. Marantz 20bFor me the Pioneer sounds best by a small margin (although the MR-78 is now what I listen to--go figure!) The Marantz lags behind (and it has been recently serviced.) 
Looking for a CD player that holds 5 CDs
An Anthem CD-1 by Sound Frontiers. It may be hard to find, but I still think mine sounds wonderful. 
Technics Sp-10 platter screws
A little "googling" taught me the original platter screws are "pan head shoulder screws." There seem to be several sources in England, or one could have them custom made in China if you needed several thousand or so. If someone with the original s... 
Technics Sp-10 platter screws
What diameter is the bushing? I need the screws (although the table sounds fine without them,) but don't particularly want to pay the £49 the chap in England is charging. 
A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game
I have the SP (Standard Play, i.e,. 78 RPM) version of this cartridge that I picked up in unused condition for a song on ePay, and it is wonderful --especially for post-War (that would be WWII for those of you have lost count) sides. Without inter... 
What's the best buy for 2nd hand at 200 USD?
Late 70's Sony direct drives are still decent values and under rated performers. Look for PS-X6, PS-X7, PS-X60, or PS-X70 or variants there of on the auction site. 
Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00?
I have two mono MC cartridges–Denon DL102and Ortofon SPU mono–and both have sufficient output for any normal MM phono stage. Of the two, I find the Ortofon has a naturalness that the Denon can't quite match, but the Denon is cheaper and satisfying... 
Small DAC With Balanced Outs
The Apogee MIni-Dac should fit the bill. 
MONO cartridges
I think if you are mainly playing mono re-issues, a Helikon Mono may be the way to go (if you have the funds.) Their sophisticated stylus may be a better match for modern cutting heads. If you are like me and have a bunch of old mono lps and 45's,... 
Which CD players have AES/EBU digi outs?
Pro audio cd players! I have a Denon Dn-C680 with AES and S/PDIF digital outs (and balanced and unbalanced analog outs.) It is a very substantial broadcast deck that retails for c. $1,000, but if can often be found used for much less. (I payed $66...
