How has the Magnum indoor antenna SR-100 worked for you?
It's the best indoor FM antenna I've tried, and I've tried a few including the MD whip antenna and some powered antennas.

Wow an old album that rocked your world
I wanted to see how my TEAC NT-505 did with hi-res files and played the dsf files of Santana Abraxas that I bought a couple of years ago.  Holy smokes did that sound good!

@tomic601 I ended up putting on the first disc of It's Like This before going to bed last night.   
TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW
@macaw Yes, it will play DSD files.  I tried playing my Santana Abraxas DSD files the other night and it sounded glorious.

@uberwaltz I'd recommend getting the MFSL one-step.  I hate paying stupid money for records, but I think it's worth every penny. 
have you ever bought stereo without listening first
I've been disappointed more often buying something that I heard in person.  In two cases that spring to mind, I was in a hifi store just browsing around and heard something that caught my ear and seemed like a great deal.  I didn't do any research...

New TT for ~$1500
My comments are based on my ownership of the Clearaudio Emotion, which by all accounts is basically the same as the Marantz TT-15S1 with a different plinth and feet.  Some things to consider.  There's no dust cover.  That may or may not be an issu...

Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
