Kenwood L-02 tuner actually a unicorn
Mburnstein, you have two L-02 tuners? If that is right, that is not fair. It is like having two wives. Illegal and just unfair. 
Speaker upgrade
I have purchased a single DD-18 at this time. I will add this then think about a second to get the true stero effect.

High quality transports
I did compare it and as stand alone transport I think I liked it a little better but after the upgrades no contest Wadia 270 SE with mods by GNS was better.
