@in_shore ,I received my Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 transport today. I'll get right to the point,  how could you return this unit for sake of mere convenience?  It's simply stunning! Utterly musical, completely emotionally engaging music reproduction and... 
Question for all TriPoint owners......
@garebear,I have my Tripoint Troy on the Star Sound Apprentice platforms. I suggest using their larger (APCD-4 coupling disc) inverted brass disc to fit over the audio points that come with the excellent platform. The Apprentice platforms are near... 
Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used
Congratulations @paulcreed. Pure class A push pull topology.  I haven't heard this brand but  reportedly they have very robust power supply and output transformers.  I hope this amplifier works out well with your particular speakers. Charles

@rwpollock, Class D SPEC amplifier driving Boenicke W-8 and Shindo Cortese driving the Nenuphars. Which is your primary system? Surely they possess rather different sonic presentations. I’ve always come across comments of high praise for the F2a o...

Hi @chayro, Following that logic , one could simply purchase a current production CD Pro-8 drive unit and keep it for future use/installation if ever required. Jay’s Audio uses a well regarded but obsolete Phillips CD drive unit. As you point out ...

@douglas_schroeder, + 10! An excellent and honest/bluntly put assessment. You rarely if ever see forum threads where people try to take a very cheap route assembling an analogue turntable system. They know it’s a futile effort and poor quality sou...
