New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
Sadly, much of what you have observed hits the nail squarely on the head.  It seems well over 90% of the time when someone suggests a piece of gear it is unqualified.  And, as you observed, the OP often never lists what qualities they are looking ... 
Need help on a new CD/SACD player
I am sure Marantz does not have the parts.  Golly, keeping an inventory of parts might cost money!But I have found parts at sites that specialize in laser assemblies in the past.  Wish I could recall the name.  A shame to dump a nice player like t... 
Need help on a new CD/SACD player
I strongly suspect there is a laser transport assembly out there.  Are you certain that is even the problem?  How old is the unit? 
Tekton Double Impacts
@bullbuchananWhile I do not have experience with setting up a HT system, I understand the importance of of a seamless voicing of the speakers.  Every Klipsch I have heard is voiced very differently than the DI's.  I find the DI very neutral and sm... 
Tekton Double Impacts
The Double Impact center in only $1130.  It would be a perfect match.  Not sure why you would consider anything else. 
Shanling SCD-T200 not reading discs
Lasers always seem to take the blame.  While that might be the problem, more often the problem is mechanical.  Sleds and pivot points get dry.  They need to be cleaned and lubed.  While you're at it clean the laser lens. Search the web.  I recall ... 
The Most "Analog" CD Player?
maybe that explains all the bad reviews--- "won't read my disc" 
Straight out of the box doesn't work.
Posting something like this....well, take a step back and make a phone call.  The odds are the unit is fine and Kevin can trouble shoot this over the phone with you.  If he does, and all is good, you would do well to post that along with an apology. 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
As he already tried 3 times to seat the platter-----send it back for refund or replacement.  Totally unacceptable.  Let us know how it turns out.   
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
I wonder how many classically trained musicians come on stage ripped?  Not many.Dianna Krall, several years back, was a let down.  Seemed under the influence. 
If your were to assemble a vintage system ?
What great memories of my first system.  There were so many beautiful receivers back in the late 70's.  I would be happy to keep my Pioneer SX-636.  And the Electrovoice Interface B's were ahead of their time.  Would keep those too.  Might upgrade... 
Tekton Double Impacts
jcarcoppo certainly had many nice things to say about his. 
Tekton Double Impacts
No jayctoy, I am one of the more boring steady players, but in this case very happy that way!  You may be thinking of jcarcopo?  You will be happy with the dynamics of the DI's.  Many owners have commented on that being a strength.I spoke to Eric ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Actually, Eric just came out with an update of his website and, yes, price increases.  These are minimal and in no way detract from the value of the DI's or any of his other speakers.  These still remain value saturated speakers.  Don't feel you h... 
Building a house
--10g dedicated line with quality outlets. (Unfortunately some codes require crap safety outlets so you may need to swap these after inspection)  --if using led lighting, place on a separate line.  Carefully consider lighting options. Ceiling cans...
