universal player that will plav dvd-audio?
Send one of us a disc you made and we will try it out? I've got a 103 & 105 to test it on. 
Hearing issues and signal attenuation
Have you tried Mono? 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
Rebbi, your are correct that my DCA 4 driver is no longer made. I believe these were a single run only. If I were to pick another driver to install it would be the Jordan. 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
I spend 5 days a week in my office with a pair of Merrill Zigmahornets. There is nothing harsh about them nor any spikes in frequencies. You won't believe the bass you can get out of a 4" quarter wave transmission line speaker. These hold their ow... 
Cambridge Audio 840-C cd- problems
The 840 is a great unit. Post what area you are in and people should give repairs centers. On another note, the DAC in there is great and you could always use an outside source such as cd/dvd/pc and run the digital input? 
Audiogon's new security
Yeh, they would post this. I'm sure my negative attitude will get blocked. THEY SUCK

Avantgarde Uno/Duo owners in the Boston area
Upscaleaudio.com has a pair for $4500. I've never heard them but awesome price. 
Concerns purchasing Vintage System?
Have you looked at what LaScala's sell for? Those are the easiest to see if they work. Most likely they work perfectly. The rest of this gear can be sold as-is and you would still clean up. $2000 is extremely safe to pay. I'll take it all for that... 
The Fisher Model 420
Ok, I'm a little confused here. The 510 is stereo, the 30-A is mono. Do you have a pair of 30-A amps? Both pieces are nice vintage gear and have a solid following with good potential. A single 30-A won't fetch you nearly the price of a pair. Condi... 
Am I going to blow the Gallo A'divas
Do you have any idea how loud that will be before they would overload? Ouch! 
Tube pin question?
Use a wire brush-gently, then apply contact cleaner before using. 
Upgrade CDP, or go with outboard DAC?
If you are going towards computer, get a DAC that can handle USB. The Arcam is great as a transport. Once you get everything on a computer or network hard drive you will love it.
