Burning CDs of downloaded music
Get one of these and record onto CD as the music is being played. Record on CDs that say, "CD-R for music" (rewriteable or not) and it will play on any standard CD player once the CD is finalized by the unit. I have 2 of these. I also have couple ... 
Grandinote becoming more U.S.A.
ghasley: Are you a Grandinote representative? Unless you are, the question was not directed at you. I don’t know where you got your numbers. Average American Income | 25 U.S. Salary Statistics [2023] - Zippia BTW I fall in the top 1.5% (higher if...

Got anything the average US population can afford?  
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
ghdprentice: The Nakamichi dragon was about as good as they got.  The only thing it was missing was Dolby HX pro, they only went up to Dolby C. Now days one in descent condition is worth some $.  No wonder you liked the Nakamichi sound!  I had on...

Thinking of changing amplifier to
curiousjim OP: You must have me confused with someone else. I said nothing about wattage. Good luck with your decision.  
Thinking of changing amplifier to
That's like comparing apples and oranges.  The BHK 300 mono blocks are in a different and higher league altogether. Not to mention the fact that you'd be stepping up to separates.  Even the BHK Signature 250 s, which are a couple of steps below th... 
Reading issues with Rotel CD players?
Among others, I have a Marantz SA 8005 and CD 6007.  I've had them for many years, and they are still performing without any issues. The CD 60 sounds like a safe bet!   
Good measuring DACs vs.
mclinnguy: The Doors was one of those countless bands that never put out a descent sounding recording.  Probably sounds better in your car because your car's audio system is less resolving than you your home system...
