Tonearm for Technics SP-15
EPA-250 Tonearm and B500 Base are beautifully engineered and manufactured. B500 Base in perfect cosmetic condition had: 1. Frozen Arm Lifter and 2. Frozen Anti-Skate. Presumably stored a long time. Seller may have been unaware. Tough decision: m...

TT Recommendation
Here's a Two Arm Handyman Special JVC Victor PL-2 Plinth; TT81; Two #7045 arms with VTA on the Fly (both need rubber gaskets replaced (most need rubber replaced: I found a plumbing washer at home depot that fits); some woodwork, a chip in rear co...

op, It’s a shame they won’t handle it. Twice I had $1,100. TT's shipped by sellers from Canada, no excessive charges. I had a $1,000. tonearm shipped by seller from Russia, no excessive fees. ............................................... my... 
Trouble Understanding an Ad.
arafiq It may be the single unit which sells for $3,400. usd, OP needs to verify.  
Trouble Understanding an Ad.
Well, combined single unit, now it’s a darn good price as someone mentioned earlier. $3,400 USD. So, why is seller saying retail $2,500? ............................................................... Warranty Info Sellers have agreed to handl... 
newer CD player w/DAC that could replace AMR CD-77.1
Will you be playing SACDs? I recently learned, most SACD/CD players read a SACD’s higher resolution DSD content, but then internally convert DSD to PCM CD Redbook resolution, that’s what goes to the preamp. Advantage of recording DSD is retained,... 
SACD Players: Models with DSD Processor (used and new) (not dsd converted to pcm)
Marantz, Yamaha, I have never heard their CD or SACD players. I bought a nice Denon with dual processors, but didn't like it, too sharp, a bit bright, I found one I really like, Onkyo Integra CDC-3.4 Mark II,  but it does not play SACD, thus this...

SACD Players: Models with DSD Processor (used and new) (not dsd converted to pcm)
anwar, thanks so much, I gather the older Marantz DV8400 is not MMM version.  
Trouble Understanding an Ad.
on the ad page, lower left, green button 'Reply to Ad' is how you write to the seller. I have to ask, Have you decided this is THE model you want? seller says retail 2500, sale 2000. If new with warranty is 2500, I'd rethink, buy new or offer le... 
SACD Players: Models with DSD Processor (used and new) (not dsd converted to pcm)
anwar, thanks, please tell me the other specific model #s. Also, do you know if they have single or dual processors? I am looking at lightly used ones, but it’s so hard to get clarity. Found a nearly new Marantz DV8400, Is that one SACD DSD out ... 
SACD Players: Models with DSD Processor (used and new) (not dsd converted to pcm)
It's about playing existing SACD discs directly into the system, getting the DSD off the sacd and out the player's rca's without converting to PCM's limitation within the player.  
TT Recommendation
Think Long, proceed with all or some now. What do you listen to? Any Mono? More than 1 Stereo Cartridge? A MM cartridge, and/or a MC Cartridge? IOW, think about having either 1. TT with Single Tonearm with VTA on the Fly (fairly quickly change ...
