Help with Turntable selection
Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. I am leaning towards a Nottingham Space Deck (there are three for sale on Audiogon). Aesthetics have alot to do with my decision, I do like the design. I am also trying to decide on a cartridge that... 
FM antenna for the attic?
Second on the Bob_bundas Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth and ST-2 combo recommendation. I did move my ST-2 to the roof though for even better FM. 
What is the best sounding CD Changer.
Strateahed--- there is a c555es for sale here on audiogon... 
What is the best sounding CD Changer.
The TRL 2000es is a good player but you can pick up a 555esfor less and the build quality along is worth it. I did have a chance to A/B the 2 players and it was not close...the stock SCD-c555es was better in my system. 
What is the best sounding CD Changer.
Sony SCD-C2000es...very similar to the 595, came out later, very good with mods as was the 595. I have owned the 2000es modded by TRL and still put my money on the stock Sony SCD-c555es. I have had no problems with mine.

Most Musical Subwoofers?
If you have a large room you may want to consider 2 subs. (This was just discussed on a earlier thread). I have had great results with Rel over the years. Good luck,Greg 
Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES
I read the audio asylum link and disconnected the i-link...now I just need a xa5400es to listen too! I think some of the discussion on build quality has focused on the cdp's weight. Build quility is more than physical weight. The xa9000 has more e... 
Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES
Dbphd,I think most would know the difference if I did not hit the model # by calling it a multi player....excuse me.. the 9000es in the model # is enough to cause confusion! I think you do not understand the build difference between the DVD-9000 U... 
Best REL Subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6's
I have a large listing room also and use two Rel Storm IIIs. I have tried one sub many times for waf...it just isn't the same. It takes two to tango fast,tight and low!
