Amp + Record player from Pioneer CT-737 era?
EBay has a 1974 Pioneer PL-15D belt-drive for $25 + $26 shipping. The auction ends in four days. No bidders so far! Place a bid and you'll probably win it! This is a very good turntable, better than the cheap plastic base direct-drives!

Right now on EBay there's a Pioneer SA-6500 II integrated amp for $239 + $19 shipping. If you can afford it I can recommend it! I'll take a look for some vintage Pioneer turntables.

That was the post about the BAT CD player that needed repair. The  owner had a new Philips laser assembly and he contacted Victor Khomenko of BAT - who refused to service it. This CD player cost thousands of $$$ - it came with a spare Philips lase... 
Anyone heard of Waudio Company power cables?
Those that claim to hear a difference if you spend hundreds and thousands of $$$ are just trying to justify wasted money.

$50 is a fair price! Stop your neurotic worrying and spend money on something that really matters - like speakers!  
streaming and audiophile stereo
The problem with the streaming services is that there is no way to verify the provenance of music files. You don’t know if it was a copy from a master or a second generation that was dicked with (remastered). I stick with physical media where prov... 
Beware Bluenose Records Downloads
Ah, the joys of streaming! I stick to physical media! Just bought the Sheffield Labs Harry James CD from an eBay seller in CA - $5.50 + $4.50 shipping.      
My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today
@rar1 : those XP-66’s were made prior to 1964. All Fisher production came from the Long Island plant until later in the decade. I apologize for my previous post.  
It was 61 years ago today...
My mother commented both times! With Elvis it was about his gyrating as he sang. With the Beatles she didn't like their haircuts! My father said nothing! And seversl years later Ed Sullivan had on the Jefferson Airplane. Grace Slick wore blackface...
