What are you streaming tonight?
16f4, I envy you your initiation 
Tune of the Day
Jet...look what you've done. Really  pretty tune. 
Tandberg 3001, 3002, 3003
trigz, if it was me i'd list 'em together on ebay with a starting bid of $999--you'd probably get more listing 'em separately but it's less hassle w/packing, shipping etc. 
Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city
dweller gave you good suggestions--pro musica in particular is a good store. if you get a chance, i'd also check out john at van l speakerworks (whose store is in norridge, about 8 miles west of wrigley field)--he's a trip. 
Looks for Headphone Tube Amp
i got an aune t1 tube headphone amp on ebay for around a hundo and really like it 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Wire...chairs missing..top that 
Tandberg 3001, 3002, 3003
if you look at sales on completed ebay, there's a lot of demand for those pieces--the tuner seems to get around a grand. i've always liked that old tandberg gear--it's unreliable but looks and sounds great 
Best music in 2020
+1 slaw. Oh Harvey rules and stories is a great record. Apropos of nothing, I heard a Beatles b side today, I'll get you, and deem it their finest composition. 
Replacement Remote Control For Cary SLP 05 Preamp
you can get a used harmony 650 for >$30 and add the cary in less than a minute + use it for all your other components, program macros, etc. one of my favorite toys. 
Very small, warm and dynamic speakers
rega rs6--impervious to placement 
LG Electronics will stop making cell phones with DAC 'S built in!!!!!!
if you're an audiophile in the us, the quad-dac equipped lg phones have been the way to go, esp. since almost everyone else has ditched the headphone jack. i agree they're not the most reliable--i've had to send two of mine in for warranty repairs... 
Should I sell my Oppo 205?
i'd keep it. i think it's a vg cdp,  certainly competitive with others in the $1k range; the fact that it plays movies is a plus, even if you infrequently do so + it can stream and many people like using it as a preaamp. as a dac, i'm sure you can... 
Yamaha A-S801
according to ebay sales, used a-s801s sold for $600-$725. if you're selling on agon, i'd list yours towards the higher end and give buyers a little margin to bargain. 
Fix for B&K Component Reference 20
+1 bdgregory--you can get another ref 20 for around $200 on ebay. i owned one briefly and it was fine as a stereo preamp, though it's a 20+ years old and it's dsp modes are outdated, so i'd move on. 
Shopping For A CD Transport
i bought a pioneer dvd v7400 for $60 on ebay--it's around 8" wide and built like a tank--it's a very good transport
