If not an Oppo 205 then what?
+1 @edlchiang62 - The website shows potential availability this June.  
Talon Khorus
Okay I will say that I heard them at an audio show in NYC a few years back and I thought they sounded pretty good. I'm not sure what version I heard, I understand that there were actually a few versions with changes made in the crossover over the ... 
Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7
While I am by no means an expert but you may want to be looking for a Dac or Pre-amp/Dac that supports apple airplay giving you the ability to wirelessly stream to it. 
Vintage automatic turntable recommendations?
I remember my old turntable in the 70's was an automatic, it was a Pioneer PL516 if I remember correctly. But there are a lot of automatic Pioneer's around. It had an automatic return. I do remember one that was fully automatic but can't remember ... 
Really satisfied???
+1 @jmcgrogan2 - That is sooo correct!

Pioneer 150's
I know the 150's are higher up in the food chain but I have a pair of HPM 40's I bought in 1979 or so. I kept them all of these years more out of nostalgia than anything. I hooked them up not too long ago and can tell you it was pretty disappointi... 
Need Tonearm help for a Thorens TD124 Mark II
Thanks all. Yes the turntable and tonearm really are NOS in the box, I actually have a NOS TD160 in the box too. I found them and accumulated them over the years trying to feed this audiophile addiction. I appreciate the comments. I did consider p...

I have an Ortofon plinth and armboard for the table and have an Allnic 1201 for a phono preamp. I've had them for a while now, just been collecting over the years.   
California Audio Technology
Try placing an ad on here, USAudioMart, AudioAsylum and Ebay, to name a few. You will need to have some patience as they will not be in high demand (I don't think) but if priced right and you proof-read your ad (You are looking to sell them, not s... 
Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic)
Giving You a bump, I would be interested to hear what the problem is. 
Best option for Amp upgrade...
While I haven't heard it, the first thing that went through my head was a CJ Premier 350 which could be had for a few bucks less but which might be a great match-up to your CJ pre. I'm sure others will know whether that combo would work. 
Wilson Watch Dog or JL
We have some of the same brands. While I haven't heard the Wilson sub, I can tell you that my dual JL Audio F112's mate seemlessly and are a great match with my Sophia 2's and Mac MC501's.  
The longest you have owned any gear?
I'm at 38 years with my first pair of speakers, Pioneer HPM 40's.  
What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?
@vegasears That is a great preamp. As far as the amps go, there is great synergy with McIntosh amps and preamps, they are made to go together. Some will disagree saying the amps are great but not the other components, I disagree when talking about...
