| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue A decent back up amp is a must.I'm glad you have one. I found that I had way too many pieces of equipment lying around and I sold my second Mark Levinson 23.5 and also my Mark Levinson ML3. I really didn't want to sell the ML3 at all. What a gr... | |

| Pioneer Elite DV-79avi -- Rotel cd14 -- Rotel Rcd-1572 The Pioneer Elite DV-79avi is a very nice CD player. The internal DACS are very nice indeed.This would make a very nice CD player and transport later if you acquire a separate DAC.I would also recommend the BD-O9 as both a CD player and as a tran... | |
