Jack -It's good to hear that you're enjoying your new player. :-) It really is a satisfying machine. After it breaks in, you'll find that you are just listening to your music. Not pondering your machine. Very satisfying. :-)I'll be without mine un...

The Tube Audio Designs, TAD-150 is nice. Between 600 - 800 new! I tried one before I bought my FS. It really is great bang for the buck. Paul at Bizzy Bee offers money back (minus shipping) if you don't like it. At least he used to.good luck
