Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
Both the Audiolab 6000cdt and the Cambridge audio transport are gapless  
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
It’s funny, Fables of the Reconstruction was the one that I started listening to when I was first starting to listen to them again.  Now I’m listening to all IRS era albums.  IMO they are all great.  I’m in a cover band and we play The One I Love ... 
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
@dz13 that was an excellent wrap up.  To the OP I have read through this entire thread with interest because I have been wondering the same thing about REM.  REM were relevant and the critics darlings, with a few missteps, all the way up through N... 
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
Thanks so much for the helpful information, and letting me know I’m not annoying.  😀. I was a bit intimidated by posting on this site because I’m really not educated well as an “audiophile.”  I have had a solid two channel stereo system since I fi...

Thanks for the info.  I’m really leaning towards the Denon now.  
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
No, I don’t really know where to look for one.  
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
Thanks so much for your response.  I don’t think my current CD player has an eject button on the remote so I can live with that. 🙂  
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
Thanks for the response.  I do have one last question.  I’ve also found a Yamaha CD S1000 for around the same price.  I’ve seen a lot of good reviews about Yamaha but I am tending towards the Denon.  
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
I just found a Denon DCD-1600NE Super Audio CD Player on close out for $999, originally $1499.  I’m thinking it is likely a better bet than the Arcam.

It’s to bad, I had my eye on a used xa5400es at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle.  I’m across the state from them but know they are a trustworthy dealer.  Anyway it’s gone as of earlier this week.   i have a Marantz PM8006 integrated amp with Wharfed...

Very interesting.  Thanks for posting!  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
Thanks, good to know.  I was leaning towards staying with my Technics.  To tell you the truth I haven’t had a single issue with it since I had it totally refurbished.  Actually I didn’t really have an issue before that either.  I’m just always loo... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
Thanks.  You’re not making my decision any easier.  😀. The 50th anniversary edition comes with the top of the line Rega mm cartridge and the Neo PSU MK2 Power Supply and it has a faux wood plinth which I think looks great.  It seems like it’s esse... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
That’s good to know.  I moved to my Technics from an entry level pro-ject.  I prefer the Technics and direct drive in general to my old Pro-Ject, but I’ve wondered about trying a more high end belt driven turntable.  Thanks  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
Thanks a lot.  That does help.  I’m always trying to learn.  I’ll look into audiomods.   Thanks — Matt
