marantz sa8260 or sa14?
The 8260is highly suseptible to read problems. If reliability is important, this unit merits a pass. 
Anybody familiar with the Tandberg TD 310 Cassette
Actually back in the late 70`s, this was a very good deck- a step below the Naki but probably close in SQ. If I wanted it & KNEW it was in good shape, I wouldn`t hesitate.

Review: Phase Linear 700b Amplifier
All phase Linears ran hot. I sold these amps in the early 70`s. Put a fan on it, & it`ll drive low efficiency 4 ohm spkrs. all day & night long. Might, & I`ll hedge here, even deal with 2 ohm dips that aren`t that common.

$ave the $ for room treatment or new spkrs. 
McIntosh
By & large, Mc owners tend to be too conservative to mod. 
What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax?
Wax on, wax off.

McIntosh MCD 201/ spec info
If you can`t get it by downloading the owners manual, where do you expect anyone to get it? Listen to Big Joe, & drop a dime.
