| The best var. out CD player for under 1500 used? 1741,I've heard the latest 24/192 Uther with a Camelot Morganna as transport and a Genesis Digital Lens between. Very nice digital rig!

| Please help: Do I need a preamp? Macallan,Why is a good pre-amp "Always a good asset in any system"? I have run my system CD direct for several years now, using several different CD players that have variable output. I think it sounds fantastic.Last weekend I took my Quad 99 CD-P... | |

| old components for new small system Sure you can use them. I'll bet your existing components (if working properly) are better than what you can get for $1500 considering much of that will be dedicated to speakers.You could get a pair of Green Mountain Europa monitors for about $550-... | |

| Marantz dv-8400 as an audio-only player Bailey,If you are only using the Marantz as a redbook CD transport, I would think you would be better off selling it and purchasing a dedicated CD player or dedicated CD transport. There are lots of great CD players or transports available for wel... |
