Pops - check out the Crutchfield site for the new 555 sacd player - 5 disc multi-channel with bass management - some details provided but I would suggest Oade Bros. for what maybe the cheapest price... 
Where will be hi-end audio in 2050?
I don't think I'll much care by that point as hopefully I'll be 90 by then and no doubt my hearing will be shot and maybe I'll be in a "home" for old audiophiles. I'll probably take more time to wheel myself to the park where I'll enjoy live summe... 
Tube preamp for Bryston 7B-ST

Amp Shoot Out
Dollar for dollar the 4B-ST is a hard act to follow based on build quality, bass slam and the best transferable warranty in the biz. At around $1500 used its a buy! The other amps are wonderful products that bring various assests to the table but ...

My 4B-ST get really warm to the touch especially after a long period running my 4ohm speakers and not a tear splitting decibels. Music transients, speaker impedences and amp location (in a cabinet) are just a few variables to take into considerati...
