If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Why would anyone want a Transport where the parts used to make it are now discontinued and no longer available? Before investing in one make sure that there are still replacement parts. Im told your SOL with the CDT-2. 
Orchid vs TUBADOUR III - Help me choose
If you go for the Tubadour get ALL the upgrades. Will run you about $2200. My friend LOVES his and he has about $100,000 worth of equipment so money isnt an issue. 
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
You can definitely use Shindo/Audio Note amps with O'96s. Obviously they would work better with Avante Garde or other 100+db speakers BUT don't let anybody tell you they simply wont work well. The West Coast Shindo dealer has the O'96's as one of ... 
Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
On my vintage system I use JBL 166's and JBL 4312A's in tandem. What the 4312A lack (Highs) the 166's have in spades and likewise the Midrange of the 4312 make up for what the 166 is short on.  Its a match made in heaven for 70's Classic Rock. Hav...

Actually it was a veiled threat and there is no place for that on Audiogon. You should be banished permanently

Old Bridge is in the Sticks? Population 70,000 with Route 9 (Born To Run), Route 18, Exit 11 on the Turnpike. Ever hear of RACEWAY PARK (Probably not). Talk about getting facts straight. LOL 
Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
There was just a SA-10 on Audiogon a few days ago for less than $3000. Probably went for 2500-2700. I have the DX-5 which is a "glorified" Oppo 83. For the approx.3K- 4K you have to spend on a DX-5 the less than 3K SA-10 is a screaming bargain if ...

A.T.Im from New Jersey Einstein.  Only reason values are high in Jersey City is because of NYC being so close by. If you put lipstick on a pig its still a pig and thats Jersey City...And Newark/Elizabeth...one big toxic waste dump. I bet you don't...

A.T.  didnt even know the name of AVANTE GARDE in his initial post about AXPONA. Probably the first dealer I have run across that never heard of them. Then again...anybody that would set up shop in Jersey City which is the armpit of NJ obviously h... 
why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now?
I know a few people that went from Gryphon 300 to either the Luxman 509 or 590 Models because they are warmer sounding. Some find the Gryphon to be Neutral to Dark sounding. Its all a matter of taste as always.
