I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos
"Anyway, the Enzo was created years ago and has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with the Double Impact of today so everyone can rest easy. The DI’s absolutely slaughter the original Enzo! I created the original Enzo for one reason only... a viable alternati... 
How will I know when a Krell KSA-80b needs to be recapped?
I'm pretty sure the KSA-80b is more than 14 years old. It's probably closer to 25-30 years old.

The op was asking about a CD player. He wasn't asking about a DAC.

Marantz and Stereophile?
Wasn't able to edit in time. "anyway near its price range" should read "anywhere near its price range". 
Marantz and Stereophile?
TAS reviewed the PM11s3 and the SA11s3. Stereophile reviewed the KI Pearl Reference amp and an earlier model Reference power amp. All four pieces received very positive reviews. Marantz Reference gear can hold its own with anything anyway near its...
