B & K reference 50
It has been my experience that the people that own equipment like it or don't admit it if they don't. And, if they don't like it they usually want to sell it. And therefore don't want to tell anyone that may be a potential buyer that something the... 
Good, Inexpensive Sources for CD's
www.deepdiscountcd.com is probably the cheepest and has free shipping. www.cduniverse.com has more inventory but costs a little more. www.artist-shop.com has a wide variety and lots of progressive and fusion. 
Moving to UK, what to do?
Pack.... You can get a voltage converter for most items. But, motorized equipment such as turntables with AC motors will run at the wrong speed because of the 50HZ frequency. If you can get a frequency control device such as the one VPI makes for ... 
Best progressive acts these days?
The Strawbs are still around as well as Caravan. 
Rotel RSX 1055 RR 1050 : OSD not working
Are you using the progressive scan inputs on the TV for the DVD player? if so the processor's on screen display will not work in most cases. You will have to use the input that the processor's composite outputs are connected to on the TV. 
What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow
I'm not sure about the compliance or not. It was a store demo that I got from a friend. I'll listen to the Shure again soon as I will be installing one in a customer's system. I usually have one of my own but I sold it to a customer that needed it...

Make sure your TV is on the correct input. 
What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow
I will listen to the V15 again and keep one in my system. As for my equipment, I mentioned it only because of Dopo or Doper or whatever his name is wanted to imply that it was inferior, to which it is compared to some stuff out there. But it is ve...

I use an SME sourced Oracle 345 arm and a Micro Seiki 1500 with vacuum platter and air bearing, a Linn Sondek, a Technics SP 10MK-11 and MK-111 and Teac TN-400 pro TT with magnafloat platter. I have various tonearms including a Linn, a Grace 707, ... 
How badly does price drop for RIP manufacturer?
Sansui is still in business although they keep a low profile in the US. There used classic products are still well thought of and garner respectible resell prices. Since Platinum went out of business it has become difficult to find replacement par... 
What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow
I can't believe anyone would prefer an MM over a good low output MC. Of course you must have a phono stage capable of driving a low output cartridge but there is no comparison. My Madrigal Carnegie is very old but simply makes the Shure V15 sound ... 
What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow
I sell the Shure cartridge and own a V15 and it is a fine cartridge but, it sounds mechanical compared to the old Carnegie moving coil that I use for most of my listening. 
Bass Question - should LP range be so different?
LPs have the bass rolled off and the highs extended so all the musical content can be placed on a 33.3RPM record. The RIAA EQ curve that is built in to a phono preamp restores the bass and reduces the treble to normal. LPs can and often do sound b... 
You used to love it but now.......................
Sorry, I meant Rubycon by Tangerine Dream in response to Duanegoosen's thread. 
Krell KSA 200B and Musical fidelity F22????
You could get a meter and check for DC leakage from the preamp before connecting it to the amp. You should only need the coupling capacitors if there is any leakage.
