earlier, i said *count me out* when it came to c/w, w/the exception of lyle lovett. but reading what others tink passes for country here, i guess i'm having second thoughts... ;~) 
Tandberg 3001 and 3001A
tanks, cornfedboy, i guess i don't have to get my brother-in-law to bring over his 3001 to a-b w/my onix/soap, now... ;~)

Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
cornfedboy, the only way i'm gonna replace my $500 nad cd-changer is if it breaks. if/when a new format emerges w/software awailable like current redbook cd's, then isle consider an upgrade. i tried cd-players up to $3k that offered no improvement... 
BEST SPEAKER TO MATCH..
rox, if ya like yer boyfriends' rig, stay away from the vandy's - yule miss the transparency, soundstage & detail of the proacs. better to find a used pair of proac 1.5's, or something more along those lines, regarding accuracy & detail. m... 
Sub-sat system the ultimate compromise ?
i tink the sub-sat arrangement *is* the way-to-go - yust ask many designers of cost-no-object speaker-systems, which are in-fact sub-sat designs.i have good results using a pair of vmps larger subs & a marchand deluxe version of their xm-9 x-o...

opinions- Dynavector DV501 Tonearm
i always thought the 501 was a the 1st iteration, the 505 the second, the 507 the toid. they have a www that gives good info on these arms. i've heard they're excellent, tho no 1st-hand experience. i was strongly considering one for my oracle prio... 
Tandberg 3001 and 3001A
i've heard both tunas, but not in direct a-b comparison. that said, i tink i'd choose the tandberg for sound. these can be wery spendy to keep maintained, tho - assume the presets will get stuck & need a few hundred-dollard-worth to make right...
