DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS?
I have seen used Marantz 8005 players on here for under 800.00. 
Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5
Why not purchase a Triton series speaker with the built in powered subwoofers?  The 3+ comes to mind.  It is the best way to do it as the bass to treble is seamless. 
Audible Illusions Upgrade Opportunity
Yes, it is well worth it.  The L3A is similar to the Modulus 3B which was night and day better than the Modulus 3A.  If you do the deal, make sure Art has the L3A in stock to ship so you won't have to wait months or yerars for

I bought my McIntosh MC152 150wpc amp  for $2900.00 used.  It is still a current piece in their line.  That isn't much more expensive than the  Kismet amp. 
New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Don't forget, it isn't just the sum of all the parts in the amp, you also pay dearly for the R & D that went into it as well.

Give me some kind of paper woofer and a silk dome tweeter any day.

We give up perspective to avoid tone controls
Tone controls is what drew me to McIntosh.  I am much happier now that I am able to make some of the unlistenable Rock CD's listenable again by using a light hand on the tone controls.  For those that do not have them, you are seriously missing out.

I think the amp is quite impressive and he will probably sell 50-100 of them.  There is a lot of money overseas which is where most of them probably are going.  The amplifier puts out 400 amps!!    Good for Dan.   I hope he makes millions from it ...

@dishman442...……………………….I used the Stratos Extreme from 2010 to 2017.  I am very sorry I sold it.   Stupidly, I thought I needed more power for the new speakers I purchased last Summer, so I sold the amp and bought a Conrad-Johnson MF2550 250wpc a... 
To VPI TT users, please provide your experience
I believe the black belt goes for around $30.00 and can be purchased from Music Direct.

I am buying  mine strictly for playing Blu-Ray discs.  I have an Esoteric SACD player already in my system.  It's probably overkill for just playing Blu-Ray, especially since it will be playing through a Zvox.
