I’m still banned from buying from them, 3 years later, lol. Their loss, certainly not mine. I wouldn’t buy a toothpick from that jerk owner.   
HiFi audio Fuse on a CD Transport
Wasting your money, you can’t really hear the transport. Why not buy one of those $400 fuses and see?   Doesn’t Synergetic offer a return if you don’t like or can’t hear a difference?  
What's up with the verification?
@lalitk,    I am running Windows 11 and use the Microsoft Edge browser that comes wit it. I also use Windows Defender anti-virus and Malwarebytes.  I am already using the latest and greatest version of Microsoft Edge.  I really don’t want another ... 
Are there any more good multi format disc players out there?
I own an Esoteric UX-3 universal player which also plays DVD audio.  They come up here from time to time for a couple of thousand.  
Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume?
since my wife and I each own a Hyundai, I would say......NO.  
A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
I also wouldn’t blow 10K on power cords and conditioners in this early stage of your system. If you have a desire to upgrade your speakers, I would do that first. Once you find speakers you like, I would then look for a good quality integrated amp... 
CD Player issue?

Best amp to pair with new JBL L-100 speakers
I run mine with a McIntosh MA6600 200wpc integrated and an SVS SB2000 sub. I love the combo!  
CD Player issue?
The laser needs to be glued back in!   I had the same problem with my Pioneer PD65. Fitting it back in without glueing is going to cause it to vibrate and fall out again.   
Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000
Since when is a $750,000.00 speaker a million dollars?  Is it that new Common Core math?  
Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!
Monitor Audio has been around for well over 50 years, Tekton has not.  Monitor Audio designs it’s own drivers, Tekton does not. Monitor Audio has a group of designers and engineers, Tekton does not. Monitor Audio is a large corporation with $$$ fo...

I passed on the C2600 because it did not have a tape loop.  The C2500 I bought is the last of the series to offer the tape loop.    
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
What do you guys consider high efficiency or low efficiency?   MY main speakers are rated at 93.5db efficient and my office speakers are rated at 88db.

@roxy54  oops, glad you explained, makes me feel much better.  
Would you spend you money on modest brand new car or rather buy top notch vintage one?
I would always buy new. Vintage can mean lots of problems and lots of money to repair.  Besides, vintage is thrown around way too easily here.
