wanting to take a digital step
 @charles1dad  Ya... at $5000 I'd say it is way off mentioning in this thread. Makes one think, is there an alterior motive for mentioning it with a link to promote and sell it?  
I can't believe this.
Warranty work/claims are not like other services like shipping or airline seat selection. Both those are services you go into knowing there is a fee schedule,,, it will not be free. Warranty work is included and advertised as part of the product y...

What now?
Well, the piano being a "compact electronic" keyboard is now not anywhere near as worry as we may have thought. Capacitors and silicon don't vibrate and resonate like piano wires.

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
"The Undertones" debut album from 1978. Power Pop / Post Punk group that really was very good, still is. Lots of catchy stuff here.  
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

CD Transport Question
+1 (2, 3 or 4 or wherever we are at) the AudioLab 6000CDT. A true transport with just digital out, no built-in DAC. They concentrated on the power supply and delivery. And as far as the slot loading mech scratching disks? That's just nit-pickers ... 
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Dual SVS SB1000 pro subs. Replaced a single Velodyne CT-100.  
Direct Drive
