PSB Synchrony line discontinued??
I was afraid somebody would say that.I got the Proacs (from Arnie of Accutronics of Ann Arbor before he founded Audiogon) because they sounded great and mated very well with the Cary. (I understand Deja Vu of Maclean still demos their 300Bs with n... 
Meridian, Ayre, Musical Fidelity, Ayon, Lector $2k
Everything I've heard and read tells me that the Ayre, Esoteric, ARC, and Marantz are all truly excellent units.But is there a reason the Bryston BCD-1 isn't on anyone's lists? In my experience, it's one of the most accurate and neutral players ar...

Moderate floorstanders for medium room
Spendor S8e, used. There's a pair on the 'gon right now. Will work well with the power you have on tap. Floor standers, two-way, good imaging, better bass than monitors... What's not to like?

Fedex minimum insurance for special handling

Bryston BCD-1 
New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement?

Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player

ps audio perfect wave transport

ps audio perfect wave transport
Wpines--looks like you might be on to something. Just checked the Music Direct website: projected price has jumped up from the 2K reported by RH to 3K, and availability has jumped back from February to April/May. Hmmmmm.
