Does "full range" really mean anything?
Thanks for all the responses. I do find it ironic that most people who post ads and pay attention to these audiophile chats use the phrase "full range" for speakers that deliver high frequencies I can't hear anyway but do not deliver low frequenci... 
Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?
So, just to sum up: it appears that there are no turntables with auto-lift out there, new or used, that will outperform my TD-320. Do I have that right? Thanks for the posts. 
Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?
Thanks. Does anyone else have experience with the Expressimo? If it's easy for an all thumbs person to install correctly, I'd consider it -- I'm just not able to solder, drill or do anything generally that would make me a useful person to have aro... 
Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?
Thanks, Ed. My experience with the Thorens TD-320 has been quite good. There may be sonic compromises involved in having the auto-lift and shut mechanisms, but I don't think I can hear them. or, since I haven't a/b'ed the table with a good, purely...

Suggestions for a new CD player.
I recently bought a NAD c541i for about $400 - it sounded great. Then as I was doing some research I realized that the AMC CD-8b uses the same DAC (dual 96khz/24-bit Burr-Brown), while using a comparable (or better) Sony transport. (Actually, many... 
Phono stage in vintage Marantz?
As I say in the previous post, I have a Thorens TD-320 with new Ortofon Super OM 20. Thanks. 
Phono stage in vintage Marantz?
Thanks. I'm wondering if you've actually used or heard the 2325's phono output? I have a Thorens TD-320 with a new Ortofon Super OM 20 cartridge and the turntable/cartridge sales guy is the one who cautioned me against the Marantz -- actually, he ...
