| cd/dvd repair ot trash Pull the transport out and see if you can locate one on ebay or amazon. They use a PC CD/DVD rom drive in the 800. I don't know if they modify it in any special way, but its definitely worth taking a chance even if it doesn't work. | |
| Problem with CJ Phono Pre and Dynavector MKIIXX2 "Next??? apparently the CJ will work well with a moving magnet--but not with the latest moving coil. Not sure which of the two items I can more readily sell on the market, and or if there is other solution?? Ideas welcome."Correct in that your pho... | |

| Top brand speakers Mrc's right. We were just having a bit of fun. (at least I was). Your first post looks like a classic question designed just to get people arguing. After reading your 2nd post, that's obviously not the case. I can't tell you what the best is, buy ... | |
