    Larry started a thread on his new baby with pics. It's GORGEOUS. And green!

    For me: CDP and DAC.

    I would not go for the folded motion tweeters with the stats,I thought about this too but whats the point as you loose the magic of the logans.ML source are going for 675 shipped these days

    Cheapest center your gona get is a cinema for 675

    I am looking for a good deal on some vista but after I buy a HT prepro and so for my best option is a $1500 marantz that I am trying not to pull the trigger on until I can compare it to an integra 80.1

    Have you checked out the Dared sl2000 yet? I just bought one, and is still breaking in. So far, it's pretty good. Once I get in the NOS tubes from Heiney9 for it (and I get another amp, cause I just sold mine)...I'll be able to see how it compares to my Cary.

    Not enough inputs as I still listen to cassettes. So I have been looking for used/vintage.

    Just pre-ordered the Oppo BDP-93 from Amazon. Looking forward to it's arrival but it will be an all day wire management situation when I totally rearrange the entertainment center area.

    Nothing, really....

    I've always got my eye out for the old Onkyo Integra amps and Denon Monoblocks, though. But i'm not hunting. Could use a DAC, but haven't really looked in awhile. I'm actually happy with my setup, and haven't really bought anything in a year now.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    I hit enter before adding that I'm still in the hunt for the BDP-83 or 83SE if the right price comes up for me and if I can cancel the 93 since I don't need the networking finction.

    I'm always on the lookout for some 15 foot Audioquest cables to go up the chain from my Type 4's. Also, if a nice tube pre with HT bypass and balance control comes up I might jump on it... something like a CJ PV-14 mark II.
