    I was drooling over that Marantz just last night. I need a better SACD Player, but have no Idea what I should get.

    I think I'll give up all this buying and selling someday and just get a Musical Fidelity KW250S. . .

    Hopefully they'll come out with another all in one wonder with SACD sometime soon :)

    In just about 2.5 years of this hobby, I have gear that's WAY nicer than I ever thought I'd have so I very well may achieve (and possibly surpass) my new DREAM GEAR soon enough.

    Anything made by Blue Circle.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I'd like a set of CJ Premier 12's and a premier 16 preamp.

    Perhaps the Caliburn Continum (sp) turntable

    A set of the big Manley amps would be nice as well....

    At some point I'd like a pair of B&W 802D

    That said, I'm quite content with what I have.

    A nice Nelson Pass amp/pre amp combination. Just not ready to spend $10K for two pieces.

    Right now I'll settle for an Aleph 30 and perhaps the NP designed Adcom GFP-750 pre. That's a little less than $2K, bought right.

    I'd also like to pull the trigger on some nice high end cables like MIT or similar something in the $500-1000/pr. range.

    A house with a properly designed and appointed listening room; a dedicated 2ch room.

    MHardy, I owned a Dragon and it's well worth lusting after. :p

    Marantz 8B
    Marantz 10B
    McIntosh MC-225 or MC-275

    Ditto those Mark and add the Marantz Model 7 preamp. I think a system with the Model 7, 8Bs and 10B would be fabulous. The price for a system with those components alone would be somewhere around $10K for quality items and that doesn't include speakers. I'd like to hear that setup with some Monitor 7's or SDA-2's. Add a nice CD and/or vinyl player and it would be like heaven.
