    What goes with an M-80?

    I actually sought out the C-80 because of its inverted outputs, I just have not seen that feature on a whole lot of pre-amps. I have two M-80s that are normally driving a 4 channel surround system. On special occasions, I will hook them up as monoblocks with the C-80 to run a pair of Gen 1...

    What goes with an M-80?

    The M-80 has the class A, and the C-80 has the parametric eq and the inverted outputs, which I feel are a little unusual. Does the tuner do anything "special"?

    What goes with an M-80?

    I've got an M-80, a C-80 control amp, and I just saw that they made a T-80 tuner. Where can I find out what else was in this line? Thanks

    Puget Sound Recommendations for Glue Removal

    Thanks for the replies. I reached out to Rain City a couple years ago, but they had a large backlog and it looks like they have scaled back their operations pretty considerably. I will see what @blhagstrom thinks.

    Puget Sound Recommendations for Glue Removal

    I have two Yamaha M-80s that are in good working order, but need to have the infamous glue removed and affected components replaced. Does anyone know of someone in the Puget Sound area that can do that kind of thing?

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    The Phase Linear is silver faced, but so far, I think people are most interested just in the fact that I can play physical media and that I am not just streaming through some Bluetooth speaker. I don't doubt having a nice set of silver faced components would spice things up a bit though.

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    I got the Rega Planet 2000, and I am pretty happy with it. Its interesting looking enough, and its fun having a reason to bring out old CDs. I have not tried running it through a different DAC yet, and I may not as it sounds really nice to me as it is, and I probably don't need to add any more...

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    Thanks, Dave. I have mostly used toslink connections from Chromecast Audios into better DACs (that makes a huge, huge difference), so I have never tried a digital coax. I will be sure to give it a shot!

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions! I ended up finding a Rega Planet 2000 locally. It got pretty good reviews and has an optical out in case I want to use an external DAC. Still waiting to get my hands on it, but I will let you know what I think of it when its in the system.

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    Does anyone have any experience with a Rega Planet CD player? It looks like that might be what I am looking for. I've read some interesting reviews about the suspension feet leaving marks on whatever they are placed on though, which seems odd. It also looks like ebay is rife with replacement...

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    I think I am starting to gravitate towards single disc, top-loading players. That is a good thought on the laser.

    'Cool' vintage CD player/transport?

    Probably $300 tops. Thanks for all the suggestions. My thought is to find one that I am interested in and then wait for it to pop up on ebay or craigslist. The Harman Kardon is definitely a fun looking player.
