    Does look nice, doubt it will be a "bargain" though with the early interest on it already
    Hi Alex,
    Just out of interest, did it go at a bargain price?
    Cheers,
    DaveK.

    My System:
    Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
    Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
    Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).
    Speakers: Mission 774s with added super tweeters
    Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.

    Cheers,
    Not exactly a bargain, but a very very good buy for someone - but it went for more than I was prepared to pay for it, given that I have no need of it other than I've always liked Pioneer Stable Platter CD players - £86.13 including delivery - pretty reasonable, all things considered. I would have gone for it had I not spent quite a lot this month on my new Beresford Caiman, new Creek amp, all the associated cables... loads mored CD's - and It's all you lot's fault, leading me astray!

    i've got one, improved with the solid aluminum top panel,
    solid steel transformer foot, and resin-filled isolator feet
