Ahhhhh, yes, Tricky.... if only I'd grabbed Tricky instead of Eric! That would be another friendship to rediscover. I really must work out how the streamer works. My pilgramage seems to be coming to an end. 'Jon' is actually real. Luckily I haven't bumped into him since 1991. OK busb, you have...

So, this has been interesting. The Arcam is installed, and the CD sounds (to my ears), flawless. But then, I am relatively easily pleased as I have little comparison. The interesting bit has been that I only packed six CDs in my baggage, (literally scooped a handful from the box of CDs back...

Thanks Vladimir, thanks Thorntonsub. Yes, I have just been reading about the build on the Audiolab, especially the very tightly fitting CD tray, and CD's getting trapped/scratched. Anyway, I have put a deposit down on the Arcam FMJ CDS27. Am very pleased with this in the end, as (aside from...

Thanks Vladimir. You really are the oracle on all things HiFi. Can't order stuff there though. Its very intense and back and gold, and non responsive. I want that little British lead...

Malheureusement le lecteur a été vendu tis gone.... but he is offering me a MARANTZ SA8005 for €949 ....

Amazing Vladimir. Your Googlie skills border on the Messianic. Thanks. Message duly sent in bad French.*dirol* Let's wait and see. :) Pyramus

Just did me a signature.... testing....

Hmmmm... ponder, ponder.... slick device as per Ajani and Vladimir (ARCam not ARScun :) or Onkyo or Yamaha) that CDs and Streams and USBs and does a mean Frappacino.... CnoEvil's Linn, or the Thompsonsub CD player? I see myself with the 'candy shop' glaze in my eyes as I look at all these...

'Word' Tonky. Unfortunately my Internet is rubbish.

Thanks chebby. Makes sense. Imagine if they had been students at Wolverhampton Poly. ARWolf. *biggrin*

Thanks again... it's all helpful. Gosh and darn it! Svenoaks have run out of their 8200CD, and the next best I can find is £599. But wait... What is this arcane piece of strangeness... ? Streaming and CD player??? Arcam, as in Acoustic Research Cambridge? (Why is everyone getting in on the...

Very different. The Sevenoaks thing is an 8300CD, not an 8200CD. I am seeing the latter going for 500 GBP at Superfi. This is Euro 690. Way cheaper than on 'Ze Kontinent'. Wondering if I order it from the UK will they be able to give me the right mains cable? Does the voltage work?

@Thompsonsub... Aha! Audiolab 8200CD. Had a quick look, this one in Austira is reduced, but I have could it be they are a bit little more economically priced on 'Ze Kontinent" http://www.hificonsult.at/HIFI-STEREO/CD-Player/Audiolab-8200-CD-V12E-Silber::3225.html This UK dealer has if for a...

??? Really? Your explanation makes eminent sense to me, but it also sounds quite shocking. By that rationale, I can get this fella off Amazon for Euro 70.00 Sony CDP-XE220/B CD-Player and spend more serious money on the DAC (when the time comes). Brilliant! Then, I could get something like...

Hmmmm... Ajani. An interesting proposition.
