Not sure what the line means. Do you see a line through my username when I log out? Also, there's little info, including "last seen".

Only if you physically log out of your account, which you don't. If you just exit the site you are still logged in but not online.

I'd call the QA3030i 'easy listening' regardless of music played through them. I think an upgrade will be required.

I think an upgrade of your amp will be an upgrade of your speakers automatically, I'm not sure what screw in stands are, but while I'm spending your money the Dali rubicon 5's are selling in the UK for 2K atm, I think thats the best option, the footprint is no larger than stand mounts and you dont have to pay for stands.

Just seen this. Really like Exposure CDP but the age of this model and whether the price justifies the minimal usage, it's making me hesitate.

Exposure 3010 CD player, silver, remote, working perfectly, original packaging | eBay

Here's an Exposure 3010 CD player. My contract with DPD is for a 'signed for' service.If you override this and ask for an item to be left in a safe place then I will NOT be held responsible for any item that is stolen.

I understand where you're coming from because I actually bought a vintage CD player. I think I'm right when I say the Exposure CDP is from around 2003. That's 3 years younger than my 1998 units.
I bought a Rotel RDD-980 CD transport and the matching DAC, a Rotel RDP-980.
I have been immensely impressed with both units. I had to renew the drive wheel on the CD tray but apart from that simple inexpensive repair everything is great. The inside of the CP transport is really well laid out with minimum cabling and good quality components. Two separate power supplies, one for the CD drive components and one for the audio electronics.
New these would have cost around 1,500 US dollars.
I paid a total of €110 for these units. Not only did I get a bargain but I also got the best sound from a CD I have heard.
The price of £495 seems like lots of money for the Exposure CD player which isn't that well known. You're also presuming that this unit hasn't been repaired with inferior components.
I just think that £495 buys a good new CD player or you could save your money and wait for the bargain to come along like I did.

Exposure is quite well-known, and well respected, but in the UK there are just a handful of dealers.

If CDs were my main format I would spend closer to 1k, but a new sub-£500 players will struggle to better my current Exposure 2010.

My first CDP was a Rotel RCD 975, great sounding for the price but had fragile transport and lasers.
