Hello,

I looking at a new system and am thinking of the Yamaha A-S500 or A-S300, the latter has not been reviewed though spec wise it is in the same ball park as the 500 and only misses out on a little power and the Record Out control (that enables one source to be recording while another is listened to) which may mean even purer electronics.

I have also been looking at Yamaha for the CD player, partly because they look fantastic - and I will admit that aesthetics is important - as well as their undoubted musical prowess. This would 1 x CD-S700 or perhaps 2 x CD-S300 (I currently have two early 90's Technics and it is great to be able to cue up one CD while another is playing).

However I am tempted by SACD and the Sony SCD-XE800 seems a lot of spec for the money though again I cant find a review.

Any thoughts?

BTW I will initially run with my old faithful Mordaunt Short MS35Tis though will probably look at something like the same manufacturer's Avant 902is or perhaps stretch to Monitor Audio Bronze BX2s

With thanks.
