Bought on C.L for $50. He was asking $35. I couldn't do the absolute wrong thing so I gave him all of the cash in my wallet,($51)US.

After I brought it home, I plugged it in and it worked like a charm.(remote too) I have a ton of SACD's so I put one in, (Dark Side by Pink Floyd) and I couldn't believe my ears! It sounded 100x better than my Oppo that took a dive on me a month ago. I paid over $700 for the Oppo and it lasted only 3 yrs. I can only hope that this last a lot longer as the sound is STUPENDISLY real. Only one problem, it's a Sony:(,,

I hate Sony but this thing is built like a tank! The bottom of it is solid brass and the thing weighs about 25Lbs. One other thing, the cord is a 3 prong and is super heavy duty. My Oppo was built like a Mexican's messed up bicycle, cheap and ugly!

If you see one of these on C.L. or a yard sale, GET IT!!!! You will not be sorry!

P.S. Even the little crystal thing in the middle lights up blue as to tell you that it's ready to ROCK! & rock it does. BoBoBoski. Austin Tx.
