Tassie,

I agree, it is unwise to sell the 5 series just for the G series. It doesnt give me what I ultimatly want, upgradability. G doesnt offer that and I cant afford the 800 series.

Tell me more about your freinds Marantz? I hear there are all sorts of mods for lots of players??

George,

You are right, I am all over the place, only because I have a 10% deposit down from the buyer of my M stuff and dont have time to really think it out. But like I said above, the G series isnt upgradeable and that is #1 in my mind.

Do you have any thoughts on a better display? I have a 73" Mits with 9" Guns. I HATE LCD, DLP etc, so the only upgrade would be a front projector with 9" guns and my room doesnt have space for it... Other ideas????

Steve, you did get $3900 for the 568? In the US??

Tassie,

Why do you say the lex is not so good on the Music? I do like your other logic about listing the priorities. One big negative is absolutly no local dealer support. And yes, the Meridian was a impulse buy. The dealer was a new dealer and I got in on his opening order. I beleive I paid 30% under retail....

Cue,

Yup you are right, the used market is getting worse by the day!! I could prob buy the same combo back in 6 mo's for 1/3 of what I sold mine for. And I think there will be a used G Market fairly soon to..


So here are my plans.

I Just picked up a B&K Ref 50 to play with ($1800). I have heard good and bad.

Friday, a very GOOD freind and Lex dealer is going to let me have a MC-8. If I want it, it costs me $3200.

Now what I am stuck with is what to do for a transport...

Will the 598 be of any decent use with the above 2 processors??

Reccomendations of transports in the under $2000.00 range???

And to all a MUCH THANKS and a Merry X-MAS!!!

I will provide details as I unwrap the B&K now!!!

Scott
