Romulus CD player--

sorry jwm, I did see the correct name on the site, I must have got Jim confussed with jack, @ grannyring, I enjoyed your post, I to, just want to listen to the music instead of the sound of a componet, your post was very helpfull, Thankyou.

Is it because it is too expensive for the average audiophile who does not have 7k to 8k laying around on his desk at home.

Grannyring notes that the "Signature Version: is a cool $10,000. I am sure there are a few or more members who have taken the plunge for either standard version or Signature. I could, but won't because of either the potential of buyer's remorse, or doing a two to three weeks hitch in sunny Spain, Italy, and Greece

Thanks, Grannyring.....very enlightening!

I purchased mine used and with the upgrades spent $4200 as an FYI. Far less than the cost of a dac, computer, USB to spdif converter, extra power cords, digital cable.........

They show up used once in a while....

Grannyring, the Signature upgrade also includes HRS Nimbus Couplers. Did you install these?
