What do I do for an upgrade ?

does the 2000 player use the same stable platter transport mechanism as the 1000 transport? If so I found the 1000 transport as not very good quality sound at all especially if compared to the 7000 transport or something better like a Wadia 20 transport

The VR4jr's alone will need some time spent on your part or you really won't know for sure how much difference in sound is caused by the new speakers or the new digital.

Very good advice by Plato which should be the standard for us all.

Mejames,
Yes, I believe it is the same platter. It is the Pioneer Stable platter system.
Iinitially had a Krell 300CD, but it was like a buzz-saw as far as smoothness went.Inever could get a relaxed sound from it, and so the EAD was a side step . A good deck for the money, but I'm looking for ways to get a more refined, transparent sound.

Thanks for the thoughts....I'll wait a month or two till the VR4jr's break in before making a descision.

The finest DAC for the $ in my humble opinion is by far the Audio Logic 24MXL. It retails at $4000 and you can pick up a demo for $3300 with warranty or used/unwarranted unit at
2500. I bought one new and use a simple/inexpensive marantz CD player as the transport...this combo is better than my old Levinson 31.5/30.5 at a small fraction of the cost!
