should everyone just order emm?


i have levinson gear now, and it of course has been bested by
umteen transports and processors in the last 2-3 years. and now, without meitner, i may as well jump in a lake and swallow a snake. can the most rational fellow music lovers out there (no "asylum" cases please) explain how and why i/we should 1.go for any new major improvements NOW 2. wait for blue lasers(?) 3. buy more REDBOOK CD'S 4. clean off some of my old vinyl and relax to some leonard bernstein or some horowitz. 5. jump into the lake anyway having done all of the above. please advise. thanks so very much.

Craig, give the Exemplar/Denon 2900 a try.....It is a very nice unit that goes for just over 3K.
Bob, trusting your comments, I went in search of the Denon 2900 on line. Are you sure the price you posted is correct?

Denon's home site shows this at only $1000 unless I looked up the wrong model.
Robm321- The LP was once one of the "bandwagons" you refer to!! You are beginning to sound like a fanatical "78" disc spinner from the 40's. How could a slower rotating 33 1/3 disc possibly be superior sounding to the "78" ??

Sometimes bandwagons transport us to a better place, sometimes not. But to summarily dismiss all bandwagon rides is truly closed-minded and ignorant. Don't knock it till you've tried it..
Albert, That is the price for the stock unit. The additional is for john to do the modifications.
Thanks Brooks, now it make sense.

From the reviews I'm finding on line, the unit looks to be a great buy, even in stock form.

Wonder how it compares to my Sony DVP-S9000es?
