Marantz ND8006...anyone had experience with it?
Okay, I just got one this morning, and am playing with it as I type this. So far so good, and I'm using the HEOS app that I downloaded to my phone and iPad, but I'll report further when I have some more experience with it.

Bringing this one back to life. I'm also very interested in buying one of these, as I'd like to consolidate some boxes. Has anyone here tried an ND8006 yet? I'd really be interested in hearing your impressions.

The 840C is a very good choice, and I've had one for the past I've years. It just so happens that I put it up for sale on USAM a few days ago, so if you'd like to take a look....  It's very close to your price range. 
Your Favorite Cover Songs?
Oops, meant to type Silence. 
Your Favorite Cover Songs?
Probably sacrilege, but I like the way Disturbed does The Sound of Solence. I also like Tony Cowan’s cover of Fly Like an Eagle. 
Peachtree iDac reliabilty?
I know this is kind of an old thread now, but I’ve had my iDac for 5 or 6 years now and it hasn’t given me an iota of trouble. Knock wood! Maybe I just got lucky, but I was surprised to read this thread and see the difficulties that others had. 
Great music few are aware of. Any genre.
@hifiman5 ive been listening to the artists via Tidal, and haven’t been able to find any of the compilations on their discography.  We still have a couple of record/cd stores around here and I’ll check and see if they have any Stockfisch holdings....

I’ve been listening to a lot of the Stockfisch label recordings (per Hifiman5) over the past few days, and they’ve been bringing me much pleasure.  Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. I’ll do some investigating.

@cleeds i appreciate your input. Can you tell me what I should do to correct the problem?  The hum really isn’t very loud, and once music starts playing I can’t hear it at all.  But knowing it’s there bugs me.

Thanks. I do have a slight hum as a result of the ground plugs on the ac cords, so will probably attach 3 prong to 2 prong adapters. I had to do that with my last couple amps as well. 
Anticables, Morrow Cables SP1 or PNF Cables
Strangely, there doesn’t seem to be a way to message anyone on this forum unless responding to a for sale ad.  The length is good for me, but I forgot to ask whether they’re biwires, which I want. If so, I’ll try to find a way to contact you.

@ Boxer12I may be interested in your SP-5 cables, depending on the length.  If you still have them shoot me a pm. 
The longest you have owned any gear?
A luxman t110 tuner that I bought new in 1977. Since I no longer listen to fm radio at home, I sold it last week.
