Hi all! I'm looking to replace my old Thorens TD180 with a new budget priced table.
Which one is better:
Music Hall MMF2.1 or Pro-ject Debut III?

So if I replace my Cyrus what should I be looking at ? The Unison CD is one that I've heard great things about, and an Arcam has been suggested, and maybe Musical Fidelity A5 ? I want something that sounds as close to vinyl as possible.

Maybe I need to ditch my NAIM amps and go for valves ?

Having said all that I got the amazing Ashkenazy / Decca recording of the Rachy Symphonic Dances at the weekend, and the recording really showed off the Cyrus.

My Yamaha R-100 reciever died today, I loved that machine!!
With todays technology, whats the best way to update my system. I have a t.v., CD burner, 5 disc changer, dual vcr editing unit, in my entertainment system, and need to buy a new reciever or??? ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Do my ears deceive me? My Marantz SA8260 SACD Player has been having trouble reading hybrid SACDs, so I took it out of my systen to send it back for some warranty work and I put back in my 1988 Sonographe SD-1. I swear it sounds better. Is that possible?
