Your cling wrap budget must exceed the GDP of some small nations.

I get excited sometimes...never wrap while listening to music.

 Is that a sansuii g33000 or a g22000 on the top shelf. That unit must be enormous if it is docked. How long have you owned it ?

The full and complete restore on my SX-1980 was about $750, but I had the big main filter caps replaced, and that's $240 just for those four caps.

Matt got back to me today and suggested a rough estimate for the Big 'G' of about $800 including the big main filter caps. Will have Matt firm in mind.

Sweet. Whenever you get to it, it will be well worth the investment, for sure.

There is a technics  big boy monster sa-1000 up for auction on e-bay. Asking price is 5200 usd. This is the first one I have seen up for sale since I have gotten into vintage receivers. I know these are rare.

I'm confused. Do they just pull these prices out of the air? Good grief its a hunk of metal and 40 year old electronics... Sheesh even the guy i can get an absolute mint 1050 from wants less than $500... This fella is nuts!> http://roseburg.craigslist.org/ele/4678062712.html

Plus $225 for shipping. I could drive to Sacramento and back for a lot less than that and probably get it faster. Criminy.

225 shipping? Is it delivered by Jason Statham?

I received a quotes from FedEx and UPS both appx $330 to ship my G-22000 some 2,000 miles.

And that was the store doing the packaging with insurance, yes?

Quick question for you guys regarding my setup - although its not receiver related, I figured you guys would be the best place to come for advice.
I recently came into a JVC 200 CD changer, a xl-mc222bk, along with a bunch of CD's (all of U2, REM, and many others) for free. Since I mainly use open LCD 2's with my setup, and my computer can be quite loud, I'd love to be able to use the CD player into my mac-1900 to have a quiet(er) listening environment. The only catch is, I don't know whether the JVC will degrade sound quality in comparison to FLAC files feeding into my Aune T1. Do any of you have experience or knowledge regarding these CD changers and the quality they put out?

Yes, so considering the Technics' weight, that $225 doesn't seem ridiculous.
