http://www.absolutehifi.com.au/index.php in Liverpool. The prices they offer in store are way lower then the prices on their website. They quoted the 640c at $700 which was tempting, but I decided the need for a DAC as well as a cd player was worth almost a grand more.

I ordered one Saturday, and was told today that they are back order, so I don't know how long it will be before I get mine.

what happened. i saw that you sold your Azur 840C?

I saw that too (or I am reading it wrong). And after such a glowing review. I am so confused

. Now the 8001 is the better unit?

Any suggestions anyone?

Hey Daltonlanny, I have noticed you put your 840C up for sale already!!! Could you give us some idea as to why you are selling after such a short ownership period? Was the CDP giving you any problem that was latent in your shoot-out?

 

[daltonlanny]

The reason I am selling the 840c is to help pay some bills due to an accident in my family.
I am still very happy with the sonics of this player, and will miss it dearly, but I must preserve my credit which is more important to me right now.
I also had to sell my GS-X, my balanced cables, as well as one of my automobiles, to raise some funds for the unforseen accident and the resulting bills.
I will not be able to buy anymore cd players, headphones, cables, or any other audio gear for a long time to come.
Sorry if this caused any confusion.

May you be watched over by your master and heal your burdens. Sorry to hear of this as I know you were enjoying the 840 very much. You are busy with the right priorities and we all hope the best will come of it. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the sympathy and support, guys.
You guys are truly the greatest anywhere!
Maybe I can get back on my feet, financially, really soon.
Another thing, if I have ever offended anyone in any way on this forum, I apologize.
I know that sometimes my decisions and opinions in audio may sound outlandish or crazy sometimes!
Again, I can't thank all of you enough!
