I need a temporary source

[fliz]

I just took a leap of blind faith and sold my emc1.

While i wait for john tucker at exemplar audio to do the mods on my new denon, i'll need a source for the meantime.

my only requirements:

1) Easy to resell QUICKLY at the price i got it at

2) Less than $1k


The first is more important than the second. (hell, i'd spend $4k if i could turn a profit

)

thanks

BTW good sound would be nice too, but that should be obvious

edit: realistically, i'd like to spend as little as possible and still "survive" the wait for my modded denon. I don't want to use my d-777

You could try the onecall.com Philips 963 special for $260. Or you could get a used 222ES or 555ES, those definitely retain their value.

You could always try your computer as a source and get the ultra-cheap Chaintech AV-710 for $23.50. You should be able to resell it for close to it's original value, especially if you're willing to ship it internationally since they are only available in the US.

Edit: If you get the AV-710 be sure to set it up properly.

a bel canto DAC-2 if you can find it.

There is an NAD 541i on Audiogon for $190.

Now that's a bargain!

thanks for all your suggestions.
I couldn't find the nad for $190.

I ended up getting a rotel rcd-975 for only $175!

I had a 971 in '98 that i paid full retail for (my first audiophile cdp)

Looking back, i feel pretty stupid.

nonetheless, it was a pretty good player, and the 975 is supposed to improve apon it (and even sound better than the 991, which i couldn't afford at the time)
