Yes. If it's a hybrid disc, I'll pick SACD - DSD if available, PSM if not, downmixed to 2 channel. I rarely listen to music with my surround system, and if I do, I'm streaming flac, sitting in the front yard, sipping a beer or other adult beverage, and enjoying my neighborhood freak show. JVC did all of the original MFSL album pressings. I don't know if they still do since the revival of MFSL. IMO, they did great work.

Hello Nick,and welcome to thecarversite.com. We're glad you're hear. There is a lot of information here, much technical know how, and a pretty good bunch of folks that are happy to help. On those amps, get them both, but offer him $175 for the pair. The worst he will do is say no. When you get the chance, upload some pics of your gear in the Members Systems area. We all like pics of all kinds of audio gear. So kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard.

Most Mobile Fidelity, Dunhill Compact Classics (MOFI & DCC), and Audio Fidelity CDs, SACDs, & vinyl are all done very well. Steve Hoffman of DCC & Audio Fidelity is highly regarded as a recording engineer. Alan Parsons, Mutt Lange, & Todd Rundgren have a history of great work as producers. Expect to pay more for the MOFI, DCC, and Audio Fidelity recordings, sometimes much more, but I've been rarely disappointed.

I bought a Yamaha CD-X1 in '83 when the price dipped below $500. I still have it--I think. I've not been in the attic for a while, but I don't recall getting rid of it.

Definitely!

Do you prefer an analog or digital music source? Why? For critical listening, I much prefer vinyl for the warmth, and for the sad fact that changing albums is about the most cardio exercise that I get anymore. For background music, I prefer digital most likely because I don't have a reel to reel.

I wasn't disappointed. Movies: James Bond - Sean Connery for the cool badass, Roger Moore for the comedy. Books: Jack Ryan followed closely by Jason Bourne. Storyline Bourne was born and raised just a few miles south of me (Nixa MO)

Fixed.

That's a nice score on the C4000 and manual, and a great karma from your friend. So kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard.
