Welcome Dave, where in Maryland are you located? I’m southwest of the city in the Elkridge area. I’m right near the Howard and Baltimore County lines, very close to Anne Arundel County as well. I’m 5 minutes from BWI.
Soundscape is still in business. Another shop called Just Audio also does repairs, other cs members have taken equipment to them for repair.
I have several pairs of old Polks, selling the SDA-1Bs.
If buying new CD player, I would probably buy a transport to go to my DAC. I have a ladder DAC similar to the Denafrips Aries ii. I have been looking for used Oppo units, prices have gone insane!
welcome to the site, I hope you stay a while, kick off your shoes, put on some tunes, grab your favorite beverage and enjoy your stay!
Barry
