Ritz, I am happy to send you on the trip down memory lane. The Magnavox was my first and current CD player, which I bought in college also.

Psyprof1, thank you for the helpful comments. I don't doubt that the 990 is superior to my old Adcom. Now I just need to be convinced that the 1070 is, too. I am certain that the 990's and 1070's tuners are superior to the tuner in my Adcom, which has been quite dead for several years.

Tonight I am watching "Trainspotting" on DVD. I hear the film has a great soundtrack, which I will enjoy in good old 2 channel stereo.

Cheers!
