    I'm getting out of the CD business and am selling off my CD player
    and CD collection (giving some friends first dibs then will post
    in CDSWAP.  I don't use it much and am interested in other toys.
    
    Musical Concepts modified Magnavox FD2041-BK01 for sale:
    This is a highly modified player and sounds better than anything
    twice the price.  Here's what you get for $450:
      $150 Magnavox 2041 + Musical Concepts level II mod ($280) +
      Musical Concepts Low Impedence Power Supply ($100) + 
      1 amp torroidal transformer for the audio section ($40) +
      lead foil and Sorbothane anti-resonant treatment on transport+
      Many additional polypropelene bypass capacitors not included in
      the level II mod. + service manual ($7.50) + interconnect ($60)
                 "a $637.50 value"
    This is the machine that Musical Concepts displayed at the winter
    CES show in Las Vegas, which is why it is so super-modified.  Since
    that time, I have installed several updates and the torroidal transformer.
    
    The price is negotiable.  You might be able to talk me down a little,
    especially if you buy some CDs too.
    
    This machine works just great, except for the headphone output whose
    circuitry was exercised to make room for more mods.

|     I find that I don't listen much to the CDs and have lost some intrest.
    Records sound just as good (and cost less).
    I'd like the $ for other toys (cars, skis, swl).

|     Short-wave listening and eventual Ham radio.  Sigh, can't make it
    to Deerfield (NH) this weekend.

|     I can understand your feeling... I got hooked on satellite TV after
    reading an article by Bob Cooper in TV Guide back in 1978 - and that
    was just about it for high end audio. (for example, I traded my Hartly
    subwoofer for a microwave sweep generator).
    I'll still go to concerts and buy records on occasion, but there are
    only so many hours in the day to divide among hobbies.

    Short-wave listening and eventual Ham radio.  Sigh, can't make it
    to Deerfield (NH) this weekend.
Thanks for the clarification,  I thought SWL meant swill, aka 
booze.  After all, you never know what hobbies some have.
