CD5001 was sold at RM590 during the AV fair. anyone bought anything from the AV fair?

I still hold Marantz CD63 series (SE, or KI Sig) with very high regard and better sounding than its successors, even better when modded with change of opamps and diodes. Reclocking (can be expensive) will push it into a higher realm throwing its nearest competitors out the window.
There's also the Audiolab 8000S..conservatively rated at 60w/channel but I've experienced its power more like 75 to 80W music power and poise. No doubt these are rather dated and can be found as used sets, but they're excellent choice for most purpose and intent. Just don't match these with cheap speakers.
