    I had the Creek 4040, which was part of my first 'real' hi-fi (partnered with Tannoy M15s and Acoustic Research EB101 turntable), and I agree it was, and probably still is a real cracker.

    I 'upgraded' to an Arcam Alpha amp, and although there was so much more detail out of the Arcam, it never touched the Creek on musicality.

    Dry solder joints was a major problem on the CD104. The transports on these early machines are among the best that Phillips ever made, they may wear in time, but rarely give trouble.
