Bought a Cyrus Quattro online from a well known Market Place for £125. The unit also has an FM Tuner option and would have retailed around the £900 mark when new. Being a pre-amp, CD player (plus afore said Tuner), the only thing that it requires is a Power Amplifier and speakers. I happened to have a Cyrus Straightline amp (which is an integrated design), however, connected to the Quattro, it still works a treat! made up with the sound it produces (it replaced a Teac 300 Reference Series set-up, which itself is no slouch), but this Cyrus combination is sonically far superior. One of the best things about Cyrus is their customer service, as I can testify when I contacted them regarding using the Straightline-Quattro combination. A certain Chris Clayton, Sales Manager of Cyrus, was extremely helpful. Geoff, North Wales, UK.
