Cambridge Audio 840C

I've got an 840C. I've actually posted about it on the missing thread, and this thread. Don't know why my posts have not shown up, or why the threads about the 840c go missing? Some other company trying to squelch the enthusiasm for this player?
Anyway, my drawer mechanism works well. I'm still burning in, so I haven't given myself the time for a critical listen, but the first impressions have been favorable...

wondering if this will post???

Hmm,
I just noticed a strange thing about my new player. Admittedly, I haven't scoured the few pages of the manual, nut does it contain any information about the display on the unit? I'm specifically looking for something that would tell me why it doesn't display the name of the CD or the names of the tracks..
My other older player does this...
Thanks

I did an in depth look at the manual last night, and didn't find that CD-Text feature either.
Dang.
Maybe they'll come out with a software upgrade? It does display the software version on the display...
I also did a little listenning. mmmm
So easy to like.
More after vacation.

I did a brief comparison between my unbalanced and my balanced cables, but I suppose it's a bit of an unfair one as it was during the first 200 hours when things were breaking in. I started with balanced cables that were well broken in, and then my balanced cables arrived that I'd ordered specifically for the "improved sound" that RH discussed. I let these run for some time before really taking any time to listen again. There was improved openness and definition and imaging, but was that all due to the balanced cables being used, or due to the increased break in time, or both? Who knows. It sounds open, clear, articulate, and engaging, so I'm happy. I guess I could go back and insert the RCA cables now and see if I notice a reduction in any virtues from the player, sometime...
Also, I don't know if I remember anyone mentioning above, during the headphone discussion, the fact that the CD players that have a headphone output have a separate circuit for amplifying this signal for your headphones. So, when you listen through the headphone output, you're listening through a completely different amplification circuit, than would send a signal to your amplifier.

I find I am once again guilty of tired brain = confusing post syndrome.
My note above should have read:
I started with UNBALANCED cables that were well broken in, and then my balanced cables arrived that I'd ordered specifically for the "improved sound" that RH discussed.
It makes no sense to have said I started with balanced cables and then switched to balanced cables...
It's late in the day once again, hopefully this post has made sense.
Maybe I'll try some new feet?
