Searching for LONG / NARROW players
Hi all, I'm interested in long and narrow CD player or CD transport, a really good one.
I know about CYRUS... http://www.audioenz.co.nz/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cyrus_cd-topview.jpg
AUDIO ANALOGUE PRIMO... http://www.hifimusic.co.il/download/file.php?id=38673
ESOTERIC P-2... http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/13/945/94594/c.jpg
What else is there with similar design, hopefully in high end category, better than Audio Analogue Primo, but cheaper than Esoteric P-2?
Thank you very much!

Yeah thanks, I know about that Phatos, and about Mimetism MA-27.2, but I need something a bit more affordable. Maybe Rega Apollo - http://www.tonepublications.com/media/Apollo-r-open.jpg - but I'm not a big fan of that look. Anything else out there? I know there's TASCAM in that dimensions, probably vintage... |
Are these MUSICAL FIDELITY players good? X-RAY - http://www.audio-philia.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSC_03812.jpg X-PLORA - http://www.audio-philia.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSC_0408.jpg X-RAY V8 - http://product-images.highwire.com/10412494/4496-7.jpg |
".... 01-29-2016 2:56pm What I don't like with all these British players (Cyrus, Rega, Musical Fidelity) is that none of them has balanced outputs, and some of them don't even have detachable power cord..." ?????? (1) REGA , CYRUS, ARCAM, MF, LINN, NAIM, ROKSAN, CREEK, U-NAME-IT , and all the rest of the Euro quality build cd spinners ALL DO HAVE detachable independent power cords (mains power supply in Euro-speak) ... Full stop. They make them for a world-wide market with different connector plugs and different power grids... REGA / LINN / NAIM - as examples - even supply their own custom bespoke power cords (~$250- 300 price-point ) instead of the standard cheap crap quality bargain basement throw-in cables in cheap quality kit. even my prior B system Chi-fi NAD budget followed suit, but it certainly sounded much better when I upgraded the throw-in ultra cheap supplied power cord to a better quality upgraded one. ( 2) My REGA cdp certainly does have balanced outputs (XLR) that I use in addition to the separate set of unbalanced (RCA) outputs . |
