Hi, I already said the vincent will take atleast 500 hours to break-in, and the sound to fully intergrate and the bass slam to come thru, cheers. |
I would vote for the Ayon cd2s as best player for the money,at the price point the 2s is at,there are very few that betters the sound of this player,if you cannot get one new,get one used,built very well!,you can throw this player and it will not fall to pieces,it has many perks that you find in more exspensive players!,Happy listening! |
I know I already said The Ayon cd-2s, I just got the player when I made my last post,For the $6,500.00 class of players and down, I have never heard a player as great sounding as this!, very well worth the money to me!, I have listened to alot costlier digital players that was not this good!, Happy listening! |
@ Abruce, wow!, I never seen that price on the used market here on the audiogon for a used Ayon cd-2!, I bought a new 2s player, that is a lot better than the original cd-2!,, cheers! |
@ Monster7, I second that!, 13 years is amazing!, this one must hold the record!, LOL!, tell me if you find a thread older?,, cheers! |
I second that claim of Mrtennis!, I once owned a vincent cd-s7, returned it, thought more money would bring a better player, going on the fourth player since 4-2012, LOL!, this fourth player I am going back to the vincent cd-s7 player, It is the most musical player I have heard, and the most realistic betral of real music, tone is spot on, bass is to die for, the presatation of the sound stage is unbelieveable!, cheers. |
@ Grey9hound, Hi, I told you Mrtennis was cool!, He enjoys his Vincent, go ahead, read his review!, I cannot waite to get another one!,mmm, A small loan perhaps, I am getting nancy here needing that player back on my system! |
@ mrtennis,I disagree with your comparisons of the marantz and vincent, I know something of the vincent you have never tried!, resonance tunning!, there is not a marantz now or ever that will better the bass and 3-dimensionality of the vincent cd-s7!, The marantz players are 2-dimensional sounding, they will never have the full body of the vincent player!, using the vincent by its self has a different sound, put a 2 inch thick by 10 inches long by 6 inches phone book on top of the vincent player and move it around to tailor your tast is astounding!, the marantzes will not do that!, I have had many players, none of them has the dimensionality, deep sound stage, The Body!, huge sound stage as the vincent player, LOL!, defiantly no marantz!, Grey9hound, I gurantee you that the vincent player with tunning is extremly better than the marantz period, thats my opinion, what do I know,LOL! |
@ Ghosthouse, Hi, Thats what I was looking for, the price difference between the Esoteric K-07 and the Teac cd-3000, Now all has made since, I understand when it comes to cost, cheers. |
@ Nonoise, Hi, some how I missed your post about the chassis build quality of the vincent, you are correct, the vincent does have thinner metal and will perform better with tunning, I like that!, being able to change your sound with out electricity is always cool to me!, I have owned digital with built like a tank chassis that sounded bad, no matter what i did, tunning was not available on a chassis like that, it did not work!, the last time I had exsperience with marantz, I did not see any one eighth to quarter inch thickness to the chassis, It is my conclusion, that resonance tunning will work to good effect on any marantz digital player, new or old,, cheers. |
Hi initforthemusic, I put a $5,000,00 Taralabs Cobalt on the Vincent cds7 player with the furutech Rhodium outlet on the wall, talking about completely changing the sound of the player to sounding many times the cost, huge performance increase, I was stunned!, incredible. |
The TARA Cobalt is a power cord, the Interconnects are Tara zero gold running directly to a highly modified krell 700cx amplifier, speaker cable's are Taralabs omega gold, jumper cable's for Bi-Wireing Tara special order omega 10", which is on a modified pair of jbl L7 speaker's that do 30htz to 27khz. |
