Not sure why exactly but looks like Mental gone and started his own music thread.
Still no good reason to delete his posts here....

Good deal
Honestly if you get the urge to splurge find a Nordost Heimdal 2 cable, it really was a big upgrade over the Silver Shadow, as it should be considering the new price difference!

World in Motion ... Jackson Browne.

+1 on The Be Good Tanyas!
A Decade of Steely Dan on thrift store 99 cent CD. |
Tbh I am playing a lot more CDs of late and really enjoying the SQ.
I took a chance on a non working CEC belt drive CD transport.
It turned out it just needed a belt and using it via AES/EBU into my EX8 is quite an experience compared to the OPPO as a transport.
Just bought 10 more CDs today from local thrift shop at 99 cents each. How can you go wrong! |
Boxer
Maybe look out for Butterfly Boucher.....
Might move you

Thanks guys
Yeah from what few I have seen for sale my total cost is now about 125 with shipping and belt so pretty good all round I think.
It has certainly given my CDs a new life!

I had never heard of secondspin.com but just been on this morning. Like the fact that shipping is just 3.99 for up to 40 CDs!
So yes I just bought 15 more....lol. |

May have overpaid at $75 if it did not turn out to be simple but as it is I think I did ok.
I think as it is just a transport with a lot less internal wiring and circuits, that could help the sq?
Not really sure but it beats the OPPO hands down as a transport, a lot more warmth and more musical all round. It does really well on acoustic guitar and female vocals, which is a lot of my listening nowadays.

Time for a laugh and nope it’s past April fools.
Just to give you all hope for jury rigging gear.
The belt in my CEC player was stretched beyond usability but it was still really soft and pliable.
Removed it to measure and to obtain a replacement.
However being me and impatient I decided to act.
Cut the old belt and snipped out about 3/4inch and then tied a knot in it.
Yep you read right, pulled it really tight and cut the dog ear ends of real close.
Has played at least twenty cds flawlessly so far..........

Only just saw your post on Codeine Velvet Club.
Basically it was a side band for Jon Fratelli with Lou Hickey on vocals.
So similar to the Fratellis but with female vocals.
