I just spoke with the fellow on line and with the out board power supply units he will not drop ...I'm really just not sure ... I can by 6 year old Ayon cd3 tube output stage for same price or an esoteric X1 ....or even for 3600 audio aero which has amazing performance ...why does this player even come close to much newer in price or performance ...can it or am wrong here ? There is even a electrocominet 2 yo upc for 3k ....I know this YBA cd1 is very good but it is from 2002 I just don't know
YBA cd1
Hello , I'm considering a YBA cd1 with external power supplies...I know the player this fellow has was from 2002 ....way long ago ....he will no go less then 3k and I'm at an impass ...I know this player has its reputation of being very vinyl like ....I just want to know would anyone even consider a player this old for that amount when I can buy so many other newer very good players for 3k or just alottle more ....but this fellow claims nothing today will blow it away for red book cd which is what I will mainly be playing ....he feels over sampling is not as good as this player 44.1 format and blue laser plus hi performance power supply ....please any comments will help thank you very much !
