| Pioneer Elite DV-79avi -- Rotel cd14 -- Rotel Rcd-1572 Hey look at the Tascam CD-200. It’s new, its a professional CD player and it is $250 on amazon. If you can connect an external DAC thats a bonus. That looks like a great bargain transport. | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations If your end goal is to have both a 2 channel High fidelity system and a Home Theater system than you should seperate them to get the best out of each system. You have a pair of great speakers, but you will not hear what they can do through the pre... | |
| Vandersteen/Mccormack/audio design questions I would use audiogon’s own resale audio data (Bluebook) and compare that to the estimates you get from the Chicago area shops. Just remember, that if you plan to sell or auction the equipment and offer the buyer shipping....you should have the box... | |
| Review: Sony CDP-XA20es CD Player Rrayda, it is quite the strange occurrence here on the agon, for the past month audiophiles have been writing in these threads about specific components I own today. I have a Sony XA-20es, and yes I bought it on eBay some 4 yrs ago I think?? It ha... | |
| Pioneer Elite DV-79avi -- Rotel cd14 -- Rotel Rcd-1572 You wrote you have the hotel dvd 1040 and heard the new hotel rcd1572 is better, do you mean rotel? | |
| Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2 I have the A21 and had the Odyssey Stratos some 8 yrs ago. The Parasound was better. Naturally open and neutral sound, clearer with more power. The Stratos and two other preamps I had from Odyssey developed noise and hum issues, the Tempest ( a hi... | |
| Dave Hlubek RIP Great band, whenever I hear MH's music I think of Lynyrd Skynyrd or Allman Brothers Band. They wrote some great southern rock music. RIP | |
| What are you listening to right now? SRV "Tin Pan Alley" | |
| Best player for Spotify gdnrbob- you have a killer combo there. The BS Node and the Ayer Codex must sound fantastic. For the OP, yeah that would work great for Spotify but Tidal or any other streaming service that allows for hi-res music will sound stunning out of gdnrbo... | |
| High-Resolution Audio (Battle of the Sound). What say you? Yeah I like Tidal but it is currently without a CEO and Jay Z (and many other pop artists) being majority stake holder with Sprint (I think?) he really places his music front and center. Like erik_squires stated, the variety is there in the catalo... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations I had to make a similar choice some years back and decided I liked to listen to music much more than building a Home Theater.Here is just one idea, of many, you could entertain. Sell your ML speakers and keep your Marantz SR6010 if you really like... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? Even though I like both of my CD players, I agree with many here, like zagoreos and anzaanimalclinic, CD players have moving parts, power supplies and other parts that can age, create noise, and are not simple devices like a spinning HDD and memor... | |
| Apple Airport Express and Cambridge Audio DAC issue I hesitate to say this but I think my experience might be useful. I have had many Apple products. IMACs, Ipods, 4 MacBook Pros and an Ipad. But the Airports have been a huge problem. I had three and an Express. They last about 1 year, and I had re... | |
| Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp? Without knowing your budget, the DeVores are a good choice. I think the Orangutan O/96 is a good match for the LM Audio. I also think, if you have a small room the Vandersteen Treo, 3a or even 2ce Sig II would sound great. I have the Sig II but if... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for B&W 805 D3 (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel, Schiit?) Parasound.... no doubt. |
