why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Had expensive, had less expensive. Belden 1694a and lc-1 have been the very best quality, sound, price cable I have ever owned.  And you can use that extra money for more music, or another preamp, speakers if you want. Dont drink the oil

Class D is just Dandy!
Heard it again, still don’t like it. Wyrd4sound and..Veritas amps, looked cool, sound was blah to me. I like class a, or ab, even a switching class h has more feeling to the music.  Something about the d sound just don’t sit right with me.  It’s j...

My main concern is the long in the tooth McCormack. Is spending a good money for a CD player this old?or would the new Rotel use , have much newer better parts?reliability..

20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
Carver sunfire sig will still run circles around many amps to this day.   Isnt it a switching class H amp ? Regardless, its sound is amazing

Rotel cd14 NEW for same price roughly, and it probably has better parts, and better dac’s, as it’s not as old as the aging udp-1.  New Rotel cd14. Or the possibly better cd 1572 for 3 hundomore. Your thoughts help. Have demoed the Rotel, but no as...
