| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I appreciate the suggestion for a CD transport. After I see what the DAC is doing, I will probably go down that road. But doing one change at a time is something I need to stick to. In the past I got multiple new parts to my system at once and it ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Nice confirmation, thanks. I think it was a sensible step forward for me in digital. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Done deal!Ordered the R2R Denafrips Ares IICouldn't have done it without you guys input. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @oldaudiophile.Yes, I have it set to audio EX 2, always have. It still is not in the league of some of the new DACs from what I now understand. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? You guys are the best! A lot of very good advice from many different directions. The one that resonate to me is do one improvement at a time. Been guilty of not doing that in the past. The other one that comes back most often is get an external DA... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @ghdprentice Thoughtful post, thanks. A lot to digest since I am just debating going down the digital road. As far as streaming, even so it may be the way things are heading now, it isn't for me. I grew up reading every word of every vinyl cover I... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @soix , just the info I needed. Obviously now I know going with a better CDP without a DAC is worthless. I did not know that because I never cared to research it. Thanks for schooling me. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I much appreciate the input so far since my digital knowledge is limited. As I am unsure of the improvements a DAC will bring to my CDP, what about starting with the Denafrips Ares II? I am currently not interested about all the bells and whistles... | |
| "I have the best system in the world!" An Audiophile's Journey Gilles is pretty cool. The one thing that sticks out about his listening room is the vast amount of acoustic treatment. Indeed that is a MAJOR part of any truly satisfying listening experience. Sadly too many listeners here rely mostly only on top... | |

| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Saw King Crimson a few weeks ago. WOW. If triple drumming was an olympic sport, they would win the gold every time. And keep an ear on Levin, oh my!Other than that, while music listening may make you smarter, talking about it can easily make you d... | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... I use SKW RCA cables, available on amazon. They provide a noticeable improvement over cheapo cables and won't break the bank. The sound improvement in the connection between my CD player and preamp was actually shocking. | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? I installed new 4s11 canare speaker cables with double wiring to fit my recently acquired PBN speakers. I got about 30 hours on the cables and they have been all over the map so far, specially the first 25 hours. Sometime bass lacking, sometimes p... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Don't mean to break the flow, but I am seating watching King Crimson right now in Cedar Park Texas. Intermission. 3 drummers, 7 musicians! Start of 2nd set now, in the court! Heaven on earth. | |
| A true legend has passed away! ' Set it and forget it ' RIP Rusty Hill.Don't have time to check if there was a mention of him on this site. But this is mine. Will miss this Texas rocking legend. Thanks for the memorable concerts and albums. You will be missed. |
