| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. It does has a "optical digital output". Is this what you are referring to?Beernut | |
| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. Thanks again for the ideas, I appreciate it.I like the idea of a music server but not of ripping 700+ cd's.Hmm. | |
| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. Hey, thanks for the timely responses guys. I am of course assuming a dedicated cd player will perform better than my Yamaha Universal. | |
| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. I should add, current speakers are Klipsch RF82 and my amp is Denon PMA 2000RIV integrated.Listening tastes are electric blues and classic rock with a smattering of jazz.Thanks! | |
| Audio from Blu-Ray players-how is it? Just got back into town-thanks for the input. Gives me some food for thought. Certainly, having 1 player is more desirable than 2 if you can pull it off. | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player Interesting input. I had toyed with the idea of a computer based source or perhaps a server of some sort. However, with 700+ cd's on hand, I can't see me spending the time transferring them to either. I was curious as to the point of dominishing r... | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player I use analog, I'm not a true home theater guy, still 2 channel stereo for my listening. My Yamaha universal has the Burr-Brown 24 bit chip set that I see in a lot of DAC's. I thought about the Oppo universal as an option as well. Hmmm. | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player I don't use an outboard DAC though I have considered it. I'd like to keep things a little simpler with fewer connections to contend with.Thanks! | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player Interesting. Thanks for the input. | |
| Kenwood KA8100 & KT7500 I am still a fan of vintage audio gear myself. I remember those Kenny pieces, pretty solid gear. As stated above, caps may be an issue and binding posts are awful on most gear of that vintage. Those were bare wire days.You are right, they could gi... | |
| Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's Ok, an update for those interested. The Cambridge was nice, went to a NAD C372 which was over-kill. Settled (for now) on an Audio Analogue Primo Sentatta (sp?). A nice balance of liveliness and smoothness.It does have a "tubelike" touch to it but ... | |
| Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's Thanks. I have a local offer to sell me an Arcam Alpha 8 which I may try as well.I would expect that and the Cambridge to have a similar sound. At this level, you can have some fun swapping amps in and out without tying up gobs of cash, which I do... | |
| Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's Ok, first impressions on the Cambridge A640 vs the Onkyo A9555. After some extensive listening last night I have the following impressions. The Cambridge provides a more "forward" presentation. Some might call it livelier. The Onkyo is more reserv... | |
| Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's Yeah, I'll post the results as my ears hear it. The Onkyo is a fine sounding amp. I kind of miss the more lively sound the little NAD provided. Rule of thumb with Klipsch's are to pair a smoother amp with them to tame the horn. Some guys love tube... | |
| Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's Ok, I sprung for a Cambridge 640. I also have an offer to buy an Arcam Alpha 8 I think. I may just hold a shoot-off with the Onkyo A9555. Hate to tie up the $$ but it could make for some fun on these cold NY nights. |
