| 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. | |

| 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... |
