| Cayin CD50-T Anybody audition or own this? I auditioned one at the Vacuum Tube Valley show last May in NJ. The Cayin distributer A/B'd it with the Cayin SACD (2CH) player, and I thought the CD-50T was noticeably warmer. I was impressed, although I did not listen long enough to give you an ... | |
| Which DAC for $1K?Benchmark?Perpetual????? I would want to try the Channel Islands Audio DAC & power supply combo, and the new PS Audio Master Link III, both at or below $1K. Or even the Rega Apollo, a one-box solution for the same price. | |
| Two-channel SACD player recommendations? Bob: Care to name names (name the tube player, that is)? What was the rest of his system like? | |
| Just went to my first record show... Yes, but it's MY hell! :) | |
| Need help with Original CD 2008 player Moon Audio is selling these on A-gon right now. Since they mod this model, perhaps they can service it. | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? I was a poster in the original thread refered to by the creator of this thread. I did point out that commercially produced CDs use a stamped foil layer where CD-R/RWs use an ink layer. That is why commercially duplicated CDs outlast CD-R/RWs. Supe... | |
| How to Convert Analog Tapes to CD? The cheapest way to do this is to connect the output of your tape deck to the analog inputs on your computer's sound card. However, unless you've got a great sound card, you will most likely be dissappointed with the results (I was).I would sugges... | |
| Just went to my first record show... Not sure where montville is, but I suggest Yahoo maps or mapquest. The exit for Route 22 from the GSP is, IIRC, #140. | |
| Just went to my first record show... It is held at the Holiday Inn on Route 22 West in Springfield (Union County), about 10 minutes west of the GSP. There are links on the web site I referred to in the original post. | |
| Can I get some info on the Onix CD-3? Specs are pretty similar between the Onix and MBL, although the depth of the cabinet is different and the front panel layout is a bit different as well. Finding user or press reviews on the CD-3 is a challenge, even looking on the AV123 web site. ... | |
| Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring FWIW, I recently had a Super OM-10 installed in my Thorens TD-166 Mk II. It runs into a C-J PV11 pre (w/phono) then to an Odyssey HT3 amp, then to Vandy 1Cs, each with a Vandy W2q subwoofer. I am only a casual vinyl listener, but my impression is ... | |
| Seeking mechanically QUIET CD player Strong recommendation: I too sit just a few feet away from the CDP. My Rotel RCD-02's transport is very quiet. I would expect the current RCD-06 to be similarly quiet. I compared it to a NAD-541i and the NAD's transport was very noisy compared to ... | |
| $20 tweak to tame that digital shrillness I heard Mark's rather controlled demo of the Burwen-Bobcat at H.E. 2005 in NYC. It was smooth, but not overly involving or "magical." However, since we were unable to hear an unprocessed CD, it's hard to make the call. I have an EQ in my rack for ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Burwen Bobcat system I heard it at the '05 HE Show in NYC. Ditto what Dracule1 said, although I did find the sound smooth and listenable. Reading between the lines of what he was telling everyone, I suspect that this gadget is not much more than a sophisticated filter... | |
| Which processor? Linn, Rotel, Outlaw, Meridian? FWIW, I home demo'd a Rotel 1068 and the Sherwood/Newcastle P-965 at the same time about two years ago. Although a close call, the Sherwood, which should sound much like the Outlaw (they are both produced by Sherwood) bested the 1068, especially i... |
