Cones/Bearings for CD player
Hi Megasam, I also have the Neuance. I use a Manna rack that has 4 adjustable spikes that the Neuance sits on. I was so impressed with this set up that I am going to order one for every component. I use the existing feet that are on my CD player. ...

Electrocompaniet vs. Resolution Audio
I have not heard the CD55. I have owned the Cary 303 and it is very good but in my system the EMC-1 had a better tonality with a transparency that the Cary could not quite match. Clarity, detail and a cleaner sound came from the EMC-1 vs the Cary ...
