| CD Transport @baylinor Jay's strangely absent in this discussion. Fantastic top loader. The Jay’s Audio gets mucho praise on this forum (A quick search confirms that). The OP mentioned the 3 specific CD transport choices he’s interested in. But yes I like... | |
| CD Transport @bigkidz For those who feel CD transports do not sound different, I invite you to our listening room where we have Audiomeca Mephisto II, Metronome, Marantz, Cary, and a bunch of streamers to compare with your own ears. I don't believe the... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson It’s a dumb truism in audio, but simpler usually does sound better. Not that I’m a fan of 2-stage amplifiers or full-range drivers ... there’s such a thing as too simple. Every designer has to find the balance point between simpli... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Hi David, thanks for sharing this reply from Pro-Ject. I hope that they respond to your pertinent follow up question. I have to say that I have not experienced any of the numerous problems they detailed. My RS2T has been silent while ope... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Meanwhile, I've been sending emails to Pro-Ject's parent company, Audiotuning, asking how the CD Box re-design is going David, What type of feedback have you received thus far? Charles | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @inna If he really prefers his class D amps to tube amps then he fools himself. In any case, he is on this forum for business purposes, whatever he says - remember that For my listening needs high quality tube amplification (Low-moderate... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @inna He does not prefer his class D to his and many others tube amps. He won’t fool me. You may be wrong with that comment. I believe Ralph has stated that he is using his new GaN class D amplifiers as his main/primary choice. Also if I am... | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot No it isn't normal. As has been stated by several posters here, it remains cool to the touch even when on 24/7. Charles | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot I have no doubt that the music sounds good given the utilization of balanced AC power. Running hot as you describe is definitely indicative of a problem. Yes, try it without the power plant connection. Charles | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot @gte357s No, this is not normal for this unit. In December 2008 I purchased a new BPT 3,5 Signature +. It has been in continuous 24/7 use all of these years without a single problem or issue. It doesn’t even get warm to the touch. So yes, some... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy I still have the CD6SE (On loan from a friend). I’m really impressed with the air between and around instruments. Listening to John Coltrane’s solos on "Blue in Green" from Kind of Blue, the CD6SE allows you to hear the resonance/ec... | |
| 300b lovers @tuckia08 EML 300b XLS - Pretty good. Not as nuanced as the best. Depth and width OK, but not the best. Good low end drive. Much better than everything listed above. Takatsuki - Excellent tube. Best bass drive. Good Detail. Depth and inner... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @pindac Thst was a very insightful comparison of the new TEAC 701 transport. I have no doubt that it has excellent sound quality. They have been at this for quite some time and clearly know what they are doing. @wharfy (David) it will be most i... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing Hi David, https://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jackie-mclean-and-lee-morgan-the-dynamic-hardbop-duo/ I bought “Consequence “ probably 25 years ago. They’re good playing together. Charles | |
