| CD player Here we have yet another thread where someone asks about a CD player, mentions that he likes to both spin CDs and stream, and every one tells him that he should just stream. @mahler123 Yes, this occurs pretty regularly on this site, a disr... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure ENGLISH LOWTHER IN THE ORIGINAL (THIS IS IMPORTANT) CASE - 10 TIMES BETTER ... 10x better than what? Quite a few happy Nenuphar owners have heard or owned other full range drivers and have decided to go forward with Cube Audio offerings. The... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I was thinking maybe as a bypass cap to see if anything yields interesting. may not be a good idea after all :-) I gotcha , problem is there’s nothing to bypass (With a capacitor). Ultra minimalist speaker design and a main factor as to why its... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I have been meaning to add a Vcap ODAM in the Nenuphars. I have some on my linear power supply filter caps but I have not done played with it with the speakers. Anyone has any experience on how they perform on speakers The Nenuphar is single dr... | |

| Dumping it all for Lyngdorf??? @chayro Just a friendly piece of advice from someone who has been there and back. Buy what sounds good and forget about what makes sense on paper. Simply brilliant advice. Take heed. Charles | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Another factor that is worth emphasis is the level of the home audio system. As you improve the quality of the speakers, amplification, cables etc. resolution and overall sound quality improves. You are now capable of hearing more and the differ... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @facten It doesn’t really seem that you have allowed yourself an opportunity to really evaluate if an ’expensive’ transport positively impacts SQ. I think that if you tried even a modestly priced transport, say a Cambridge CXC, or Audiolab 6000 ... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? @nonoise Hifi+ reviewer Roy Gregory is very good and thoughtful in his writing approach. He is spot on making the case that CD transports are at their best when dedicated to the singular objective of managing Redbook CD rather than the multi-for... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? So, yes, I think a dedicated CDT is the way to go. When Technics finally gets their act together and starts shipping their SU-G700M2 integrated, I plan on getting the TL5. There are very good quality CD transports available and this would qual... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? if your CDP sounds better than streaming, it pretty much says you have not kept up in the "arms race" for a streamin set up. I disagree, they can definitely go toe to toe, you can easily increase the sound quality with either a transport or mus... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @ridoves +1. I'd give the remote a grade of B for functionality. The CD transport gets an A+ for sound quality. Charles | |
| Bluesound 2i coaxial output sound quality So, don’t believe anyone that says the streamer isn’t important… either they are playing with sub $1000 systems, or just haven’t had wide enough exposure. Probably well intended, but without lots of exposure at many levels, it is easy for your he... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @pesky_wabbit of course the belt drive thing is CEC marketing. They make very good transports, but to suggest that they are inherently superior because of their drive mode is taking things a little bit in the direction of the marketing departme... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? I have read a few posts saying that even a modern inexpensive CD transport can sound better with modern DACs than older, more expensive CD players equipped with digital outputs (RCA digital output) Well the OP mentioned " inexpensive CD transpo... |
