| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @facten I’d suggest ignoring any advice that suggests that the transport doesn’t matter, that bits are bits, yada , yada, yada I agree with your entire post and particularly this wise advice. OP if you’re really happy with your current situat... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I found this information. Input sensitivity is changed when used as a power amplifier compared to integrated amplifier usage. So quite possibly the preamplifier section is thus bypassed when used as power amp. Input sensitivity: 210mv (when be a... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @whitestix It is possible that the preamplifier section of your Willsenton is passive rather than active. The 5U4G is the rectifier tube. The 6SN7 or the 6SL7 is the diver tube for the 300b power output tube. If your amplifier has an active pre... | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist @frogman Indeed a stellar reed section. My introduction to “ A Child Is Born “ was on a live recorded CD of Pepper Adams. Charles | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist @alexatpos This music must sound divine via the Unison amplifier and Franco Serblin speaker pairing. Charles | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist Given his Detroit jazz roots from that era I wonder if Barry Harris ever recorded “A Child Is Born” . He’d surely do it justice. Charles | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist @alexatpos Thanks for these wonderful and beautiful music links. When I play my jazz CDs of this nature, 4 or 5 hours past so quickly and I still have to listen more. Charles | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist @frogman Thanks for posting this video. What an intro by Hanna ! The epitome of groove and swing. My foot was tapping and head was nodding with the beat before completion of the first bar. The great Paul chambers on bass. Nice! Charles | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist @bigquery Thanks for providing additional background insight. “A Child Is Born” has been a favorite jazz ballad of mine for many years. Two other Detroit jazz musicians who have recorded this song are Pepper Adams (Baritone saxophone) and Kenny ... | |
| The character of analog and digital @frogman I hear ya! I actually believe that we’re on the same page. I probably should have expressed my comments differently. When I said the topic of digital versus analog had become tiresome and stale I did not mean it as a way to suppress fur... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? Mindless trolling has become increasingly prevalent on Audiogon unfortunately. Charles | |
| The character of analog and digital So, let’s all take a deep breath and not get bent out of shape because someone’s opinion is someone else’s truth. Agree. But who here got bent out of shape? At least I did not detect this. Just seems various opinions and impressions were open... | |
| The character of analog and digital Agree, no argument, just different opinions being expressed. We listen and then form our respective impressions and judgements. No harm, no foul. Charles | |
| Best sounding CD player @vthokie83 👍 Charles | |
| Best sounding CD player @dvdgreco I would recommend at least a reach out to @bigkidz (Vu Jade Audio). I believe that they could modify and markedly improve your Cary. Just a good alternative for consideration. Charles |
