It turns out the previous owner sold me his Moray James digital cable to connect the 2 units together. 
Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?
I thought you already owned SPM cables. I saw them in your list. I would not buy them either just for a test. If you have at least one pair of SPM then use them at the source. Try connecting the SPM pair to your CD player instead of the Red Dawn. ... 
Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?
I would keep the SPM cables and replace the Red Dawn. Try SPM end to end and if you are still having problems look else where. 
How Many Turntables Have You Owned
I have not owned many turntables in my lifetime. I had a Thorens 160 for a couple of years in the early 70's. I then bought a Linn LP12 in about 74. I still own the Linn LP12 but I now exclusively use a VPI Aries I instead which I bought a while b... 
Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect
I only commented because someone mentioned SPM as bright and I know the Frey is more so than the SPM. I am not using bright as a bad term just lean with a lot going on in the top portion of the music. The VALHALLA does the same thing in my system.... 
Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect
I can tell you the SPM cables are much more laid back than the Frey cables. I have tried both in my system. In my system I much prefer the SPM over the Frey cables. The Frey cables are too bright in my system. The problem with the SPM cables is th... 
Maple platform under turntable, How thick?
I had vibration problems with my turntable on my raised wood floor. I had to sneak up on my turntable to keep it from skipping. I replaced my old rack with a Steve Blinn rack here on Audiogon with 3 inch maple blocks. Now I can walk up on the turn... 
CTI 40th Anniversary cd Collection
I also bought CTI reissue of Stanley Turentine's "Sugar" LP recommended on this site a couple of weeks ago and it is great. 
CTI 40th Anniversary cd Collection
I ordered one and it was only $25.96 shipped. 
Big Blue Tenor Sax
I just ordered Jimmy Forrest titled "Out of the Forrest". I listened to the U-tube of the song and it sounds pretty good. I ended up ordering both CD and LP. I could not find the LP for a good price so I ordered the CD, then a mint one showed up o... 
Big Blue Tenor Sax
I ordered Ed Wiley, Jr. 'About the Soul' on CD. I could not find it on LP. Did it ever exist on LP? I bought Stanley Turrentine the new CTI reissue of 'Sugar' on LP and it is great. 
Which Nat King Cole?
I have gone back through my collection of Nat King Cole CDs and LPs this week. I concur “After Midnight” is really good. I assume by no strings you mean no violins because “After Midnight” has a string bass playing in the back ground. For Christma... 
It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k
I wonder the same thing about the Sony 5400ES player I own as to what it would take to better the Sony. I wish I could just compare different players in my system. I know the Sony keeps up with my improving and maturing sytem. I do not feel like i... 
$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?
My new favorite is a Joule preamp. You can look for a La-150 or if you need phono then a LAP-150 preamp. Make sure you buy one which can be upgraded to the SE version later or buy the SE version now. Not all 150s can be upgraded to SE version.
