| any thoughts? I just replaced my 1996, Sony CDP-2700 with the Audiolab 6000CDT and it sounds very good. I also have an OPPO and I think the Audiolab sounds better when used as a transport. All The Best. JD | |

| Bi-amping This will answer your question. | |
| Am I nuts? Not necessarily, I have a Sony CDP-2700 that has a born on date of January 1996. It was my daily driver until just a few weeks ago when I relegated it to my second system. Nothing wrong with it, I wanted a remote. All the best. JD | |

| PRIMARE SC15 (or NP5+DAC) or ARCAM ST60 or...??? Oh, There is a Primare FB page , that might be helpful to you. All the best. JD | |
| PRIMARE SC15 (or NP5+DAC) or ARCAM ST60 or...??? I just stumbled upon the NP5. It looks interesting, but by the time you include a dac, I’m thinking the Node 2 might be the more affordable option. I have a dac , but I’m still not sure about this one. All the best. JD | |
| Where is Geoff Kait???😢 @jasonnewell , He’s alive and well over at audioasylum. Just saw a post of his less about than an hour ago. All the best. JD | |

| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? Back in the day, I had a pair of DQ-10’s and I replaced the tweeters with Decca ribbons and they made the high end smooth as a Sows ear.😁 No really, there was no longer that sharp drilling sound that came out of those Piezoelectric ear shredder’s.... |
