| Preamp has too much gain I also had a gain issue. I installed rothwell 10db attenuators between my cd player and pre-amp and that solved the problem.Chuck | |
| Break in period Sunnyboy1956Great system! Enjoy the music and the single malt because in the end that is what it is all about. Chuck | |
| Break in period I would consult conrad johnson they know their equipment best. I have a premier 350ss amp with the teflon caps and break-in was long 250+ hours. I listened to music and did nothing special for break-in. Leaving tube equipment on unattended 24/7 to... | |
| Is HDCD dead? In my experience I have seen very few mfg's produce players capable of decoding HDCD at the same time very few labels producing disc encoded with HDCD or at least advertising that they do. So perhaps this answers the question. Chuck | |
| HDCD compatible? I agree it is a shame more mfg's don't support it and more labels don't produce the discs or at least make it known that they do. | |
| Help with decision on selling Sony SCD-1 Speaking of sled drive motors does anyone know if Sony is working on a replacement? It would be nice to have a spare.Chuck | |
| Help with decision on selling Sony SCD-1 You will not do better for the money. I hope there gets to be a glut on the market so I can buy another one cheap. I will also keep mine until the bitter end. My scd-1 is a fully modified unit and it is simply stunning in its presentation. It easi... | |

| Best bang for the buck turntable? I also only have a few albums (100 or so) and that is what has held me back. Also the maintenence issues the set-up the cleaning the snaps and pops.Chuck | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? I would recommend the Rega P3 with the RB 300 tone arm. That is probably what I am going to purchase as I am in the same boat you are. Although I have heard a few tables in excess of 5K I still prefer digital over analogue. Chuck | |
| best shielded pc for cd player around $200-300 I use a PS Audio Statement Xstream and like it very much. It blackened the background on my cd player.Chuck | |
| haunting/dark classical MyraiI never would have suggested Chopin to someone looking for haunting and dark melodies. But as a classical pianist who plays a fair amount of Chopin; I agree with you. This is especially true of his minor scale Nocturnes. My first thoughts tur... | |
| haunting/dark classical LwatsonYou might try this CD (Greif: Sonate de Requiem, etc / Bertrand, Amoyel, Weithaas). I have it and I need to be in a very special mood to listen to it. Shostakovich as well as Prokofiev are also capable of some very dark melodies.Chuck | |
