CD PLAYER
I hear the Audio Note Fifth Element with separate DAC and power supply sounds nice and one can usually pick it up for only about $200,000.00 and have a few bucks left for some CD's. 
When does seller's responsibility end?
This might be an individual decision, after a month, I would take care of my customer and pay for repairs. A situation similar to yours happened to me several years ago. I ended up loosing a few hundred dollars but suffered no heart ache and the b... 
2012 Jazz cd compilation: Down Beat magazine
I use a list like this as well as mentions in equipment reviews to look into new music ideas. I then will listen to them on my small system, (Dynaudio Xeo 3, Arcam rDACkw and online sources like spotify) to make purchase decisions. I am at a point... 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
Double Wow! Santa just brought me a pair of Xeo 3 and an Arcam rDAC. My Ipad was set up and all day listening to tons of free music and very very impressed. This system is in my living room, small, sunny and comfortable living room. My main system... 
David Wilson must be a little annoyed...
Well, I am not so impressed. I read the article and then erased every "7" and replaced it with a "9". then I gushed a little more and BEHOLD, the newest greatest bestest mostest transducer (I like this word, seems to get a lot of use lately) of tr... 
Verity Audio speakers
I have the Verity Encores, latest model, for several years. Did have the opportunity to demo the Ovations at home, very similar, slight change in bottom bass section. Did not notice much difference so I kept he Encores, loved them both. Great matc... 
Cable For Esoteric UX-3 Universal Player
I use the audience AU24e with mine. Previous was shunyata. I like the Audiene. 
platform under NAS Spacedeck
I have tried the mapleshade, nice upgrade, reasonable price. My favorite is a Silent Running Audio base custom made for the Spacedeck/Acespace. A bit more money but well worth it to me. 
The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?
Elizabeth, put the paper towel rolls in the freezer for 34.5 hours along with a picture of Mikey Fremer and you will notice a HUGE amazing increase of everything that ends in "-ality". I am thinking of marketing this and a set of four risers with ... 
Esoteric UX 3 Universal Player
I will also say that the video at 1080i is fantastic. I no longer use the video but when I did I did not miss anything from my blu-ray. 
Esoteric UX 3 Universal Player
I love my UX-3. I turn off the video for audio playback, a simple push of a button. I did recently have it skip on a few dual disc sacd, sent it in for warranty service, I purchased it as a demo unit almost two years ago. Esoteric could not reprod... 
Sonus Faber Cremona M vs Verity Audio Parsifal
I am very happy with my Parsifal Encores and have listened to many others and go back to the Parsifal's. I did have a chance to upgrade to the Parsifal Ovations and in my room with my system the Ovations did not sound really much different. If bli... 
Fed up with people making noise at classical shows
Welcome to this forum Mr. Kieth Jarrett, It is nice having someone of your talent join us on these forums. As for the noise, I can't help much but do try to be very quiet in live concerts myself. 
Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables?
I would agree with the description offered by Inna for the Nottingham. I have a spacedeck with the newest arm and an odd but great bearing and like it a lot. I was really surprised by benefit of the heavy kit. I also upgraded the base it sits on w... 
Classe move to China
Sorry, lost the last of my post somewhere in the computer world, to Fundsgon, you might look for a pair of CA-M400 if the country of origin is a concern, I wanted to post my impression of differences between the two. If I was looking for home thea...
