| CD Transport Question YOU ARE DEFINITELY MISTAKEN AS THE PIONEER ELITE PD-65 CAME WITH BOTH COAXIAL AND OPTICAL. ITS OKAY TO BE WRONG AS IT IS SHOWN IN THE ARTICLE AND THE MANUAL. YOU DEFINITELY HAD A DIFFERENT MODEL UNLESS YOU NEVER OWNED ONE. ARTICLES AND MANUALS DON... | |
| CD Transport Question @tweak1 Are you sure you’re talking about the same units. Last I checked both the Pioneer Elite PD-65 and the DV-09 have the option of Coaxial as well as Optical Outputs. I use mine with my Chord Dave DAC. You may be talking about their other mo... | |
| CD Transport Question tweak1 Not sure where you are looking for lasers. They are the same for most high end CD Players and Transport. Example, Esoteric to name one. Also, I’ve tried the Audiolab 6000. It’s okay at best. It doesn’t stack up to the PD-65 or even the DV-... | |
| CD Transport Question I recommend 2 choices. A Pioneer Elite PD-65 or the famous Pioneer Elite DV-09. The DV-09 is built like a tank and there are a lot of reviews being used as a transport. Fully copper chassis inside including the famous TEAC CD Loader. The PD-65 pla... | |
| Sound quality of Roon https://carydirect.com/shop-now/dms-800pv.html | |
| Sound quality of Roon Go with the Cary Audio DMS600, DMS650, DMS700 or the mighty Pro Series DMS800 streamer DAC with a Roon Nucleus. Very hard to beat the sound quality and the ease of use with the apps. I’ve never looked back since I have made the move. They sync bea... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Avan Are you sure you’re looking at the right Cary Audio preamp? They have both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs. May want to double check. | |

| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day Hello, I have been shipping with FedEx and UPS for almost 20 years with high end car and home audio. I always use factory packing because these manufacturer companies got it right and have had many countless experiences compared to us as con... | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread Jim, I agree with you 100% I am doing the same because they can’t be trusted and believe me, don’t waste your time on insurance. It is a total scam to make money. Take that extra cash and pay for Global or freight shipping on a pallet. | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread coltrane1 Sometimes it just depends on your area. My packages from FedEx to me has had that happen a couple of times but it has been in the last 2 years. UPS on the other hand is worst. I’ve heard stories of them kicking packages around like a so... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Hello, if you can get a Cary Audio SLP-05 from Cary, snag it. You will not be disappointed. Works with just about any amplifier, SS or Tube | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread When I mean by freight, I mean put it in a pallet even if it is 40lbs and it is an electronic item, and ship it with a real freight trucking company. They do a much better job than UPS & FedEx. After a while I think they will get the point. | |

| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer The negative replies are truly funny. I’m curious of what equipment they have tried. I’m definitely not loyal to any brand of equipment because I do consider myself an audiophile/ audio snob. If anyone is in the Southern California area and want t... |
