| Who has upgraded their Cambridge AZUR 840C CDP to the new AZUR 851C CDP? Hi grm;About 2 years ago I upgraded from my 840C to the 851C. Certainly no looking back. I was not unhappy with my 840C until I heard them side by side. It only took 3 cuts on a reference CD and 4 switches back and forth ( not an immediate a-b co... | |
| best CD player new or used for $1200 Hi John;Doug Again, just wondering what you ended up buying for your cd player. | |
| Hegel 80 with either KEF LS50 or KEF R300 Hey Morty74;The LS50 is definitely way more refined than the 300's. More finicky for set up and you'll need power. I've had mine a few months now. FYI..I auditioned the Hegal H160, Simaudio Moon 340i and the Bryston B135sst². IMHO the Bryston was ... | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion I took home the Oppo 105 and the Cambridge 851C and was able to compare them at home. No comparison, in fact, a WORLD of difference. I was, frankly, shocked. I had read so many glowing reviews/remarks on the Oppo. Thin, uninvolving, fatiguing........ | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 nightfall, I am curious, have you made any decisions, or been able to do any comparisons your self to date ?cheerio | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 When I purchased my Cambridge 851C I was able to compare the Marantz SA 8005 in the store through the same system back to back. The Marantz is good. But after about only 15 minutes of going back and forth a couple of times it became abundantly cle... | |
| Audiolab 8200CDQ or Cambridge Audio Azur 851C Hello Tube meister;I just came across this thread and am wondering what you ended up purchasing for your cd player.Cheers;Doug MacGregor (dmacg) | |
| Audiolab 8200CDQ or Cambridge Audio Azur 851C Tube meister;I have the Moon 230D cdp and the Cambridge Audio 851C in my main system. Hence I can't speak to the Audiolab. If you need the flexibility that the 851C will afford you, then nothing compares to the 851C that I know of for the price. I... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? With out a doubt the best "value for the money" I have found in audio is the NHT Classic Three speaker. For $900.00 a pair, I have compared them to some of the most respected speakers up to $5000.00 a pair. I also think that there dsp controlled B... | |
| The best CD Player for the money No question in my mind. After much research and home trials the new Cambridge Audio 851C is truely amazing. It out performed CD players at more than twice it's cost, and quite handedly I might add. Unbelievable value for the money. | |
| Best Integrated, period. The best integrated SS amplifier I have heard I bought.The Bryston B135sst2You have to listen to it if it's in your price range.I mean it ! | |
| Speakers for Bryston B135 integrated Just came back to see your thread Fishing716. I wonder, how do you like your B-135? Also, I believe the NHT B-12dto be the best subwoofer (musical) I have heard personally. I haven't heard the PSB, though I am sure it is very good.Cheers | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? It was many years ago at an audio show. Maby next time.Oh, and Jedinite24, What I meant is to give them a break (an hour or two) after 4-6 hours of playing music. I should have been more clear.Cheers | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? Hi Jedinite24;A few years back in conversation with John Grado about breaking in headphones his suggestion was to use music (choosing something with good dynamic range and across the spectrum from lows to highs), give them a break every 4-6 hours ... | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? Absolutly Yes. Good rule of thumb is 100-300 hours. Depending in the phones. Don't just leave them on 24/7. Give them a break every 4-6 hours. |
