| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Great catch, Cleaneduphippy! I hadn't seen that PFO review and I agree with your reasoning. Thanks! | |
| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Thanks for your thoughts. My friend will go with my recommendation and used is okay, but I want to be sure that it's going to last. The Denon 3910 gives *me* a bad feeling in that regard and, besides, I'd prefer to get a plain old CDP.I offered hi... | |
| Active speakers to replace GMA Europas The Quad 12L Active can be had near to your budget and are a possibility. As to whether or not they are in the same league as the Europas, I'd say "maybe." | |
| Marantz 5001 cd player I'd love to hear some opinions on the CD 5003. I have a close friend whose JVC 1010 player finally quit after 20 years. He has vintage Vandersteen 2's with an Eagle amp and Bryston pre. The system has a nice, lively sound. He's not interested in s... | |
| Ayre C-5xe gone wonky The MP upgrade for the K-5xe is "Maximum Performance" whereas the MP for the source components is "Minimum Phase." As I understand it, the Maximum Performance upgrade changes the output stage from bipolars to JFETs and came about as a result of th... | |
| Will YBA Integre DT Match Harbeth Speakers Well? I understand. One amp I found that worked extremely well with Harbeths (to my ears) was Nuforce. Have you ever tried that? | |
| Will YBA Integre DT Match Harbeth Speakers Well? Harbeths are not exactly chameleons and, in my experience, it's hard to move the needle very far from the Harbeth house sound. But I'll be interested to learn what you discover. | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 Gbmcleod, you were waxing very enthusiastic when you first got a Cambridge 840C. How did that turn out, and how would you compare it to the Arcam? | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? What I like about Internet radio is I can listen to the best jazz stations in the country, the best classical stations, and Celtic Sojourn. HD or not, the local market doesn't have enough to offer. | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Tvad, have you tried the Burson? Has anyone? Very curious about it. | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? Not to hijack the thread, but when I listen to Internet radio via iTunes from my server, I have a lot of problems with iTunes crashing as it tries to rebuffer the stream. Does this happen with SB solution? | |
| Skylan stand for Compact 7 ES-3 I buy Skylan direct from Noel. His prices seem very reasonable to me (on the website, they are listed in Canadian dollars, by the way). | |
| Any love for the new Elvis Costello? I like it alot, too, having listened about 4 times through. | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" AN has not always impressed me, but the couple of times it has, it REALLY has. | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" Yes. the AN/Es are on my "someday, hopefully" short list.And Dodgealum, I have listened to Daedalus speakers several times, as you know. I admire them greatly, but I've never been smitten by them. Which is not to say I wouldn't be if I had them at... |
