| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Hey David, good to hear from you. I recall you were a fellow Temptations owner before you switched to the MBL's....hope you are enjoying them. I got close to switching out the Temptations as well, but took a pause as I knew I'd be moving shortly (... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Dotsystem,Good news on the 3.0 burn in. Thanks. As I don't have the Isotek disc yet I'm using track 19 on the Stereophile disc 2 (MATT track) to help along the burn-in.Thanks also for the comments on the room treatment. I know Alex uses the TChang... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Phaelon, good comment. Live music is and always should be the ultimate benchmark by which all systems are compared. I listen to live music 1-2 times per week and I would be the first to admit that it still trumps my system and I have a dedicated d... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Ggil, thanks for the comments. And yes, I'm running the 3.0GO directly into my amplifier using the built-in volume control. I don't have a vinyl rig anymore so this approach works great for me. When you consider what a top shelf CD player and pre-... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player John, really excellent review of the 2.5T! Been too long since I logged onto Audiogon and just came across this thread.

| APL NWO2.5 ? Steve, congratulations on getting your NWO2.5! I'm very happy for you and know your delight will increase considerably once you get 150 - 200 hours on it. I continue to love my NWO2.5 and will be posting a detailed review on it shortly. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Guido, Picking up on Alex's post, I've done a lot of experimentation over the past 2 years on the entire power delivery chain from the panel including wiring, outlets, power conditioning equipment and especially power cords. Specifically, I have o... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Audiosu,I owned MIT Oracle v1.1 cables. I would encourage you to try Alex's silver minimalist cables as they are excellent. Just start with one, e.g. the CD player to pre-amp interconnect.Happy Listening,Earflappin |
