| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? How much time will it take to upload 7,000 CDs? That maybe the bigger issue. | |
| Types of Audiophiles Those are original Legacy Focus, usually available locally for $2,500. | |
| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? I tried six or seven coax cables as well. The worst was the entry level Synergistic Research Foundation. Warm, dynamic but had a very weird frequency response, lacked depth, just weird. However, their AtmosphereX Euphoria cable at 3X the price ... | |
| Types of Audiophiles @grannyring Well, I am a professional husband. My wife wants for nothing (except more vacations). She retired 5+ years ago and I made her an offer when we married, she continues her professional work or takes care of our home (cooking, shoppi... | |
| Types of Audiophiles @larsman I don't know about that statement. I've made about 200-250 live event recordings at major symphony halls and smaller locations of orchestral, chamber and choral music. As well as at many other recording sessions. I know what they sound... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? My best friend just sent me another transport only unit to consider, the NuPrime CDT-10 for about $2,250 weighing in at 9.9 lbs. What I find disconcerting is the conversion of the initial data stream is achieved by up-sampling to mega hertz befor... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System @emrofsemanon The one problem you prefer eliminating is utterly non-harsh with any bad recording. Unfortunately, I have some 78s, LPs and CDs which have terrible sonics and great performances. Harshness is more common among my pop and rock CDs d... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @arcticdeth Thank you. I tried a Pioneer elite dv-59avi as a transport after upgrading caps in 2020. It was mediocre as a CD player and transport. Just one of 15+ transports I tried from the PS-Audio down to the Cambridge (Pioneer was slightly ... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @charles1dad Thank you for your knowledge. I didn’t know anything about the Project transport mechanism which apparently is used in three high cost (high end) units. The primary reason that my extreme modified Arcam Delta units sound good is thei... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @charles1dad Thank you. Have you heard the Jay’s Audio CDT3Mk2 or Mk3? How does it compare with the Project is what I want to know. For a short time, Steve Guttenberg/Youtube preferred the Project to the CDT2Mk2, then did a newer video just extoll... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System My living room (2nd system) has a $5,000 system comprised of older equipment and modified equipment and is digital only/tuner too (my wife can use it. I am now posting my 2nd system profile. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @vthokie83 @mitch2 @charles1dad I an considering the Jays two transports as well. The digital cable is also important to consider in separates. Not just any cable will do (unless maybe it's a balanced digital cable). The Project transport is... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System @kota1 Yes, it may not be worth $1 million even if it cost that much. I've heard at least a dozen near and over $1 million systems at shows and at an audio store. Only ONE type was worth it to my wife and I. Also, many about 50+ reviewers/criti... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? My secondary system cost $5,000. Legacy Signature IIIs, a highly modified Dynaco Stereo 70 (voltage regulated not ultralinear now), custom subminiature pre-amp, Kyocera 310x (upgraded caps), Grover Huffman Empress cabling and a Synergistic Resear... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? My main system cost about $70,000 with lots of gear (78s TT, DAT, R2R, CD mastering deck, multiple amps and pre-amps). My cables cost about $5,000 (7 power, 7 ICs, digital, speaker cable). My room cost $150,000 custom built for listening. (You can... |
