CD Transport
Try to find a Proceed CDD. It is great and is all that the levinson is without the huge price tag. Madrigal uses alot of the same components that the levinson has without the heavy case. Cosmetically not as solid, but still classe A 
The best and worst Audiogon poster's

Get a good turntable and cartridge and hear Analog! Wait until digital gets figured out(years) and spin some records.

Viva la Vinyl!!
ANYTHING by Classic Records is great, and their 45 RPM limited stuff is un real! Miles Davis Kinda Blue for sure. Learning that Dead can dance, Yellow, and Bjork is great stuff. Anything done By Roger Waters also.\ Peace, soundnught

I haven’t had the chance to hear the SACD, but I have HAD a HDCD Madrigal Proceed CDD/DAP. The thing sounded great (I thought until I had the chance to audition a REAL analog set up) I was so impressed with the sheer silence of the background and ...

I have tried the turning of the unit and placement away from the television, still a problem (with different cables.) I will try the 3-2 prong method and see if that helps, also, no cable tv, just DSS. The buzz also presents itself when another tr...
