| Audio Aero Dealer Advertising? It seems that Audio Aero's popularity and reputation have been spread mostly by word-of-mouth. Dealers seem to have found them at the shows like the CES and Stereophile HE Show etc. Even other really prestigious companies that don't make CD player... | |
| Which Golden Ratio??? .......Help Whoa, you must be single, right?You have an interesting room, so even if you do not have a wife to smack you down on this issue, control the urge to turn your room into a boring cubicle! Find your magic formulas and apply them, but they won't work... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel I've heard redbook versions of CDs sound way better on a top-quality CD player (usually a 24/192 upsampler type)than the SACD version on an expensive SACD player. The format is of no advantage unless you have a truly good quality player to transla... | |
| Incredible CD sound for $1500?? Audioengr says: "Nothing off-the-shelf will compete with modded Transports and DAC's.Typical engineer thinking, "Nobody makes anything as good as I can make it or modify it". What crap! I've seen a lot of modifications that screwed-up equipment an... | |

The CES hates that, but they are responsible for creating the conditions that led to the Rebel show...) Most of ... | |
| Classe CD-10 or Audio Aero Pirma? I've always read great things about the Audio Aero Prima here on Audiogon, far less about the Classe. Classe is known more for its big amps; they don't really have much of a rep. for making good CD players. They aren't in the same.....class(e) ;-) | |
| When to replace tubes on a CD player? Years? Not necessarily.....if the player is left on all the time, which is not unreasonable, if one wants to have the player warmed-up and ready to go all the time. 10,000 hours is about 14 months. | |
| speaker hiss with audio aero capitole mkII How old is the player? There are two 6021w subminiature tubes inside. If the player is more than about 18 months to two years old, those tubes may need replacing. They would not grow old at the same time (if you know what I mean) or in the exact s... | |

| Cremona Auditor, Decappo Or Proac 1sc? I've spent a fair amount of time with both the Proac and the DeCApo. The Proac is a better speaker, (partcularly in the midrange, highs and dynamically) but unfortunately your amp, contrary to what another poster said, will not drive them properly... | |
| Upgrade Path: CDP or Preamp In your case, the Denon has to go first. The source is more important. A better preamp would only let you hear how really bad the Denon is. | |
| Shanling CDT-100 Great or Bad ? You're talking in absolutes, asking if it's "great" or "bad". That's quite a range! Actually the Shanling is more middle of the road. But hey, it's pretty, and that's all some people care about. It looks good and impresses people who haven't heard... |
