| New or Old CD Player? Thanks jafant! Here's my logic, since all players I've heard about I haven't heard. I'm buying blindly. 1. Marc Mickelson at The Audio Beat gave it a very favorable review. I trust Marc's judgement. 2. I own an AR Ref6 preamp. It sounds Great, esp... | |
| New or Old CD Player? FWIW, I've decided to buy a lightly used Audio Research Reference CD8. I buy quite a bit of used equipment. If I don't love it, I can usually resell and not get bitten too badly. I do want to hear a Hegel Mohican. When I find one at a discount, I'... | |
| New or Old CD Player? George, or anyone else: What do you know about a Naim CDS II with external power supply? | |
| New or Old CD Player? We ought to be on Broadway, Al. We’re hilarious! Posting this, using my smart phone. LolJohn | |
| New or Old CD Player? I will be 55 years old in September. I go to work. Half of my job is dealing with computers. Will not connect to internet. Over. And over again. Where is the Tech Support guy? Password. After password after Password. I can’t remember them all. Whe... | |
| New or Old CD Player? -yohimie- Do you live in Colorado? Lol Too many blunts? Lol. I get you. The music over hardware. But, for the most part, well chosen, more money buys better sound reproduction. | |
| New or Old CD Player? Hey George,I have never had the opportunity to hear a Linn or a Naim. I had an Esoteric for awhile. I found it both amazingly good, and too analytic. Is the Linn or the Naim more "analog" sounding?John | |
| New or Old CD Player? FWIW, I had an Esoteric K-03X for awhile.It was a bit too lean and clinical, IMO. I much prefer the T+A unit. | |
| New or Old CD Player? Thanks for the feedback thus far.I was quite specific in my question because I currently have both a Berkeley Alpha Ref 2, and a T+A PDP 3000 HV in my main rig. I don't intend to throw away my CD collection. I am looking for a one-box CD solution ... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 @stringreen Up until a couple years ago, I had an Ayre V-1xe. It was very musical. I'd argue that for around $4K, which is about the used price on this amp, nothing of current production could touch it. I've had to spend quite a bit more money to ... | |
| Aftermarket Fuses The 700+ post thread on Synergistic fuses was taken down for awhile. I now see it's back up with some posts removed.I currently have four aftermarket fuses in house: the Audio Magic Ultimate Beeswax fuse and the HiFi Tuning Supreme fuse, along wit... | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino @bar81 Yes, I did just buy a D'Agostino S-250. And I Love It!! The problem is I have friends. Lol One friend, in whose ears I trust says he prefers the VTL S-400 II over the S-250 on Wilson speakers. Then another acquaintance suggested that the ne... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Best DAC for Redbook reproduction? Berkeley Alpha Reference 2, with MQA upgrade. Best $20K ever spent. | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino In the next couple months, I plan to travel to Omaha, Nebraska to a long-term dealer called The Sound Environment. There I can hear and evaluate the difference in amplification between D'Agostino, VTL, and Gryphon driving Wilson loudspeakers. Wow!... | |
| Audioquest WEL vs Wild Blue Transparent. Great. Can't afford it. |
