| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? I think your sort of asking the wrong question. Are there transports better than what you have? Yes for sure. As far as transports improving the pertinent question would be since when? And another pertinent fact CD replay is on the quick decline s... | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! @blueranger I would very much recommend for your continued good hearing not listening for hours at 100db. | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Keep an eye peeled for used Auditorium 23 cables they pop up from time to time. Interconnects typically $500ish speaker cables maybe $7-800. Great sounding cables. I can also highly recommend Audio Note Lexus copper cables. Hard to get used but ne... | |
| Aretha Franklin RIP One of the greatest vocalists of all time a true legend she will be missed. | |
| Is APower Conditioner For A Mostly Vintage System Worth Getting? Sure you can plug everything into it, since it's just a good power strip and not a conditioner it doesn't limit current in any way. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? @terry9 I have never been fortunate enough to use a CR-7a my decks were a DR-2 and a DR-10. I have no doubt a really high end deck would be a different experience. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? @lowrider57 I would personally never record with Dolby Noise Reductions it kills the high frequencies. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? The main difference between the two decks is the Deck 1 will let you adjust azimuth to fine tune the sound with each tape type. The DR-2 does not. Other than that they are pretty comparable decks the DR-2 being a bit newer has slightly better spec... | |

| Selling My DAC If your gear doesn’t sell you pay just the base listing fee not the percentage of the sale because there was no sale. Hopefully that makes sense. | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below Very cool I've been waiting! And Auralic does support Quobuz on it's Lightning DS app so I am all set there! I have to say though I am happy with Tidal and any issues with buffering are in the distant past. I hope there are some catalog difference... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall +1 on the Audio Note AN series great sounding speakers. | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @melbguyone I am with you there as much as I admire the big horns my 800 sq foot condo would be not be the place to own them! Cones and domes here too in the form of some Audio Note AN-Js.@jhills Yes the WE horns and reproductions can be rather en... |
