| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Which reminds me, Telarc did something (not sure how they went about it technically) with old music rolls as well and so you can hear Rachmaninoff play his own work in the twenties. As I don't have the recording, I can't comment on the quality, th... | |

| Are there digital front ends with the body... In my own rig, AMR CD-77 fits the bill (although at $ 8.5k perhaps not what you meant by moderately pricey). Admittedly one third more expensive, there is YBA Le Lecteur CD1 Classic Sigma (or Passion 1000 which is the same player in a different ou... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Tidal Contriva speakers; sculptures that happen to do music as well (mine are in black)http://www.tidal-audio.de/english/startenglishprodukte.htm | |
| Power Conditioners/Voltage regularts for 230v Assuming you're not looking for a 230/110 voltage down-converter, in Italy locally made Systems And Magic Blacknoise leaps to my mind, the Miniblack comes in at EUR 225,- (in their online shop), but make sure whether it does all the things you wan... | |
| The Best of the Best Well sort of - CD players AMR CD-77A tad more expensive, but something you might prefer given the music you hear mainly: Burmester CD 061. To be sure, in my personal opinion, the AMR bested the Burmester by a comfortable margin but I mainly listen to small combo jazz, acou... | |
| Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used Thanks to everyone. Sorry if I left the impression that I dump my gear every couple of years. I owned my first serious speakers (Arcus TL200) for about 15 years myself. Only, I did have my doubts whether it is worthwhile to still buy components of... | |
| Has Anyone Heard the AMR CD-77 CD Player? Hi, I had the Jadis JD3 with its integrated DAC in my system for a few years. As with all Jadis, the JD3 is an incredibly melodious unit and at the time I bought it unbeatable for its price. Meanwhile the Jadis price tags have become quite hefty, ... | |

| What time do you wear? A fake Piaget until my 25th or thereabouts; thereafter none, and I hope I can keep it that way | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Hi Brian, Not so much on the AMR CD-77 but as requested here are my impressions of the PS Audio Power Plant Premier.I've gone through several sessions of comparison now. The power set-up of the system was as follows:1) without PS PPP: AMR CD-77 wi... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? I have been using PS Audio's Power Plant Premier for about a week now and have noticed that even after extended listening sessions, the AMR heats up considerably less than before. Interestingly, the Premier's display shows that the incoming voltag... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? I can put your mind at ease: it does warm up considerably, but most certainly not to the extent you describe if you give it the top shelf (for a top loader, I think that is what most of us would do) | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Hi Bob, since yesterday I am the proud owner of a CD-77. I had been looking to replace my Jadis JD3 that had been showing first mechanical signs of its age and had been auditioning a few machines in the EUR 10k-range including Burmester 001, DCS P... | |
