Why no threads on OTL amps?
Kris,A bit off-topic. Could you tell me more about Berning at Montreal show? I could not found any coverage about Berning anywhere so far, including commercial and personal show report, zero, nada. I wonder why? I intend to give it a listen and wa... 
Portable CD Player with Digital out
Buckingham, for those portable questions, you should visit www.head-fi.org. To answer your questions based on my limited experiences, SONY's DE7xx or better do have digital out. Most of Pana don't, in US market. But again, I would recommend simple... 
Digital Output on Cary 306/200 Problem
I never had a problem when trying out with external DAC from 306/200 as transport via coax. Have you figgled the digital output 96Hz button? Yup, left of upsampling button. 
personal experiences with quaility preamps...
I would get 2.5K nice used power amp and FT-Audio LW1 (passive controller). FT is a raved here and there $500 passive pre, and it it really a bang for a buck. www.ftaudio.com. If interested, email Paul there. Ken 
Attention Conrad Johnson Premier 11A owners
I have been using Sonus Faber Signum. Very good combination, I think. Sure, bigger SF must be nicer, but due to the size of my room, Signum is just fine. I am using Svet KT-88 now. 
5.1 to 2 Channel - Any compet. for Magnum MD-10
I know how you feel. I posted a similar question here and there, but no response. I guess NO ONE owns this.Anyway, I found the similar product from MSB. See www.msbtech.com for MDP-3X. More expensive than MD.But you know what? I am enjoying DVD wi... 
Attention Cary CD Owners
Never noticed it, either. Why don't you close your eyes when listening? Seriously, you can cover the unit with some cloth (relatively thin), even when playing. My universal remote (Marantz 2000) can penetrate it with no problem. Never thought it w... 
Difference between these really good CD players
Hi Kaneson,Well, in that case, make sure at least that you can trust your dealer after purchase (FYI, Cary CDP is actually "assembled" in HK, and maybe a good deal there). As to auditioning CD, I don't know your taste in music, but as a classic lo... 
Difference between these really good CD players
Umm, sorry if my words are not enough. What I meant was, if you were in US, US manufacturers are more accessible than European manufacturers, and it is more likely you can get faster and better service if something goes wrong. I have heard some ho... 
Difference between these really good CD players
I agree. You have to decide for yourself. I would also consider the manufacturer's responsiveness. No matter how good the products are, it would be the manufacturer's attitude, service, and accessibility if and when something goes wrong. In that s...

Upgrade for Cary 303?
Cary at least told me that upgrade from 306/100 to 306/200 would be $1000. 
Keeping PT combo, or buy new CDP???
Thank you both. I will definitely try EMC-1. BTW, have you tried PT combo? What do you think of them comparing with EMC or Cary? Ken 
EVS Millennium II Versus Bel Canto Dac 1.1
This is a very good topic indeed. I am interested in hearing the comparison, if any, between P3A and EVS, Bel Canto.I own P3A (Dan W. sig.) in combination with P1A -> FT Audio LW1 -> C-J Pr 11a -> Sonus Faber Signum, which is, to my ears,...
