| Goodbye CD's Tboooe, That's the point of backing up, if one goes, it's backed up on another drive. For backing up, just use an inexpensive USB drive. If you are paranoid, backup on 2 drives. :-)I had one died but it was backed up so no big deal. Now my music i... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Dragon_vibe, What's the status of your AtmaSphere MA2? How do they work in your hot humid climate? | |
| Goodbye CD's #3 - you never know if your hard drives are going to fail and you lose all your digital music. At least with the actual cd you can always rerip.Just back up your music? Just drag and drop if not automated. External USB drives are cheap. 1 TB USB 3... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? I have a glass or 2 of Merlot, Cabernet or Shiraz with dark chocolate every night. If my system is on, it does enhance the taste and mood. | |
| why do cd players "sometimes" not read a disc? Czarivey, one of my USB external drive died but luckily it was backed up. It cost $89 so no big deal but if a CD player drive dies, a different story. Back up your music! | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports What Krell model that was ?KPS30i. After 3 or 4 new replacements, Krell ran out of transports and gave me KPS 30i replacement. I forgot the model but 1st one had transport issues and I traded in the 2nd one. Too bad ... they sound fantastic. | |

| Bridging EAR 890's EAR=Ridiculously overpriced equipment. Same as Music First Audio passive preamps. Sound great, but better can be had for less....much less.Then don't buy it!Knghifi, I bought my first EAR product brand new. It was Tim's 834 integrated and it retai... | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports You are talking about Philips SACD drives. That is a very different design, which indeed was problematic. On the other hand, the CD-Pro2 discussed in this thread, is very reliable. NO I'M NOT. I'm talking about Philips CD drives.Phillips Pro trans... | |

| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Abruce, is it French for "Bendix tubes are fabulous"? Agon is so educational. | |
| Aerial 7T/6 vs Vandersteen Quatro/Treo/2Ce Sig II Good call. No one uses socks to tune speakers anymore. They probably didn't even wash them with the special soap for best thread consistency. Vandersteen gives you much better setup options. Why don't you go over and remove the socks, position the... | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports Melbguy1, I respect your decision. We all have our preferences unless constantly shoving it and needing confirmation of their decisions from others.If you plan to like you cd player, I suggests buy spare transports for backup. Good luck! | |
| Krell Cipher Issues? My guess is problem with the transport? All my Krell cd players had problems with the Philip transport. I lost count but had 4 or 5 new replacements and last working long enough, I traded it in.It's too bad, they make great sounding units. | |
| Bridging EAR 890's I HOPE your getting a good deal on the 890. I think it's a crime how Tim jacked up the prices on his stuff over the years. As a former EAR owner of Tim's cd player, integrateds and stereo amps, I will say that his stuff is very good but ridiculous... |
