| CD transports; do they really matter From my personal experience. I had been using Arcam 192 CD player, not too shabby in its days, as a transport with Denafrips Ares II, it was big improvement over Arcam inside DAC. Then I bought Cambridge CXC transport and the improvement was reall... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Switched from 2M Black to Hana ML which I think is much more relaxed, still detailed and melodic but not as aggressive as Ortofon. Overall much better experience for me. There were few recordings i.e.. Tina Turner's What's love got to do with it, ... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Allegedly Rega Carbon is AT3600L, which could be purchased for half the price of Carbon. Just saying. | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? If , after swapping channels at the cartridge, the silent channel moved to the other one, that is the proof that the catridge itself is faulty | |
| Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML I had switched from 2M Black to Hana ML and noticed quite a difference. Ortofon sounded harsh and sometimes annoying to my ears. Hana is, as some described, LUSH, very relaxed and still detailed. Much more pleasant to listen to in my book. | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? Based on my experience, you will hear substantial difference. I had switched from Music Hall 5 to Marantz TT15S1 transferring Ortofon 2M Black from one to the other. All other system components the same. The difference was huge in every aspect of ... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. Diana Krall "A case of you" from Paris concert, amazing in my book. | |
| Transport needed ! I second "chayro" suggestion. From my experience: used Arcam CD192 as transport, tried Denon DVD 5910 as transport, none of them sounded as good as Cambridge CXC paired with Denafrips Ares II.Just saying. | |
| Mystere tube cage Well, since it is common knowledge, and my experience, that equipment turned on for longer time sounds better, I am pretty sure that the temperature is behind it. Hence my train of thought, however flawed may be, that increasing the temperature sl... | |
| DVD Player output lowrider57 -There is only Digital Out (PCM/Bitstream) Coaxial or Optical.nekoaudio - That is what I am hoping, thanks. | |
| Low output vs. high output cartridges Thank you all for responses. I am aware of technical differences between these two types. I have Hana MH and like it very much, however I find its presentation of vocals little bit "recessed", very clean and detailed but recessed, eg. Knopfler beg... | |
| This Equipment Recommendation Actually Worked Out Well! I had my Amp, DAC, Transport and Phono stage all plugged through Hydra. Yesterday DAC and Phono were connected through suggested transformer. Well, I can not agree more with foster_9, that is exactly how I would put in words my impressions. I thin... | |
| Dedicated transport or CD player as transport? I was using Arcam CD192 as a transport with Ares II and switched to CXC transport. Big improvements in every aspect, stage, details, "slam", etc. I do not think you will be disappointed, I have never looked back. |
