| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? I would take your old CD player into a (several) store(s) and AB it with newer models, or if possible, ask to demo new models in your home with your own system. There have been a lot of improvements in DAC and filtering technology over the last tw... | |
| Speaker recommendations for NAD OK, birds have nothing to do with it. I meant "fouling". | |
| Speaker recommendations for NAD First, whatever speakers you choose, isolate them from the wooden cabinet with Bluetack or some other material/method. I would also isolate your amp and especially your source from the cabinet to keep vibrations from the speakers from fowling the ... | |
