| CD Player Recommendations… @dabel, the Genesis Digital Time Lens of a long time ago was a re-clocker, wasn’t it? I sold one for a friend a few years ago. I remember reading that it was a significant improvement having it inserted into the system.I passed on the CXC today,... | |
| CD Player Recommendations… Orfeo - if I stay with Meridian for a CD player, it would be something in the 5 series to match my 551 integrated and 504 tuner.dabel - Gene, I’m very seriously considering a Cambridge CXC right nowsbaik - Sean, interesting commentary on the Merid... | |
| CD Player Recommendations… Hi,I’m also in the market for a CD player, haven’t owned that many of them over the years. Here’s my cd evolution for the most part:AMC CD6 (1 bit player)Proceed PCD2 (shoulda never sold)Audio Alchemy DDS3Oppo DV 970 (owned the longest)Rotel RCD8... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use gsm - I got the Audio Refinement Complete for a friend who was looking for a good int amp as a present for his father in law. I got to audition it for about a week before I gave it to him, and man was I impressed! Ran super cool and areal pleasu... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use kdveteran - first & foremost - Thank you very much for your service! My Nephew was at Ft. Benning several years ago, I believe before being deployed to Afghanistan & then later at Ft Bliss.jjss49 - excellent post; couldn’t agree more with ... | |
| British Integrated Amps Never had any Naim gear before, although it looks awesome. I’ve only ever heard the Nait 3, cd3, and CDX. The Nait 3 had trouble with Epos ES11’s in a large room, not a good pairing for a large room. The CD players were phenomenal.Ended up get... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt So many great amps listed in this thread. I’m about to move overseas in just under a month so now I’m on this shoe box sided British integrated amp phase and have had an Onix OA21s & OA 20/2 which were both excellent mid 80’s amps.Now I have ... | |
| British Integrated Amps The knock against the Acurus DIA100 on audio review was that it tended to sound bright. I’ve never experienced that but several others have. So knowing that, I would not pair it with a bright sounding speaker, or one that has an aluminum or metal ... | |
| Universal remote for Linn??? Correction, this Passion-Electro remote from overseas, that was selling in Italy & France, does work the Linn Majik I (orig shoe box sized) in volume, balance, & source selection. Takes some monkeying around first.If it’s on TV, then the ... | |
| British Integrated Amps Calvin, Interesting commentary and thank you for the post. I had a Creek 5050 many years ago after a 3-4 year sabbatical from audio when my daughter was born. It was pretty nice but I was greatly more impressed by the Creek 4330 that I had years... | |
| Universal remote for Linn??? Hooray! So glad I found this thread! I just got a Linn Majik and ordered a remote for it from Italy. The remote arrives today, only it doesn’t work on the Linn at all; instead, it changes presets on my Meridian tuner. Go figure.So when I read ... | |
| British Integrated Amps Thanks mr_m, but I’m fancying these shoe box sized integrated because I’m moving overseas soon and just like the form factor of them and the fact that they are so good sounding and don’t take up lots of room either.I had a good lead on an Onix OA2... | |
| British Integrated Amps Well, I ended up picking up a shoe box sized Linn Majik I and so far so good. It’s very smooth sounding, I like it’s aesthetics and ease of operation. It doesn’t have a phono stage but I’ve read the ones that do have crosstalk with the built in ph... | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) I currently have the Acurus DIA100 mkI partnered with Monitor Audio R700MD’s and I completely disagree with those above who said the mkII is bright. The mkI, or at least my mkI, is in no way bright sounding at all, (although, I have read that sou... | |
| British Integrated Amps Great thread! Thank you all for your comments & posts!I’m moving overseas in a few months so the idea of a shoe box sized dual voltage Brit int w/phono stage is very appealing right now.I now have an Acurus DIA100 w/Monitor Audio R700MD & ... |
