| trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD Tube CD is interesting, and can be good, but I find the most real sounding and very high build quality is in the Wadia, try what you can first, but with anything there is good and not so desirable with any type of equipment, build quality and soun... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit very interesting, problem is the Wadia is like a damn lockbox, can't get it open without some special tools, it uses a very off size like 2.5 mm Torx bit, which yes I can remove a few, but can't get the rest as it has some type of internal latches... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? out of all the players in the 1000.00 to 5000.00 range, WADIA is by far my favorite, super smooth 4 volt output on the RCA's vs. the standard 2 volt machines, built way beyond what you could imagine for a cd deck to be, and it is the fullest body ... | |
| Should I change my CD player ? Come from within? Oh like a cheap cd changer, so when you don't like how it sounds just press a button and go to a better recording :) Just kidding | |
| Should I change my CD player ? Going from the wadia its hard to get something better, its all got to do with the flavor you are looking for. If you want less definition go to something softer ie. tube cd player, if you want more analytical and flat go to sony, but wadia is dead... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit I have a couple marble tiles, that I put back to back weight around 10 lbs, they seem to do something decent, I have some isolation pucks that I set them on, but can still feel the top vibrate a little, so should I dump the pucks and go with a fab... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Sounds good guys, I'll take a look, yeah you can only do so much I know that, just want to do something rather than nothing you know what I mean? Thanks | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Tbg, what do you use? I'm not sure it is a bandaid, but unless someone builds a player with a 20 pound granite or wood lid in the first place, what is the fix for this accept moving the entire system into another isolated room from the one you are... | |
| Beginning the Analog Adventure Yeah keep the music hall for now and get a VPI 16.5 cleaner, that will be a far bigger improvement to the music than dropping anything less than probably like stated above about 3000.00 into a new table and cart. Also, the Mobil fidelity inner sle... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement No actually sorry, Not sure what that is. | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Well out of all the players in the 1000.00 to 5000.00 range, WADIA is by far my favorite, super smooth 4 volt output on the RCA's vs. the standard 2 volt machines, built way beyond what you could imagine for a cd deck to be, and it is the fullest ... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Actually I have giant solid maple cutting boards under the components, and it works perfect, if you see my original question at the top of the thread, 3" thick.... Thats what I originally asked to be honest if I should just go that route, but its ... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Interesting, I just don't have real options in placement, but I will first try a cheap bag of sand over the transport to see what happens, before investing in anything, just to know the effect, my system is fairly sensitive no doubt to changes, it... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Hmm, yeah Virtual mode looks good, I need power conditioning as well so maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. thanks | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Alright some good ideas here, but unfortunatly moving the rack is near impossible, not only due to the position in the room, but the cable problems that would occur. again it has never skipped or anything in this position, although I am sure putti... |
