| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Rolling Stones “England’s Newest Hit Makers”. | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage I appreciate the responses. There are several brands I had not considered. I was a little surprised a couple of brands didn’t come up- Pioneer and Linn come to mind. Any thoughts on those? | |
| Why a dearth of some brands on the used market? One reason Transparent comes up for sale often is because of their liberal trade up policy. | |

| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Simaudio Moon 340i integrated, and 280D DAC/ streamer. Replaced a Peachtree Audio Nova 150 and a Bluesound Node 2 streamer. Huge upgrade, now I “need” to upgrade my speakers. | |
| marantz nd8006 vs Ruby vs n30 Nice system! Marantz Ruby is a sweet setup! Congrats! | |
| marantz nd8006 vs Ruby vs n30 I don’t know if I can help much. I am looking at the nd8006 also. I need a CDP, and streamer. I have a tube integrated on back order that should be here in a few weeks. New amp doesn’t have a phono Stage or DAC, my current one has both. I just c... | |
| Buying Advice Thanks for the input. It is another good option, it’s not at th top of the list. | |
| Opinions on system replacement Good point. That was my original plan! | |

| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 I have not made any improvements to my my CXC. Thanks for the suggestion. I am still in my 60 day trial period, and I keep going back and forth on whether or not to keep it. Part of it is just plain old vanity. I feel like I bought a Honda Accord,... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I have a couple posts in this thread stating I did not like my new Cambridge Audio CXC after comparing it to my Node2 streamer. I have since had a chance to listen and do a few more comparisons, and would like to retract my earlier statements. I h... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Apologies if you thought I was pushing a streamer instead of buying a CDP. My point was the sound quality of my streamer is significantly better than the CXC. I would like a CDP or transport that sounds as good as or at least greatly reduces the... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I am in the same boat and decided to try the Cambridge Audio CXC to go along with my Peachtree Audio Nova 150. I know I am in the minority here, but I am not impressed. There is no comparison between it and my Node2 streamer. It’s not an apples to... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 I feel like I’m missing something, I have had my CXC for a week. I’m not loving it. My Node2 streamer sounds so much better, I know it’s not apples to apples, but it’s not even close. I have a ton of cd’s and really wanted a nice transport to go w... |
