| Looking for a CD player I believe keeping your player and purchasing a DAC is the way to go. Check out MHDT DACs as one possibility. The Orchid is a little over your $1000 budget but is well thought of. Check it out on this forum. | |
| Anyone tried the Denafrips CD transport? Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your thoughts as the Avatar breaks in. | |
| Speakers for Pro-ject Debute Carbon DC with 2M blue Great idea not to be in a hurry. Get to know your new components while exploring music. Get back to us when you feel it is time to purchase a integrated amplifier. Given you have the Mani you will need a line level one only. | |
| Integrated Amp or Separates for Vandersteen 1'cs Given your situation I would lean toward a integrated amplifier. I have not heard the one you have listened to but have heard that the Belles Aria is a good match with the 1Cs. Given your room size and listening levels you do not need more than 50... | |
| TOSLINK OPTICAL cables The Glass optical cables are glass and very inexpensive. Lifatec is also a good glass optical cable somewhat more expensive however still good value. I used both for video side of my system, coax for audio. One needs to be a little more careful ab... | |
| Converting two-car garage to listening room. What would you do? Build a rectangular room interior to the garage having length 1.9 times and the width 1.4 times the exterior wall height. Put a ceiling on this room.You would not have to remove garage doors and would have storage space between room and garage doo... | |
| Inexpensive CD Transport... I own the CXC. Works well for me. The Audiolab also is highly thought of. I think it depends on which type loading mechanism you prefer. The CXC is very well built. | |
| Speakers for Pro-ject Debute Carbon DC with 2M blue Congrats on your speakers. I believe they are fairy easy to drive so you won't need a great deal amplifier power to drive them. I noticed a Cambridge Audio receiver on sale for $225 here on AG. Under the amplifier section. Looks to be a good deal... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 Check out Aric Audio. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Now that you have rearranged such that your speaker placed along the short wall I agree that the reflection points along the long walls are the 1st place for treatment. I made DIY panels from ATS Acoustics. They have a nice web site. They served m... | |
| Anyone tried the Denafrips CD transport? Panasonicst, I am very interested on your thought once you have spent time with the new transport. | |
| Looking for a CD player +1 soix. I would purchase a DAC. $1500 can purchase a very good one. I own the Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC. It is R2R with a tube output stage. Basic model sells for $1500. In stock form it is very good. It can be upgraded at a later date. USA m... | |
| Qobuz through the Marantz CD6006 I agree with mahler, if you are bypassing the Apple DAC. | |
| Better Integrated Amp? I am somewhat confused. So you have a TT right? And the cost of that, I believe was 350, is to be included in the 1000 pound budget. If correct, you have 650 left.You have a modest sized room so need to be thinking about speakers that are easy ... | |
| The anachronistic CD Transport? And do I really need one. Congrats on your new transport. |
