I want to re-introduce this subject.
Exlibris, I definitely understand the $17 question. With analog(pre-1982), we won't listen to songs/albums that lack artistic value. With digital, we don't listen to cd's/albums that sound horrible. It's a different situation to me. That's why, fo... 
I want to re-introduce this subject.
Thanks for all the ideas/help given. I don't have a remote, so volume involves a little more. I guess that I'm satisified with one volume that plays most cd's okay. My lp setup requires a much higher volume than cd, also. Do remotes have the same ... 
Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players
Mattkimb, thanks for the heads up about Eva Cassidy. My diatribe had to do with my getting two XRCD's on ebay. One was over $35, and I listen to $1.95 cd's from Rasputin's more. Divide 2 into 35. Sure some aren't worth listening to. I want to poin... 
The West Coast is currently blowing out other area
Lush, you are correct. I also want to promote the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910(my version-designed with analog in mind, and analog in comparison). You're gonna kill me here, but I think that I've been blessed in this area. I agree that it is all about wha... 
Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
I just want to say that Oritek X-2's were mostly designed with cd. So, if you don't need silver, I would suggest you investigate these for your cd player. Ori says that just having them in your system provides many of the benefits of these interco... 
The best CD Player for the money
As an analog lover, I still have to say that the APl Denon 3910(my version-meaning the one compared to analog and modified with analog in mind) is one that analog lovers should check out. I would only compare it to the $1000 Rega Appolo. If you co... 
has anyone heard the nuforce amplifiers
Can I thank Phd for his "sound" advice? 
Has anyone answered the real question?
Whart, are you sure music doesn't play through your head? What makes you run back to your system to listen to a certain song? I'm kidding, but really I'm not. Also, Guidocorona, I believe you might really be a composer of music. I just wish I coul... 
Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players
I didn't read all the responses. I came from analog(which I still have). My APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910(my version) did it for me. Yes, I've heard better, but better costs big bucks. I'de also like to voice my complaint against audiophile recordings. I'd... 
APL NWO2.5 ?
I do want to mention that I'm glad that Alex is going to redesign his site. I was thinking that people could help him in this area. His Forums are good, though. For those with less cash(who are reading this), his Denon 3910(my version) is unbeliev... 
APL Esoteric X-01
I don't have the money for the cd players talked about here, but I definitely would listen to APL's version. I'm the "When is digital going to get the soul of music" person. I really had no hope for digital, as I thought the medium was inherently ... 
The best CD Player for the money
I haven't read any of the responses, but I would compare the new Rega to the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910(my version). Although they are at different price points, I find the 3910(APL) to be superior to my $10,000 analog(circa 1992). Digital is so unusual... 
Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker
Thanks, paulhbenson. It looks like my bass drivers are as tight as they will go. Now, I guess I will look to bass traps as further improvements. I'm going very cheap here. One speaker is close to a corner. I've tried moving it away, but, so far, i... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Audiofeil, I might agree with you. The problem is sometimes with digital we accept less. As an example, I refer to my, "instant relaxation" statement. Audiofeil and D_edwards, we are all after music, aren't we? Surely, as talented as both of you a... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
Rauliruegas, it's too late on one thing(the shape thing). I didn't answer your whole thread. My preamp is the RGR 3 sitting on 2-inch Mapleshade with their rubber, cork, rubber footers. Amps are the Nuforce 8.5's, sitting on 4-inch teak and isonod...
