| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Matt...Your description of the sound of Mac players, particularly their easy to listen to quality, coincides with what I'd be interested in. There appears to be very little in the way of Mac cd players currently listed for sale here on Agon, so I ... | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control I have monoblock amps with their own volume controls. Speakers are 91db. Previously had the old Marantz 63 Special Edition cd player with volume control & analog output connected with no gain issues. | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Is there a basic Oppo cd player(without video functions)that might have what I'm looking for? | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Zd542: Good question. Frankly, I'm not really sure. Maybe it's my ignorance regarding some sort of lingering prejudice about "digital artifacts". What do you expect from an old, dyed-in-the-wool analog fan ;-)? | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Thank you, Matt. Before anyone else plans to respond, I would just like to add I want to avoid any cd player whose sound is sharp edged, bright, biased toward the treble range or overly analytical. | |
| What the best 89-90 db speaker I can buy for 3k? Schubert: When I had to downsize from my Dunlavy SC-4s I really had very little idea as to where I should go. Like you, I'm up there agewise(just had my 70th)and it has been many years since I've had to face the prospect of looking for a new speak... | |
| What the best 89-90 db speaker I can buy for 3k? I had to downsize from big speakers. I also listen to classical only. Consider the Kef Q900(91db)for $1798 a pair. VERY nice. | |
| JPS Superconductor 3 vs Inakustik LS-1603 Sorry, I read OP too quickly. Meant to say the cable itself was not "hard as steel". Never any problem adjusting it, though I would have appreciated a bit more flexibility. Otherwise, my listening impressions still stand. | |
| JPS Superconductor 3 vs Inakustik LS-1603 For several years, the JPS Superconductor 3 has been my speaker cable of choice. It has never sounded "hard like steel" in my system. I agree entirely with Jwpstayman's description of its sound. If you seek a truly warm sounding cable, the SC 3 wi... | |
| What is your preference, Records or CDs? All technicalities aside, I find analog more listenable and more enjoyable. | |
| B&W 803D and Parasound Not sure if your 803s are new or relatively new. I've read a number of comments from those who claimed these speakers sounded harsh/bright when new or relatively new, but once burned in this impression went away, and the sound became very listenab... | |
| Jolida JD-100A cd player--Impressions? I don't mind a warm analog balance, and giving up a bit of "dynamic oomph". Have also done a fair amount of experimentation with pcs and ics. Kind thanks, fellows. Anyone aware of dealers who are amenable to in home auditions? | |
| HELP - Sweet, silky smooth cables: Jena Labs/Jade My thread from 2/24/10--Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound--might be helpful. | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I explained in a previous post how adjusting the motor controller for accurate speed by flipping its switch up or down very quickly, checking the KAB strobe for correctness and then using the other switch to lock in that speed got the job done for... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I've had the same experience as Downunder, only with the Raven One---solid speed,as verified by the KAB speedstrobe. While I'm getting full bass also,I don't sense it is slow, but rather more like the kind of presentation I've heard in a number of... |
