CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Math is right, sentence structure is so so.  The MF CD PRE24 is 15 years old, which is old for a CD player and frustrating that you can not get a new replacement drive for it.  I believe the Nu Vista from that time uses the same drive.  Not that c... 
NuForce STA 200
I have the CDA 250 and love it.  So, that would be my vote.  I have a working ADCOM GTP 500 II (with the remote) that I do not use anymore.  If you send me your address (private message), I will send it to you free of charge.  You would use this a... 
NuForce STA 200
Hi Justin -The thing with the Adcom GTP 500 and 535 is that those pieces are almost 30 years old.  They are most likely due for an overhaul, so you would not be saving money in the long run.  I would still recommend the Class D audio (CDA250).  Th... 
CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Hi Rlb61 -There were always 'proceed with caution' warnings with the lens cleaners, but the SONY product seemed well reviewed and I figured what the hell.  I had probably played the CD several dozen times with no issues.  In any event, it worked. ... 
NuForce STA 200
Hi Justin -You need to chill my friend.  Based on your last post, you are jumping from amp to amp, being turned around by a low price, and you seemed determined to only buy used from local sellers.The Nu Force is a well regarded and reviewed amp. ... 
CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Funny enough ... I have a MF CD PRE 24 from 2003 and the laser started speeding up the playback of Paul Simon's Live Rhymin' for the first time ever a few weeks ago.  No other CD was misplayed.  No other CD player misplayed the Paul Simon disc.  I...

Hi Justin -I own the Class D Audio CDA 250 amp that you are referring to.  I purchased it about 6 months ago and could not be happier with the amp.If you are in this hobby for any appreciable time, you will research at some point the different cla...

NAD C338 or Marantz PM6006 or Cambridge CXA60. Please Help
His name is Kevin Deal and he is a respected audio dealer and the man behind Prima Luna tube amplifiers.  I have been dealing with him for 16 years.  He stands behind his products and knows his stuff.  He is a character though.So, you own a $300 a... 
NAD C338 or Marantz PM6006 or Cambridge CXA60. Please Help
The Outlaw does have some size to it, I have to admit.I like the looks of the NAD C 368, but I am blowing your budget up a bit, as it goes for $900.  Sorry.For fear that I am adding to the mental calculus of buying an amp, I forgot that I just pic... 
Nuprime
When I look at how my systems are laid out, I wonder if I am a contrarian or crazy or both.  All to say I had been using a tube power amp (Prima Luna PL5) with a solid state preamp/ cd player (Musical Fidelity CD Pre 24) for 12 or 13 years.  The r...
