| Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072 Lets compare, say, the Cambridge Audio 740 against the Rotel RCD-1072. The Rotel sells for about $400 used, the CA sells for around $600 used, $800 new. These two units are ones that I have been thinking about for quite a while. I have not heard e... | |

| reliable changer mechanism needed Just wanted to let y'all know that the disc my changer jammed up on, GusGus' Polydistortion, is not scratched. We can all breathe a sigh of relief. | |
| reliable changer mechanism needed 4est - I want to get there eventually, but its just too expensive to do it right. What gear would you recommend?Sid42 - interesting that the 333 gave you grief, I thought these were some of the more reliable changers out there. Disappointing to he... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink I don't have the money to buy the gear I want, so I do a ton of research instead, and Lifatec has the best deal on glass toslink that I have seen. | |

The transport first has to decode the digital compression of the HDCD file on the disc, then send t... | |
| Parasound C/BD 2000 Belt Drive CD Transport Most of the DAC's I have been researching take high-resolution formats in the form of 24bit/96kHz over USB, using a computer as a transport. In all my research over the past few months, I have not seen a single outboard DAC that will decode SACD o... | |

| Still lost on my pre amp, can anyone help? "The 2 channel pre amp will not integrate a subwoofer. Do they make pre amps with more channels for this function?"Parasound 2100 and Emotiva USP-1 both have HT pass-thru and can run subs with variable crossovers. Anthem TLP-1 has HT pass-thru and... | |
