| budget cd player I went to audition some CDPs today, here is what I found :The local market does not have lots to offer in my desired price range.I got to try Cambridge Audio 640c V2, Nad 525 and 542, Rotel 1072, Marantz 5001 and Arcam cd73.I managed to listen to ... | |
| Burr-Brown vs Wolfson Mrtennis,Of the CDPs I auditioned today, the ones that I liked most ran the Wolfson : Cambridge 640c V2 and Arcam cd73.They sounded different from one another but I prefered both over the Burr-Brown equiped Rotel 1072.Reubent : I now understand --... | |
| Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair Look for Ben Monder.Exceptional phrasing, great sound.Especially when he plays with Theo Bleckmann (awsome vocalist, I never heard a guy with such a range -- and able to go along Monder's phrasing)."Oceana" is good. "No boat" is even better. | |
| budget cd player Bonmanp : I really nead a transport because the Toshiba 3990 stops between every track. It is impossible to listen to most of my cds.VLAD1456 : I am reticent to buy used. Mainly for the garanty. Also because most sellers on Audiogon won't ship to ... | |
| budget cd player Mrtennis : of course I can't go wrong with better equipment.The choice I am about to make has been awaited for too many years already. Plus, I will not upgrade the rest of my system for many more years and it is not that great (yes, its an euphemi... | |

| Few problems on "new" tt No mistake : I can not assume it in good shape, and I don't have the tools to set it right (yet). So 'as it is', yes, it might be in a shape to kill both my anthusiasm and my records.But I do not intend to run it like that way.I have pretty much m... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt Thank you for that last bit of information on LP wear.I've been recomended a Grado Black cartridge, but other told me it might be a little too heavy for the already heavy SR-222 arm wich is said to weight 11 grams... ( + 5.5g for the cartridge, wi... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt Would you please explain how it could kill my records?I thought that a correct cartridge with a good stylus and all this properly tuned could not arm my records... Seems I am misting, but I do not see where. I would really like to know.(I'm almost... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt John, you posted your reply as I was writing mine : here's to you :I did not spend a dime in that repare, and would'nt have considered paying no one to work on that old thing. Hey, if it is'nt worth that much, it's my chance to work on it with ver... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt OK!Thanks for those constructive answers.Since I did not know exactly where to look and since everyon told me the thing was about due for the dump, I did what the self-learned mechanic I am always did to learn how things work : I pulled the whole ... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt Nope.I wont cheer with that.There is obviously something wrong with -- else than "it's just not good enough". Any 5 bucks-garage-sell-turntable would sound better than that, so "throw it away" is to me either an inconsiderate or snobish answer (yo... | |
| turntable location problem Update : I found a way to have it at the end of a 4 foot cable...Could then be on its own rack. I have something nice in mind.How long an interconnect cable is to much?"at the entry level that the Sansui is" --> what do you think of that tt? I ... | |
