Help Should I make this move?
Ohwy61, your feedback means a lot, but I think you're posting on the wrong site. Anyway, I think I can spin it so the Capitole is a gift for my wife, and it hails from France no less! As for you other two, yep, what was I thinking hesitating like ... 
First time for this, opinions please.
Who changes power cords with the unit powered on? Whether or not it caused the malfunction, that's no way to treat hi-end gear, or any gear for that matter -- he's just asking for trouble!I'd feel bad too, but come on! 
Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers?
Get the Rotel 1055. Looks good, sounds good, detachable power cord, well-made, better power supply (or so they say) in comparison to older models, remote is very nice. Look, if it was 7 years ago, I'd recommend trying to get your hands on the Cal ... 
CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K?
Resolution Audio Opus 21. Lots of info available here on this player. 
The best CD Player for the money
Jeez, this post is worn out, does anyone really believe people utilize this info to make a decision on a player? Maybe they did 4 years ago, yes 4 years ago when it started, but certainly not now! 
Cd player direct or through preamp?
Ah yes, the wife factor, making a decision on CDP with pre or without pre is the easy decision...convincing the wife, well that's where the real work begins. Good Luck! 
Review: DCM TF-350 Speaker
TF 350's were my 1st speakers. I bought them from a small hi-fi dealer in Duluth, MN while I was in college in 1993. I have fond memories of those speakers and loved them dearly while they were in my possession. I know DCM had a cult following-so ... 
Cd player direct or through preamp?
There's certainly been quite a bit of discussion on this previously. I would suggest doing a search in the discussion forums for: Resolution Audio Opus 21, which happens to be a CDP with variable out. And, I agree with Tom if you're simply going t... 
Need Help with "Burning or Recording CD's"
I've used several computer internal CDR/RW drives: 4 sony's in a desktop and now a DVD/CD/RW drive in my new laptop. I've never had a problem with recording music CD's. Disks have all turned out fine and I record all the time, so my bet is that so... 
Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302
Hey, since it's been about three months since the start of this post, hopefully you've decided on a CDP. If so, let us know what you got. If not, I also will put my 2 cents in for the Resolution Audio Opus 21. 
good DVD/CDP combo ?
Geoff-I advise you to check out the Denon dcd 2900 modified by underwood wally or underwood hifi available here on the Gon. I must say, the build quality of the Denon is exceptional and with the mods, you get a fantastic CDP in addtion of course t... 
Wadia 860, Levinson & Aero Cap Direct into Amp
I realize the Resolution Audio Opus 21 may be beneath most of you folks since it retails at $3500, but anybody know how it stacks up against the Capitole? Curious as I own the Opus and am looking to upgrade (when I win the lottery), possibly to th... 
Great cdp's with analog volume control?
I'll also advocate for the Opus 21. I've used the Cary 306/200 and Ayre CX-7 (both in need of pre's) and am very happy with my Opus in use of course w/out a preamp. I've also read/heard wonderful things about the Capitole (who hasn't on the Gon), ... 
Looking to better my redbook action....
Kurt-Where'd you buy the Opus 21 from? That's a great discount considering retail for this player is/or at least used to be $3500. Thanks Sam 
CD Changer, Carousel, oy HELP.
I own the Rotel RCC-1055 5 disc changer Upstate is referring to. It's a great changer with large power supply, detachable p/c, great looks, nice remote, and can be had in black. It sounds great/performs flawlessly. If you can come up with $1500, y...
