| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Same to you Jafant, and many more.Michael | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC I’ll definitely give them a ring first. I’ve made that trip enough times to do it again just for practice.. Come to think of it I’ve not been to Richmond since buying my Luxman 507 uX amp at Audio Exchange a year or so ago. I almost purchased a Ma... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Thanks for the heads up on the Audio Exchange having both the Luxman D-05u and Ruby. Maybe I'll take a drive up there to give them both a listen if they still do. It's a good three hour haul to get there but worth the effort. Did you happen to do... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Dave, thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry you had difficulties getting your Arcam repaired. I’ve had difficulty getting repairs done correctly on more than one occasion, which leads me to not want to take a chance on used equipment, or anyth... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Thanks you for recommending the Esoteric unit stereo5. I've added it to my list and have already read one positive review of it this morning.Soix, appreciate your thoughts on a separate DAC. I'm datng myself, but I know little about them, so will ... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC That's a good price you paid for your Ruby. I purchased some speaker cables the same way about a year ago, which was real risky and probably kind of foolish with the cable market being what it is. But luckily it worked out too. I don't know if I'... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Sebrof, how do you like your Marantz Ruby KI? What player were you using previously, and what differences did you notice once you upgraded. The price difference between the SA-Ki Ruby and the SA-10 is pretty significant at about $3000, so it would... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Thanks for the recommends on the Luxmans, twoleftears. I'll look up the three you mentioned. I imagine they would synchronize well with my Luxman amp. Some side by side comparisons would be helpful. Maybe I can find some reviews that do that.Mike | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Mahler, as I stated above "I purposely did not mention price point as I don’t know what price point would put the CD player into the performance range of the rest of my system components." I am hoping some of you could recommend models that woul... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Yes, it is. And I’d prefer whatever I upgrade to to have that capability also, even though I have no SACD’s to play. The Hegel Mohican I read only plays Redbooks CD’s for example, so that might, but not necessarily, rule that model out. Mike | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC I'll take a look at what Marantz offers Jafant. Thank you for the suggestion. I've not listened to other brands to appreciate the differences. If I remember I originally got the Marantz SA 8005 because it was recieving good reviews and Saul Marant... | |
| Fell asleep while TT was running with ortodoncia black cartridge! Thanks for posting your question teo_audio. I've often wondered would happen to my Ortofon 2M Black's needle if I didn't get the tonearm lifted right away after a record ended. I left it on for only five minute after a record had ended yesterday a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bill Evans "12 Classic Albums", a new arrival, so I’ve been working my way through them. Sam and Dave: "Hold On I’m Comin’ ", Mendelssohn Piano Trios, and The White Stripes "Elephant", an eclecltc listening day. Too cold to go out and split wood t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Got four new Coltrane CD's' via Amazon during the past week. Starting to listen to "Both Directions at Once" right now. The first two tracks are spectacular. Monk and Coltrane at Carnegie Hall was amazingly good too, and much better than expected.... | |
| Romex to your amp? Excellent post skipskip. I think you definitively provided the reason nobody should do this and why it is a code violation. In my case I never tried hardwiring my sytem into the Romex because it is a code violation, but I didn’t know why it was on... |
