| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 @lordcloud Oh, that makes sense! Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Why do Cyrus get such praise from What HiFi??? I owned two pieces of Cyrus gear in the mid-90's. The integrated amp was pretty nice. Sounded really good. I liked it so much I decided to buy their CD Player (CD-1?). The CD player was a POS. The mechanism was very finicky and it would not r... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 I have no idea why this is even being discussed. My note about the color is simply related to aesthetics. I do not believe the finish on the hardware does anything to change the sound quality of the equipment in question. I prefer black because... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 @georgehifi I purchased a CDM-4 unit from one of the ebay links you sent. Thanks for providing this info. The unit arrived this week and I just have a question.Is the Jay's Audio unit a modified version of the Philips mechanism? The one I recei... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 @hrabieh In my experience the separate transport and DAC set up has always sounded better, but I'm sure there are no absolutes here. I have no experience with Jay's CDP-2 but I can imagine if it's built to the same standards as their transports i... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 @tooblue The DAC I'm using is the built-in DAC on my Lyngdorf TDAI-3400.I bought a AES/EBU digital cable from Audio Sensibility to link the two. @nonoise Thanks for the links. I will check them out. | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 @teajay Yeah, it's really great. This thing is built to last. Very impressed with it. It's odd that there is no instruction manual but honestly I think I know how to use a CD player at this point in my life. It's fun to spin redbook again!Hey,... | |
| Replacement thoughts on a ailing Meridian 588 cd player I just ordered a Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 after reading many glowing reviews on this site and other places. I will report my findings when it arrives in a few weeks. | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? Glad to hear you like your new rig. I almost ordered one of these. What put me off was the lack of reviews and overall information available about the Cocktail Audio brand. I called two dealers who sell their stuff online, and was surprised how... | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? In my opinion...not nearly enough.In my wife's opinion...way too many!But seriously, I have more records than I reasonably have room to store. I haven't counted but I think it's around 700-800 currently. I'm trying to reduce the number by sellin... | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums No one has mentioned Wilco - Kicking Television so I must do so.Great performances and really great sonics. Super quiet vinyl as well. In my comparisons between the CD and vinyl, the vinyl easily wins out. | |
| Cartridge recommendations Take a good look at the Lyra Kleos or Kleos SL cartridges. I just bought the standard version and really love it. Great reviews all around on this cartridge so read them and determine if it's the right direction for you. I previously owned a Ly... | |
| Stevie Ray Vaughn-"Texas Flood" MOFI SuperVinyl UD1S Received my copy today and can attest to what you wrote. It's really great! | |
| Slight increase of tracking force = Big Improvement As a side note, the SME tonearm is really great at locking in the VTF setting. Just flip the lock lever open, turn the small dial the direction you desire to reach your target VTF, and flip the lever to lock. I set mine at 2.0 grams a year ago a... | |
| Lyra Kleos or Kleos SL? @tooblue Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to order the standard version, after hearing that it offers better "weight of sound and dynamics" than the SL version.I imagine the SL version would be ideal for classical, jazz and vocal music, b... |
