| "BEST USED" CD player or players at about $1000 .Thanks to all who responded so far!!! GZ3827, Jdub39,...and Elizabeth.... What makes a used CD player more vulnerable to break down than any other audio component??. Turntable motors do not last forever; drivers and cross-overs can fail in even t... | |
| RFI noise/ FM overlay Any way to eliminate it? Thanks to those who responded so far. Mezmo, I wrapped the PC cord o the Jolida phono box in aluminum foil as instructed by a friend and also the pre-amp PC. Nothing was improved!! I should have saved the foil for Thanksgiving left overs. Al, I wa... | |
| Meridian 508.24 CD plyer. Is it really that good? Thank you to all who responded Happily, I followed your collective advice and passed on a mint/used unit at auction on e-bay. It sold for about $1331. Incredible!! | |
| Buying top brands's older CD players: Pros& Con Thank you all for your responses; I am throughly forewarned and decided to wait until I can afford something much better than the Apollo; A player that is a relatively new model and will have parts for possible future repair. Jim | |
| Equal or better than AZ's Hologram II spk cable Thanks to Tom and Phil.I currently use a Morrow IC between the phono stage and pre-amp. Sounds good. Never considered Mike's spk cable, but will check it out. I am unfamiliar with Audio Note products, but will look over their site and the Lexus ca... | |
| Is Ortofon "Salsa MC better than Dynavector 10X5? Thanks guys for the advice and comments. I would like to step up in sound, but will not spend 879.00 for the Dynavector X20 MKII. If I eventually retip the Dynavector 10X5 it will cost $365.which seems ridiculous. I don't like buying used cartridg... | |
| Ayre CX-7MP2 vs Rega Saturn.CD Pros and Cons?? CB, Thanks for the comments. The Ayre I indicated inthe thread is an upgraded version of your player with the obvious kudos of supposedly sounding better. I need a smoother top end which the reviews claim the Rega Saturn delivers over the Apollo, ... | |
| Ayre CX-7MP2 vs Rega Saturn.CD Pros and Cons?? Thank guys for the feedback. Chesebert: yes the Ayre model shown is current; I spoke to Ayre Central two weeks ago AND CONFIRMEDMrtennis. Yes it would be great to audition them SIDE BY SIDE but the Atoll I live on, Oahu, Hawaii has no high end dea... | |
| Is Ortofon "Salsa MC better than Dynavector 10X5? JG2, Thank you for the links; I think I am just "ansy" to try something different. I can always sell the Dynavector. The table was set-up by the dealer, though after revisiting his shop several times,I found out that his "technician" repaired esca... | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? Avs9 Sorry, I did not get back to you sooner. I did not go through with the plan to buy a vintage CJ pre-amp, or amp. I decided to buy the Bel Canto PRe3 which is very good. As Tonyjack mentioned in the last response, the Red Dragon M-500 digital ... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Rrog, I finally got to briefly listen to the Bose 301. The following report is the short (and only) version. Driven by a Onkyo surround receiver and matching CD player, I found the highs to be limited in detail, and also "tinny" sounding; however,... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Rrog, I am going to walk over to the Bose store tomorrow and give them a listen. However, when your friend commented that the sound was "big" "relaxed" and excellent imaging, those words seem similar to the way members describe the Ohm/Walsh Talls... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Rrog, Thanks for the heads up about the Bose 301; but I had my Bose moment in 1971 when I bought a pair of the original 501( two back firing tweeters and a ten inch woofer.) The low end from this speaker was the best I heard at the time, and overa... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Rrog, There was a used pair available as of 10 days ago, but the seller wanted $550.00 for them They are/were 10 years old and retailed at 995.00. That for me was not a good value. Even a reviewer I know claimed they were worth $300 used and no mo... | |
| Acoustic Zen Sun Rise Loudspeakers..any owners? I haved own a pair of AZ's Adagios for two years, and feel they are very good to excellent speakers, possibly the best I have owned. To be honest, I never knew AZ made a speaker called "Sun Rise" So I can't really compare them with Adagios.One thi... |
