| best cd player for 300-500 bux dude, weird. did you move your speakers? first thing I would check. are your speakers working correctly? try playing with speaker placement and toe-in.the cdp will automatically bypass the internal dac if you use one of the digital outs -- coax or... | |
| Tired of HT The more I read this thread, the more I think the OP just wanted an excuse/justification to build a 2 channel system. | |
| Tired of HT After all of the advice given the OP elected to go with 2 systems. His prerogative. One advantage of going with 2 systems may be that the 2 channel room and system is optimized for 2 channel listening. I wouldn't mind having a dedicated listening ... | |
| Tired of HT If you have the room(s) and the cash...go for it. It's a luxury to have both | |
| best cd player for 300-500 bux and to add, getting another player just for a removable power cord makes no sense to me. | |
| best cd player for 300-500 bux Or the MHDT paradesia DAC that seems to get raves anytime it gets brought up. it's on my demo list. I concur with getting an outboard DAC though. in your price range to get anything that has a chance of being an upgrade, that would be the way to go. | |

| Recommendation on IC's and speaker for this system I second changing tubes before anything else. Those were not good 7 years ago, and certainly no better now. Amperex is a good choice | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max CD No Longer made ? They are still fairly regularly available here, if you're patient they will pop up. | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max CD No Longer made ? Bill @ Morningstar (US Distributor) told me that he dropped the CDP due to the inevitable migration to server-based music (paraphrasing). I didn't think that was a very good or understandable reason, perhaps there is more behind it. Nevertheless, ... | |
| Tired of HT If you like your speakers (and you still want surround for movies), you could sell off your amp and pre/pro and replace them with a HT capable receiver (decent ones for $500 or even less), then save/spend on a capable 2-ch amp and preamp. Integrat... | |
| Convert speaker cables to interconnects? ? 47 Labs Stratos cable -- same super thin unshielded wire for both speaker and IC's. I have it, sounds great. One benefit is the whole system is connected with the same wire. |
