| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Boneman, thank you for your response and well-thought-out comments. Yes, I can get a feel for the sound based on what you've said. Glad to hear you are enjoying your silver discs so much. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love a 205.Tom | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @boneman73, I love my 103 and have considered the 105, now the 205. Are you able to give me any advice on the sound quality improvement?Thank you,Tom | |

| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? Dedicated room, dedicated line, acoustic treatment.No complaints. Been doing this since 1975, hands down best sounding system I've ever owned.@reubent , @rockadanny , room treatment. Had the same problems until acoustic treatment.Tom | |
| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? @geoffkait , @bdp24 Excellent points regarding polarity. Often overlooked. Wish more pre-amps and integrateds came with polarity switches. Tom | |
