| Memory Lane and Lust/Looks...even somewhat strange ones.... I have several CD players but one of my favorites is the Consonance 5.0 Droplet. I bought it because it looked so cool...the sound was a bonus. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Natalie MerchantJoni Mitchellk.d. langI also like Janis Ian. Her albums "Breaking Silence" and "Revenge" are both great. | |
| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. Two of my favorite vintage, don't-miss movies are "Random Harvest" and "The Shop Around the Corner." Neither will change your life, but you will remember them for a long time and recommend them to others. | |
| ? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these I bought a Pioneer PD-65 CD player (with Stable Platter mechanism) from a liquidator for around $275 about ten years ago. I thought it was a great transport, and sold it for around $350. You can find Pioneer Elite BDP-09 FD Blu-ray Disc Players (M... | |

| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. A few of my favorites are "Hoosiers" (with Gene Hackman); "The Verdict" (with Paul Newman); and "Jerry Maguire" (with Tom Cruise). I believe you would find many vintage movies you would like on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) channel. | |
| DAC vs Tube CDplayer What a ridiculous post! I’m an old guy too, but I would hesitate to criticize products that I haven’t, at least, tested. Your statements make NO sense. Just because you didn’t "fall for the stand alone DAC thing" doesn’t mean it isn’t valid. I did... | |
| Your thoughts on a phono step-up transformer? I'll retire this thread by saying that I finally settled on a brand new Denon AU-S1 step-up transformer. I bought it from The Music Room. They are very easy to deal with and I recommend them highly. The sound of the step-up was just what my system... | |
| Ultradisc II 24kt Gold CD Resurfacing? FWIW, my Cat Stevens 24Kt MoFi Ultradisc was cracked from the center to the CD edge. Not wanting to give it up, I laid it out flat and put a thin line of superglue along the crack. A few days later, after it had dried thoroughly, I played it on my... | |

| Selecting used Stax phone and amp dbphd,Today (9-24-20), there is a Stax amp (T1) and Lambda headphones available (not mine) here on Audiogon for $1,550. If you haven’t bought a pair yet, then these are for you! Take a look! The only thing the T-1 lacks are balanced inputs. That's... | |
| Your thoughts on a phono step-up transformer? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and recommendations. I’ll give them some thought, and probably make a purchase in the very near future. The vintage MC cartridge I referenced in my posting is a Benz Micro Reference. If you have any further thought... | |
| Is Anyone Else Not Being Able to Stay Logged in? Funny you should ask. I have to log in each time I visit this site. It used to keep me logged in automatically. I blamed my wife, but I'm rethinking it now that I have read this thread. | |
