Marantz HD CD 1 Awesome Transport
jafantThanks for the tip. I went to WW site: Looks like I do have the Electra 7 on amp, pre and HD CD 1. But now that the 8 series out, be interesting to hear how much better it soundsLast night I played Jennifer Nettles ’Playing with Fire’. I lov...

Ok, Zug asked about bass, well...When I was using the Oppo I had a WireWorld Eclipse Series 7 power cord ($300), which I left on as I wasn't sure whether I had resolved the skipping problem: seems like I did. ;)Carefully listening to Eagles Hell F...

Has the need to turn it off been resolved? That's a deal breaker for me

Apparently MSRP is $599. I may have paid as little as $400 for mineFYI: TMR is selling one. Here’s a bit of Marantz copy from their page Combining more than 30 years of Marantz expertise in compact disc playback with the latest developments in dig...

Really good news so far, no more skipping The difference is the Marantz has an astonishing black (quiet) background for the music to present itself. The pluck on strings has the appropriate instant awareness and tone, voice is titled more into the... 
Anybody upgrade their SVS PC 12 Ultra and/or Plus subs?
LOLI know Scaena Loudspeakers uses 4, but they are stacked 2 x 2I tried using one but 2 was that much better. Would 4 be? I likely will never know

SO.... after turning it upside down and gently shaking it, I just reinserted it. Fingers crossed that the skipping was due to a lodged sliver of NDMOnly been fired up for maybe 10 minutes played 2 cds, no issues so far. It is much more focused tha... 
Anyone have experience with the new ELAC DDP-2?
About a year ago I bought the DPA-1 first, then a couple months later the DDP-1, sans PS 5. It took 5 months to acquire a solo PS -5 direct from factory, as no one wants to sell it separately and WOW what an improvement the PS 5 made/makes.I am fe...

Currently out of the systemAfter adding Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter (highly recommended) the player started frequently skipping. No issues with my Oppo 105, so, probably just a coincidenceI was trimming the NDM while on the tray, and a sliver... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
erik, your main point makes perfect sense, and should regardless of new kit.I would not make a buying decision on a unbroken in product of any kind (what audiophile would?). While I currently enjoy my AA DPA-1, I also bought a pair of PS Audio M70... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
Not being familiar with the Luxman 507 ux  I decided to do a search (it's a integrated amp), but only found the latest version, the 507uxII. Positive Feedback reviewed it in September of 2018. This is what PF had to say> " L-507uXII is biased... 
"Dazed and Confused" about upgrading current speakers
I agree with mrdecibelFirst place to look after that is your cabling. WireWorld Series 8 is amazing.Both these companies offer a in home money back guarantee

audiofun. Thanks for your input, and behind the scenes insight.About a year ago I upgraded my Oppo 105 oem SMPS to a modified LPS from Ebay (~$130). To my ears it is a huge improvement 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
ERIC, my bugaboo is with certain review entities, specifically Srajan. As I no longer have an interest in non class D amps, and a keen interest in new class D, I suggested that in his Archives he put class D in it's own amp category. He basically ... 
2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :)
I didn't see you mention power conditioning or cables, both of which will make or break the realism of the soundSince WireWorld has recently introduced their series 8 , the series 7 Eclipse are a great used bargainCore Power Tech makes fantastic p...
