| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News This 6000 has ~ 100 hours, so essentially new. I have been breaking it in with Isotec and XLO burn in discs to very good effect. Im very impressed, and especially for the money I will let my Marantz go to a new home just provide FedX pick up s... | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News @mahler123 Yeah, no longer made and the complete mechanism is $150+ shipping, so, no bueno I researched Audiolab CDT 6000, and found an awesome deal on AudioGon. It is truly amazing in my system. MSRP $620~ 650. The slightly used one <$... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with the LSA VT70? Thoughts, comparisons?? @mulveling Do you believe the many lies told every day in the MSM? There's always a fall guy | |
| Bought the Technics SL-G700 SACD Player I don't have one YET, but it is on my list to replace my Oppo 105 with modified power supply that I bought specifically to play SACDs. A couple things... XLR sounds much better with my 105, and likely will with yours, BUT, you need a true balance... | |

| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I sold my 2 SVS subs a couple weeks ago. Mostly a net gain, as they are designed for home theater, not hi-end audio. Shortly after I reinserted my Marantz HD CD-1 as a transport, instead of using my Oppo 105 digital out into my Audio Alchemy DDP-1... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby @dcaudio I hear you. I have made do with an Oppo 105 to which I upgraded the OEM power supply, the IEC, and a jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch. My intent was to simplify my digital playback, it CAN sound pretty good with SACDs, but many of t... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @jbhiller Try the LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp, afterwhich, you might be having a used amp sale | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @charles1dad Im sure there are sonic reasons to spend a lot more, and I did before I retired. The point I was trying to make is in the case of the transport is, according to the linked review, it serves up a lot of quality sound @ ~$700, allo... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 Jason, you are somewhat misinformed. I agree that $2K+ transports are too rich for many (including myself), but the following review holds great promise at a sensible price: I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to... | |
| Transports I have owned many transports, and players used as transports, over the decades. I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to the power supply and jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch). I play SACDs direct to my Audio ... | |
| CD transports I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to the power supply and jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch). I play SACDs direct to my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, but I use a Pangea XLSE digital coax ($169 from AudioAdvisor)... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player Decades ago, I had 2 CEC transports, which are great, BUT, the belt stretches over time and are unreasonably priced. I did some research and found a company that sells the same size for a fraction of the price. Moreover... Recently, I started inv... | |
