| 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... | |

| Does anyone have any experience with the LSA VT70? Thoughts, comparisons?? @abd1 Since you are familiar with Underwood, and are interested in a more potent amp (845) I highly recommend you get a LSA Voyager 350, GaN amp, and it's on sale | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Morning Phil! FYI I should, could might.... finally get the EP 2.8s next week.

| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? Danny of GR Research fame has a YouTube channel, in which he upgrades lots of speaker XOs. It is amazing how poor the XOs are of many of the well known speaker companies. He offers upgrade kits as well as his own speaker designs | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News Marantz told me the mechanism is discontinued, but gave me the part number in case I could find one on line The entire mechanism needs replacing @ $150+ shipping, and I didn't want to spend that much to repair (it's available for anyone who provi... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) About a week ago I decided to reinsert my Marantz HD-CD 1, purchased to use as a transport and possible backup player, when/if the Oppo dies. It was fuller sounding, with more bass, but sadly developed scratching issues in the magnetic clamp. The ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I hope it doesn’t deteriorate, too My Voyager is driving Emerald Physics 3.4s, also Open Baffle. My first OBs were Accoustat 2 + 2s, then Maggie 3.5Rs before EP KC IIs, followed by the 3.4s. I’ve owned a few really good box speakers, too; Genesis... | |

| Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators? I owned a premier Power Plant and was not happy. I sent it back for upgrade but it was the same when I got it back. Much better luck with Core Power PLC. They also have a Deep Core but I don't have one yet. AND I have a balanced dedicated line for... |
