| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing FYI-I received an email reply from Pro-Ject đ They asked for the serial number of my CD Box, indicating there were "historical problems" with certain units before "the updates."  We shall see..... At the moment, I am really enjoying the ARC CD6SE... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing Just an FYI follow-up to my previous follow-up-Â On Monday, I responded to Pro-Ject support with the following question: "With the redesign, can a CD Box user now have confidence that the problems rendering the transport inoperable have now been ... | |
| CD Transport @leog2015Â There is a detailed write-up about the TEAC on this A'Gon discussion thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/resolving-cd-transports-crowd-sourcing I'm also interested in the TEAC 701T, but I haven't auditioned it because it's... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad This is their response. Does this mean the quality control issues have been fixed and a buyer can have confidence that the problems have been eliminated? I emailed them back and haven't gotten a response yet. BTW--I picked up a use... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing FWIW-Enjoying the ARC CD6SE loaner quite a bit. Will audition the TEAC and URD as they become available. Meanwhile, I've been sending emails to Pro-Ject's parent company, Audiotuning, asking how the CD Box re-design is going. If anyone else is in... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jaymark - Ugh! I feel your pain. Any chance you can get refund/credit for your purchases? | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @pindac Great comments on the two paintings--Iâm of the school that you canât see or hear whatâs not there. In the case of music, if it is there you want the best resolving equipment to hear it. @charles1dad Agree about comparisons between th... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @kuhyay Under 3K are the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 ES9038 Pro x2 DAC. It has two ES9038pro chips (one per channel), and superb audiophile grade parts that achieve very high resolution with a very large soundstage. There is a lengthy thr... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad I did not know that Morgan and McLean collaborated. Looking into this I saw that at some point both played with Art Blakey. What do you recommend? | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jetter Both you and ghdprentice raise an interesting point. To many people playing a CD is an archaic way to listen to music. There are multiple reasons. Consequently, the technology that makes the CD listening experience sublime, i.e the abili... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jetter Good question. I should check as I am considering purchasing the CD player. @ghdprentice I can see that. The DAC on the CD 6SE is terrific. I haven't made the effort, yet, to listen to HI REZ. I have TIDAL, which has MQA. People on A'... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad I would agree with your assessments of Vermeer and Sargent. You have a good eye! I agree about Lee Morgan. I always "liked" him. Sidewinder was one of my first jazz purchases. And then one afternoon I was listening to Art Blakey &a... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad Vermeer paintings and Pro-Ject CD Box Rs2T analogy (YMMV) https://www.khm.at/en/objectdb/detail/2574/ John Singer Sargent and CD6SE analogy (YMMV) https://collections.mfa.org/objects/31782 I'm giving the TEAC 701 a listen when i... | |
| best SACD player @gpana Denon dcd-a110 110th anniversary edition sacd player is awesome. Built like a tank. The Redbook playback is detailed, slightly warm timbre which creates a big soundstage. The SACD is excellent. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jl35 @ghdprentice @charles1dad I was up late last night, and early today, after adding the ARC CD6SE to my system. Iâm impressed. Since I already have ARC (upstream/downstream?) the synergy is what you would expect with the ARC house sound-... |
