| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question @plasticspoon8 -I echo the recommendation for the Denon DCD-1600. Fit and finish, sound are top notch. When auditioning CD players and transports I listened to both the DCD-1600 and the Denon DCD-a110 anniversary CD player. The difference between ... | |
| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison @blakcloud - If you search "CEC Tl-2X" on hifishark, you will find one listed on another audiomart site (I am not the seller). | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings @mitch2 Great thread topic! Thanks for posting. I’ve listened to the blues on and off for 50 years (yes, I’m old). After the passing of the greats-Muddy Waters, et al, I stopped listening for a bit. In the last couple of years I’ve started liste... | |

| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "Would you say it is superior to the Arcam?" Depends what you are looking for--I had an Arcam amp and remember it leaning towards a darker British sound--warm, very musical and "polite." It worked great with a pair of Dahlquist reissue... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister -Totally agree! Tangential observation- NHOP has been the bass accompanist for Bill Evans. @jdougs -Agree about Steeplechase. Many of Dexter Gordon's best albums are on the Steeplechase label. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs -Thanks for the recommendation. Doing some research I saw Kenny Drew is accompanied by Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass and Albert 'Tootie' Heath on drums. I have a terrific CD by Tete Montoliou, Tete-A-Tete, with NHOP and Tootie. ... |
