@tattooedtrackman -"When I need to demo ARC equipment my dealer is Audio Connection John Rutan. And I don’t know how many times he let me bring home equipment to demo." John is the BEST. He goes out of his way to provide stellar customer service ...

@tattooedtrackman -Have you explored purchasing a replacement Phillips laser assembly from ARC? I'm deciding on getting the REF CD6SE after learning I can get a laser assembly from ARC for about $500.

@thyname - "I just saw you said you like X equipment quite a bit, but decided to send it back nonetheless. It stroke me as odd, but hey…" A. Like the overly choosy diner, I'm not someone you would want to have dinner with.  B. Guess I'm odd. C...

@thyname -Nothing irrational. I like the Urd. Compared to the ARC CD6SE that's currently in my system, I like the CD6SE more. I think it's because my other components are also ARC. If I wanted a second system, with different components that I cou...

@charles1dad - "Sounds like a good plan. You have heard it in your system and confirmed it is a fantastic fit." I think so, also. The REF CD6SE is a terrific unit. I wasn't entirely "sold" on the sound when first listening to it. Coming from the...

@jetter -Yes. Good advice. I did contact them and the CDPro2 replacement is available.   @magnuman -That's quite a recommendation! If I can audition the 701T in the next week, I will give it serious consideration.

I had the opportunity to hear the Denon DCD-A110 Anniversary Edition SACD/CD Player last night. It was in a system with a Musical Fidelity M6SI integrated amp, and Spendor A4 speakers.  Physically, the CD player is a 40 lb beast--nicely machine g...

@charles1dad  I'm enjoying the opportunity to audition transports/CD players. My extended loan of the ARC CD6SE is finite (beginning of December) because the owner purchased an Aqua HiFi La Diva M2 CD Transport (an awesome transport, out of my pr...

Greetings! I have spent the weekend listening to the Schiit Urd. While it isn’t fully broken in, these are my impressions. For the price it is a terrific CD transport. The Phillips based mechanism presents a deep and wide soundstage. Instruments ...

@ja_kub_sz  Thanks for the comparisons. I'm auditioning the TEAC next week. It will be fun to compare listening notes. The balanced and detailed presentation of the TEAC is something I find appealing. I have a question-why did you get the CG-10 C...
