| CD Transport @leog2015 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--I’m of the school that you can’t see or hear what’s 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... | |

| 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. I’m impressed. Since I already have ARC (upstream/downstream?) the synergy is what you would expect with the ARC house sound-... | |
