| Adcom circa 1990 amp and preamp I think that a part of your reaction relates to nostalgia.I also owned some nice, early Adcom gear, and certainly have fond memories of the systems that I developed back in the '80s and '90s. But at the same time, while vintage components can cert... | |
| 6000 dollars CD player Electrocompaniet EMC 1 MKIV (I owned a predecessor for ~15 years); SimAudio Moon 260 (roughly half of your budget).Both are excellent. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nobody from the Jazz World is having birthday today? How is that possible...? Anybody?Well, would Sam Cooke be close enough? | |
| Seeking Coltrane Blue Train DSD download It's a lossless Apple file. But I am far from being an expert. | |

| Kimber Kable - Naked Cables @lalitk Thanks. An interesting coincidence: there is a local seller offering a pair of Kimber KS1111 for <$400. Perhaps I should give them a try... | |
| Kimber Kable - Naked Cables @lalitk Thank you. Maple veneer, which, while understated, I have always liked. The Kimber to which I alluded is the 2120, which is a single digital XLR to connect a source with DAC. So I am currently using it between my SimAudio Moon 260 transpor... | |

| The anachronistic CD Transport? And do I really need one. Overkill for your situation, but I recently bought a SimAudio Moon 260 transport to replace my high-quality, but old CD player, and am very happy with it. It would be an expensive alternative, though, given your small percentage of CDs. | |
| North Star 192 transport: Need remote Odd coincidence, but I recently switched from an Electrocompaniet CD player to a SimAudion MOON transport, and dislike the remote that came with the latter. To my very pleasant surprise, the (20yo!) Electrocompaniet remote, which I like very much,... | |
