| Searching for a new CD player Ordered a Rotel CD14 today. Looks like this will be my main player for years to come. | |
| Searching for a new CD player 2pysop. Unfortunately this is not an option. I have well over 2,000 CD's and the amount of time to burn them isn't there. I just spent over a year burning and recording around 6,0000 songs for my radio station's playlist (three different form... | |
| Searching for a new CD player Jafant. Just checking back in again. I got sidetracked from the search for either a new CD player or DAC. Been involved with a number of things including OT at work and also my radio station work and relocation in a few months. Will be back on... | |
| Searching for a new CD player At this point I am leaning towards keeping the Onkyo CD player and adding a new DAC. Seems to be the best move since it is working fine and handles the problem CD's better than the Yamaha.Have looked at the Bitfrost 2 and Modius from Schiit. Goo... | |
| Searching for a new CD player anton99. Yes, I noted the Audiolab gets good reviews for handling scuffs and scratches on CD's. It is something I've given some thought to.BTW. To the others recommending players that handle BluRay and SACD, I don't actually have any of those di... | |
| Searching for a new CD player mesch. The Onkyo DX 702 does indeed have a Toslink cable to the Topping D30 DAC. Cheap DAC though. Sound with that is only slightly better than the built in DAC. But, this does give me something to think about. Perhaps spending a few hundred ... | |
| Searching for a new CD player Thanks for the additional replies. Working a lot of OT at work this week. But I will have time this weekend to start researching the units mentioned.Crustycoot. Thanks. I have a 30 year old Onkyo CD player that handles the scratches and scuffs ... | |
| Searching for a new CD player Urbie. That's an absurd statement. That's like saying you can't find a quality car for under 20 grand. Granted the more you pay for anything likely will result in higher quality construction and components and more bells and whistles but that d... | |
| Searching for a new CD player Thanks for the additional ideas. Yes, gave some thought to the Audiolab as well and have a cheap Topping D30 DAC I could use with it while I decide how to purchase something better. Will have time this weekend to explore all of the ideas presented. | |
| Searching for a new CD player Thanks Grinnell. Will take a look at it. winoguy17. I don't have that many scratched CD's. Just a few. Most are very dated and can't be replaced easily if at all. | |
| Vintage Yamaha A 500 Integrated Amp and Speakers Thanks. Will stick with it then. Great amp and these speakers seem to be a perfect match with it. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I wanted to update everyone on the Tube Cube7 amp performance.Swapped out the tubes for the new edition of the Mallards (Mullard) for both the Power (EL84/6BQ5) and Pre amp (12AX7/ECC83). Also switched speaker cables from the AQ Type 4 to KnuKonce... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Lloyd. My 6 Ohm Mirage OM 10's are fine with this amp. 5 wpc and with a sensitivity of 91 db I get more than enough sound to hear it 30 feet away even with the volume knob around 11 AM. In the same room or an adjacent room and I can leave it at... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Thanks wtf. Yes, it really is a very good amp. Wish I had more to spend but I don't. Maybe in the future. For now this one works just fine for me and with the preamp I have, I am able to use any of the components that I have with it. At some ... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps pawlowski. Glad to hear you get it. I've literally got to spend thousands for so many new things right now that have been neglected for years and that includes my stereo system. Aside from my speakers most of the other gear needed to be upgrade... |
