| CD Player Upgrade " Can you give me your impressions of the CA840C against the 542?"Tough comparison because they are currently in two different systems with different purposes. The 840C is in my main HT/music system(NAD T175HD pre/pro, Acurus A200/A200x3 amps, K... | |

I have had very good success on the used market from my local c-list with good deals, reliability, and quality of subwoofers(Revel B15, SVS SB13 Plus, Paradigm Servo 15a). Bill | |
| CDP Repair or Replace? Seeking advice Please I think the 840C is well worth the $300.00 repair if you are planning to use it for CD playback. If as a DAC only with another transport, why bother now?Bill | |
| Full range or subwoofer with bookshelfs for best bass at low to moderate volume? I think if integrated properly, a bookshelf speakers/subwoofer combo can equal or even surpass equivalent($$$ and quality) floorstander speakers.Many variables come in to play though.Bill | |
