| Important Interconnect Question Thanks all. I have verified that my Audioquest balanced cable is in fact analog. Just to be safe and not spend too much, I have ordered a balanced digital cable from Frank at Signal Cable. | |
| Retail Music Stores Gone I have to disagree with the first poster, I really have felt the loss of Tower. I have bought at Tower since there was vinyl and 8 tracks only. I usually could always be assured of finding what I wanted and cd/dvd is the only kind of shopping I en... | |
| Marantz cd510 As Transport? I have inserted the Marantz cdr-500 in my system as transport only. It is connected to my Alpha DAC via a Audioquest coral interconnect. Right now I'm very happy with the sound. Maybe I've saved myself quite a few bucks here though I do need to fi... | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget I'd like to know why the Meridian isn't satisfactory? Have heard nothing but great things about Meridian. | |
| Marantz cd510 As Transport? Bond, I'll let you know how it works. I don't think it's anything else because the Marantz play fine. all interconnects are failry new and this came up out of nowhere. I might hnave the model number wrong and own the same one you do. LOL! zar | |
| CD Buying Guide??? I agre this kind of a book would be heaven sent. I have rebought many of myu favorite cd's so as to have them remasterd. In all but a couple of cases they were way better sounding than the original. I caould never figure out why a artist or produc... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? We can spend as much as we like on a great rig but it all comes down to the quality of the cd. A great sounding disc as a reference will show who has the best syste. Put a crap recording in anyone's rig and it will sound like crap. | |
| music these days.... I have to agree with the sentiment that new music is in the dumper. Another big problem are the people who listen to it. It would go away if the ignorant mindset would change. Just drive down a main street anywhere and doubtless you will come acro... | |
| Favorite driving music Jaybo, outstanding! Golden Earring, one of my favorite bands. I prefer mixed oldies compilations in the car. | |
| tweaks I echo the thoughts on the PS-300. I just got it back from being modded, so it's even better now. While it was gone I mainly watched movies. | |
| Upgrade Opinions I can't stand anything by Denon. That said I would ditch the Adcom amp. I went through 9 long years of Adcom 555II power and pre amps in my system. I bought a used Aragon 8008BB here on audiogon and it was a huge improvement. Bought a new pre-amp ... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? I bought a PS Audio 300 Power Plant here on Audiogon and I'm very happy with it. In fact it is due back to me within a day or two after being modified. I'm expecting it to sound even better now. I have PS Audio power cords from the dedicated line ... | |
| Bryston 6BSST or B &K 200.5 or Aragon 8008 I have an Aragon 8008bb, dual mono power amp. I love it. This sucker is built like a tank and almost weighs as much. I have no experience with the other brands and while thy have good reps, I don't think you can make a mistake with Aragon. | |
| Preamp to pair with my Adcom? Reed, the best thing I ever did in the world of audio was ditch my Adcom power and pre amps. In the years I had them I hardly if ever sat down and did dedicated listening, it was always as music in the bakground. When I had the $$ to do something ... | |
| Cal Audio Alpha-Delta, Anyone Stack Them? Thanks gentlemen. Zar |
