| Who here continues to regularly use a CD player? I use CD's exclusively. Did streaming for a bit but its just not my thing. Over the years I've built a decent library of CD's .I enjoy collecting them and adding them to my catalog. I did streaming for a couple of months but I just didn't enjoy it... | |
| Puritan vs Synergistic Research power conditioner Given the cost of a 2M+ Galileo cord makes this prohibitively expensive. Other cords may or may not work but given that the Powercell was designed with SR power cords in mind, its not a path I wish to explore. I was hoping to get some feedback f... | |
| ??? Current or Past ProAc Owners ??? I owned a pair of Proac D-30R's for a while. Great speaker but needs some space to do its thing. The ribbon tweeter is very revealing and extended but set up correctly its wonderful. You have a lot of options with amps. I ran mine with a Pass Labs... | |
| Anyone Using MARIGO AIDA CD MAT? I've been using the Aida CD mat for years now. It actually works. I heard more detail and bass is improved as well. If listening to CD's is your primary source I think the Aida is worth the money. Good luck | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric You have some great advice here. I would urge caution with Marantz. Its a very nice sounding player and the build quality is up to par. However if anything goes wrong, Marantz customer support is horrible. My SA-10 has been in service for almost 5... | |
| Conrad Johnson preamp used with Pass Labs amplifiers I ran my CJ CT-5 with a Pass XA30.8 for a while and the combo worked well. The Pass/CJ combo is known to have a good synergy,. Hope this helps. Thanks | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! I purchased a refurbished SA-10 from Music Direct last year. I got a three year warranty with it. Unfortunately its been in the shop twice since then. Frustrating to say the least but I'm hoping Marantz will eventually sort this out. Its a wonder... | |
| Audio Note Cobra and Cambridge Audio MXN10 Thank you all for your input. That's what I was thinking the issue was as well but wanted to check to make sure. I will reach out to CA and see if there are any options. In the meantime is there a streamer that you could recommend for less than $4... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 I'm using a SR Galileo UEF on my Pass XA30.8. Very happy with changes it brings. Bass is smoother and more defined with a much more refined top end. Noise floor is lower too. Lots of options out there. Good luck | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. You won't go wrong with either speakers. From some of the reviews I read the D-48R's are more euphonic whereas the K series is more detailed and neutral. I think it does come down to personal preference. Personally a big fan of the D-48R when I he... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Hi Jafant, I'm going to put it up for sale, most likely next week. Let me know if your interested. Thanks | |
| Marantz SA-10 Goose, congratulations on the D-07X! I think your going to be thrilled with it. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Luxman. Keep us updated please! Jafant, my system consists of a Pass Labs XA30.8, Aric Audio Super 6SN7 (with upgrades done ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Just thought I would circle back and answer my own question. I pulled the trigger on a Marantz SA-10 from Music Direct last week. Its been breaking in since Thursday and it has about 30 hours on it. More time is needed but I can give some early im... | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Running the Linlai 6SN7 in my Aric Audio preamp. They match or better many of the NOS tubes I have tried. They are my "go to" tube for the Aric. | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 +1 for Aric Audio. I'm using his Super 6SN7 (with upgraded PS and volume control) with my Pass X30.8. A great combo and big step up from my previous preamp, CJ CT-5. Aric has great customer service and can taylor his preamp to your needs. Good... |
