Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer?
Are you worried about it breaking because of the parts or how it sounds? Rega cdps don't break and sound great. 
Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer?
I own the Apollo and it's a great cdp. I've been through Jolidas, YBAs, Classes, Rotels, two Planet 2000s and two Jupiters and this is my last CDP. Pick up an Apollo and save the dough you would have spent on the Saturn and buy a nice vinyl set up... 
Parasound, McCormick, Odyssey - best under $1000
Used McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe for right @ $1000.00. Be patient as they come up on Agone regularly

Why do sellers bother to put O.B.O. on an ad when their price is firm in the first place? It doesn't hurt to ask someone with a O.B.O tag on their price what their bottom line is and invariably when asked in my experience O.B.O. sellers either get... 
Jimmy Smith's best albums?
"Organ Grinder Swing" on Verve. Beautiful recording and great music. One of my most played cds. 
Jolida JD100 better that the Rega Planet 2000?
I've owned 2 JD-100s, 2 Planet 2000s and a Rega Jupiter. I like the Jupiter best. The Jupiter, especially preowned, is an absolute audio bargain IMO 
Hendrix Voodoo
Off subject a little but my cousin Mike has Jimi's microphone he used during the recording of "Are You Experienced' 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
Pmkap or Occam or whoever you post as on all the other boards (Why use different names on audio boards but that's really not sockpuppeting now is it??): Ever hear a version of Will Durant's "To speak Ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ou... 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
C'mon you guys-Don Nance just scored the biggest piece of free advertising that I've seen in a long time on the audio boards. When's the last time you saw a sockpuppet's posts generate so much interest in a product? The guy's no dummy, give him th... 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
Yes I do have a finacial interest in Don's mods as in Don (who lives in GA) will get my full financial interest to the tune of 700.00 for his deluxe mods if I find the stock SLA1 that is arriving at my house in OREGON tommorow from Music123.com so... 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
I'm kind of interested in what people have to say about the stock SLA1 myself if you don't mind. Find another thread to comment on if this one doesn't suit you. 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
So what is the dividing line on audio boards for pushing products? Yes Don did cross over many people's imaginary lines in posting about his mods on the deleted thread, but isn't audio gear pushed on internet audio boards all the time? You or I li... 
Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP?
There are no absolutes in audio. Just because someone on an audio board says that cd playback can never be as good as vinyl playback doesn't mean squat.Use your own ears and come to your own conclusions. Some people might equate good sound to lack... 
Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP?
Try a Jolida JD-100 tube cdp and experiment with tube-rolling for a warm sound.
