CDR playback in DVD player You need to burn the CDs with CD-RW blanks and the DVD player can read those. DVD players use a slightly different frequency of laser from a regular CD and they cannot read standard CD-Rs some players do both, but they usually have two lasers. | |
Compare and contrast HCA1500A-4004Mk2-4BST I think the HCA is clearly in a lower class. I am also partial to the Bryston. Musical Fidelity also just came out with a high power wonderful amp (the A300cr power amp) which would also be worth a listen in new equipment. But for used you can't b... | |
Suggestions for econo system I use Analysis Plus Speaker cables and a mix of analysis plus and TMC interconnects. All of which I have found to be excellent and very reasonable (I got there after much experimenting). I would recommend a TMC white from CD to integrated amp and ... | |
Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? I went to a used Muse 296 with my Arcam CD player. It made a huge difference and I love it. | |
Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise If you strech your budget to $1200-$1300 you ought to be able to find a used Muse Model 9. This player is in a whole different class from the other units mentioned. The Muse digital gear is amazing and you should definitely give it a listen. | |
Suggestions for econo system You can get a c-370 for under $500 new from some of the NAD discounters like http://800stereo.org/nadc3newmod.html and at that price, it is really worth the $150 difference. To save some money, I would either go with a used ARCAM CD player (I've s... | |
Remote control for a Muse DAC I have a 296 and there is no remote. The remote goes with the model 8 transport. there would be almost nothing to control on a 296. | |
Inexpensive Tri-Wire Cables Analysis plus has cables in different guages that work great together. If you contact them through their web page analysis-plus.com they will custom factory-terminate whatever you need. | |
Best system under 5K - that is a challenge You also should specify whether you want CD only, analogue only or both. Also do we need to include a tuner, tape-deck, etc. | |
Mephisto vs CEC transport If all you need is the transport, go with a Muse Model 8. | |
Balanced Amps at a reasonable price? Bryston 4B-ST | |
better gear, worse recordings I agree with many of the points posted, and certainlybalnce in a systemis very hard to acheive; however there are some strange ideas about the recording process I'd like to correct. First of all Sugarbrie's idea that one could retune and out of tu... | |
Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s I think the perfect thing would be the brand new high power Musical Fidelity amp the 'A300cr' (don't confuse it withthe 'A300' integrated amp). This sells new for around $3400. THe whole A-cr series have been amazing, detailed but not overly brigh... | |
New Amp I personally prefer the Bryston Amps for this sort of use. | |
Musical Fidelity A300cr. I realized that you are talking about the new power amp which I have not yet heard. My comments were about the A300 integrated. Sorry. The new amp looks great though. |
