The fact that the CXC remote has no way to go directly to a track is such a boneheaded mistake by the designers, it defies comprehension. Here’s their response: “However, if you know of any universal remotes where you could program in IR c... | |
| Advice on trustworthy audio resellers who check condition, offer trial period? Great! I’m glad to have multiple sites in mind. | |
| Advice on trustworthy audio resellers who check condition, offer trial period? thanks for the suggestions supplementing TMR. | |
| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. Has everyone who compared the different level streamers done so in a way that was randomized and blind? It’s hard not to hear an expensive unit as “better” if one knows that’s the one playing. | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? Would there be reason to think earlier remotes from Cambridge would not work? Eg https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAMBRIDGE-AUDIO-CD-32-34-Original-Remote-Control-GENUINE-FREE-UK-DELIVERY-/... | |

| Auditioning amplifier gear: simultaneous auditions, online retailers you trust? Good advice, Mike. Thank you! | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Thanks, jafant, and others for your reports and suggestions. One of the difficulties in contributing back to this forum is that my system is still so primitive (relative to audiophile stuff) that I'm building things up to a point where I might be ... | |
