| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? That is why research and asking questions is probably your best bet.Also buy something used that you know will not take a bath on if you don't like it. | |
| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? "Conclusion: On the aggregate, a modified cd player is a better value. Do we all concur?"LOL. This bunch here cannot concur on anything. :)I think it depends and there are lots of opinions.In answer to your first analysis-yes the modder can do thi... | |
| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? Agree with the idea of going the modded player route.A used modded player, if it is one that you want, can be a good option also.You don't need to spend big bucks but their are modders who are happy to help you do so. :)No doubt you will lose some... | |

| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? I have heard the TRL Sony 900, but have been having some trouble with my amp so did not get to listen to it a long time.It is very very good from a short audition.Will have things back to normal pretty soon and will give it a longer listen then. | |

| What cd for $1000 is best for this system? Hey, there is an Arcam CD-92 FS right now on AG.Pretty good deal it seems for a well regarded stock player.(I have no relationship with the seller). | |
| What cd for $1000 is best for this system? FWIW- I had the Cary 308 (nice player) before I went to a TRL modded unit (Sony 595).The Sony was better in every way in my opinion in my setup.That was just my experience, though. | |

| Do I need a phono amp if I own an integrated amp? If your intergated has a phono stage built in you will not need an external one as people have said.I have one built in my Musical Fidelity A300.I did add a dedicated phono stage later and it sounds much better than the built in one.I added a Hage... | |
