| CD/SACD player Under $4000 I think my Denon DCD-1700NE is quite good for around $1700, or less. | |
| SQ Comparison of 3 streamers @lanx0003 congrats on the purchase of the Innuos. I'm quite happy with mine. I do use the cd ripper as well. I have several cds that aren't available to stream. It's pretty convenient to add them to the Sense library. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Fools Face - Fools Face. Almost impossible to find. Fortunately, I had a copy of the cd that I obtained many years ago. Ripped it to my Innuos streamer. Sounds really good. | |
| Maybe it IS all in the DAC chips The ESS chips in my Gustard X-30 sound pretty darn good. If you look at the parts and construction of this dac, there are a lot of other key items that make it what it is. | |
| Roon changes the music I tried Roon and there was a noticeable drop in sound quality. I assumed that my system was not optimized for Roon and/or didn't have enough computer power. I liked the interface. | |
| Whest, Sutherland, Heed, PS Audio or others The 20/20 might be more versatile than the TZ Vibe, but if you are using a low output moving coil cartridge, is it as good or better? You're paying for the versatility. I don't plan to upgrade from the Hana ML, so it made sense to me to go to ... | |
| Is anyone still using a CD Player I have a Denon DCD-1700NE cd/sacd player. I think it's a very nice player for the money (especially at the price that I paid). I can't say that it sounds better than streaming, but I keep it because I have a lot of cds and not every album is ava... | |
| Whest, Sutherland, Heed, PS Audio or others I went from a KC Vibe to a Sutherland TZ Vibe. I'm using a Hana ML moving coil cartridge. It was a significant improvement and not crazy expensive. My TT is a Marantz TT -15S1. Pretty nice for the money. | |
| upgrade what I have the same Denon cd/sacd player. The built in dac is really good. Not at all bright. It's not bright when used as a transport, either. I haven't heard the amp or speakers. | |
| Do you have any gear that was outright given to you? No, but I've given gear away. :) | |
| Fidelium speaker cabke Jeffrey Smith with Silversmith has a computer file that you can use to 3D print some. He sent it to me, but I never tried it. | |
| What type of cables make the most difference For me and my system, I'd say that speaker cables and interconnects are both important. It would be hard to rank them. I never really expected big differences in speaker cables until I got the Silversmith Audio Fidelium cables. I don't have the... | |
| The Best Sounding Systems can Play Loudly with Low Distortion My system is capable of playing loudly, but my ears don't care for it. Back in the day, I played music rather loudly, but not anymore. When others want to hear my system, they often want me turn it up beyond what I prefer. | |
| Your Opinion of Coda CSiB Integrated Amplifier? @sbwheelrepair What your saying is that the Coda No 8 didn't work as well for you as the Classe amp with your Wilson speakers, your preamp, etc. The Classe Delta Mono amps that I see on eBay are $6500 each which is about the cost of a new Coda. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Donnas. How the heck did I overlook them? These girls rock! Listening to Gold Medal. Spend the Night also kicks butt. If you like rock (not metal), check them out! |
