| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? Danny of GR Research fame has a YouTube channel, in which he upgrades lots of speaker XOs. It is amazing how poor the XOs are of many of the well known speaker companies. He offers upgrade kits as well as his own speaker designs | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News Marantz told me the mechanism is discontinued, but gave me the part number in case I could find one on line The entire mechanism needs replacing @ $150+ shipping, and I didn't want to spend that much to repair (it's available for anyone who provi... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) About a week ago I decided to reinsert my Marantz HD-CD 1, purchased to use as a transport and possible backup player, when/if the Oppo dies. It was fuller sounding, with more bass, but sadly developed scratching issues in the magnetic clamp. The ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I hope it doesn’t deteriorate, too My Voyager is driving Emerald Physics 3.4s, also Open Baffle. My first OBs were Accoustat 2 + 2s, then Maggie 3.5Rs before EP KC IIs, followed by the 3.4s. I’ve owned a few really good box speakers, too; Genesis... | |

| Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators? I owned a premier Power Plant and was not happy. I sent it back for upgrade but it was the same when I got it back. Much better luck with Core Power PLC. They also have a Deep Core but I don't have one yet. AND I have a balanced dedicated line for... | |

| some rookie questions Easy Peasy: get a coax cable (see link below) mine is1.5m, but the 2.0m is good, too. It connects between your Technics SUG700 digital coax input from the transport coax out. I think it is directional. You can buy direct from AA and still get fre... | |
| some rookie questions IMHO, you haven't heard your system yet. Getting the most from any system (yours is quite good for anyone, let alone a "rookie), one should start with the source, if it isn't as good as the rest of your system, it becomes the limiting factor. Firs... | |
| What are you tweaking this weekend? Round about tweak First, when feasible, I take the covers off my gear, as with my Voyager GaN350 and (and my EVS 1200 before it) and my Oppo 105. I also have/had a Marantz HD CD-1, used as a transport. It started making scratching sounds, so I... | |

| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News A fellow 'file on another site, helped me get to the heart of the problem. After several attempts to communicate via TMs, I was able to get the disc off, but didn't notice anything obvious, so thinking the problem is deeper= $$$. Will reconnect t... | |
| Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility Having had my open baffle speakers on a pair for well over a year, they are excellent for finding best placement in the room, but once that's accomplished, the sooner they are off the dollys, the better. I my case, I didn't have any help, so smash... |
