Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,

Audiolabyrinth
I am here . I have been trying to fix a problem with one of my Sony CDP-M555ES cd players . it has started not being able to find the disc location and spins around back and forth searching for the right disc # . It plays fine until after about 30 minutes or so when it starts actind up.
I purchased a replacement CDP-M333ES. the only diference from the 555 is it doesn't have video out for the song tilte and artist display , on the TV like the 555.
I really did not use it that(menus to tv ) much anyway.
i have been re- loading in each disc artist and the title of the disc and the categoryinto the 333es. Very labor intensive , although it does accept a keyboard which helps a lot.
It will recognize cd text but id you don't have artist and genre put in you can't play by artist or genre.
I really have been thinking about using a pc as a server and running through a pc with jriver media or windows media out to the tv for display.
Are any of you guys doin' that ?

@ skoczylas,cool,we look forward to your review.cheers!

@ grey9hound,wow!you are busy!you can ask the others,I really have a simple two channel system for the main,the second system will be doing what you have said when I am done building it,the two will be for different type of enertainment,the main,pure real sound,cost no object,the other one for movies,good sound,turn table,radio,computer,etc.. you get the picture.,thanks for getting back to me,cheers!

@ grey9hound,wow,you have been busy,the answer to your question is no,I would like to do some things like that with second system,the main system is 2 channel high-end only,the second system will be a different kind of entertainment system than the main,the second system when I get done will be alot like yours,t.v.flat screen,computer,media server etc...,good to here from you!,I would ask one of the other guys for an answer with your question,cheers!

Ok fellows the Tara Labs Air 1 ics are here and playing in my system now! The first thing I recognized was a couple of small tears running out of the corner of my eye and down my cheek when I heard them....

LOL...Just kidding, there is no crying in audio!

Ok seriously, the Air 1 do sound very very nice in this system! The first thing that I recognized as being different was a nice ripe, round quality to some seriously solid & deep bottom end. Then I realized that I was experiencing better clarity and definition of middle bass frequency stuff that was simply not heard before. The Air 1 is not forward sounding at all, in fact it imparts a much more recessed soundstage when compared to SoloCrystalOval. With the Air 1 in the system, midrange and top end information does sound accurate, tonally correct, and without loss of detailz! The background is also extremely quiet and this is usually a sign of a better cable. The speakers are doing an even more convincing "disappearing act" and the soundstage has stretched out wider! At this point, I already feel pretty confident I will enjoy this cable more than the Solo Crystal Oval.

I got some "juicy" sounds oozing out of the Hales Rev 3s and I like it! Thank you Keith! I'll give more impressions after these babies run in for a few hundred hours. So far, the Tara Air 1 gets a BIG thumbs up from me!

Grey9hound, these are my first impressions of the Air 1 ics. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cable to you based on what I have heard thus far!!! But... I must also recommend for you a McCormack amplifier. Probably a DNA-1 so you could keep your biamp thing going(using both sets of binding posts).

I used Emotiva amps for 6 or 7 months and the McCormack sound just beat up on the Emo in every way! Definately another level of refinement with DNA- 0.5 Deluxe or the DNA- 1 Deluxe in my system. I have also had a Rev. B+ DNA-1 Deluxe in this system and am still kicking myself for letting it go!!! If you can find one jump on it. Have fun and best of luck to you!
