Personal CD player evolution

CAL Alpha/Delta in 1992
ARC CD2 in 1998
Pentagon CD 70 in 2002

Yonojo, no s**t! I just got my Elite CLD 97 back from the repair shop. I have a large collection of LD's, including some rare music LD's. I'm using an outboard DAC, and listen with a pretty good headphone rig.

Years ago, I had a nice home theater set-up using the Elite SP-99D processor for AC-3 [Dolby Digital], as most LD's incorporated this, right towards the end of this format. Quite a few friends were more than impressed [so were my condo neighbors!] before the arrival of DVD with most folks getting a sub-par home theater. Had to break up the home theater when I moved.

Tvad, is your Exemplar Denon 3910 replacing your APL? I know you are a huge fan of APL. Could you share some of your listening impressions comparing the two? thanks in advance. warren :)

Sorry for digressing a bit, Prehare, with your thread, because Tvad has asked me to never email him on the side. I must keep all in the open forum. thanks...:)

Pioneer, 1985
Kenwood, 1989
Technics, 1999
NAD c541i, 2003
NAD Master Series M55 universal. If it stays reliable it'll be here for a loooong time.

Cheers

1. Denon circa 1984
2. Pioneer DV 525, then modified
3. Cary 306/200
4. Burmester 001
5. Squeezebox2 -> Reimyo DAP777 (Ver.2)

Now, the latest combination has been modified, including but not limited to, so that they are synched to one precise master clock. I don't think I will even think of upgrading the digital front end for a very very many years to come.
