| WHY CABLES MATTER! Cables have a sound for better or for worse. They are not universal and may not produce the same sound in different systems. We once won an award for best of show using a cheap Adcom copper cable used as a digital cable. Not one reviewer asked ... | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp There are things that can burn without causing harm. For long term though, I would not use the amp. Take the cover off and look around to see what has burned. I am in New Jersey if I can assist in anyway. | |
| Old CD player back from the dead—prompting many questions! The old CAL was a very nice musical sounding player. It can be upgraded to make major improvements. The Aqua is nothing really that special to my ears. (yeah I know three is a big fan club on them). The CAL can be upgraded for a ton less that ... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 I am located in New Jersey if our location can be of service. I'd say take a look inside like Eric said. Power it up without it connected. It and let it idle for 20 minutes. If nothing seems burnging then plug that sucker in. Happy Listeni... | |

| Marantz cd players The best Marantz CDP to this day is the old CD-94. We still used one in our listening room. It completes in stock form with most any CDP out there these days especially for the $1K used prices. Happy Listening. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? $500 DAC - nope. Better off spending $500 and upgrading your CDP instead. | |

| What DAC to buy? you would be better off having your CDP upgraded then to buy a $1K DAC. You would get much better sound. | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions Some good advice but you actually never know until you try. We have vandersteen sevens that were driven by 28wpc set amp I believe 520 or 820 tube sounded fantastic on 83.5 db speakers pure class A. We were surprised at that. You can try hybrid am... | |
| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? Typically more watts claim more headroom on transients and long loud passages. No, not really. Our Class A 40wpc mono blocks outperform large mega watt amps. In general terms, when you upgrade the parts in the power supply with better parts lik... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp Sounds better in what way or areas? | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? @richalan - I think you have dated yourself with Hot Tuna. LOL When I was young we always rented a home on the NJ Shore with my buddies. I brought down a little stereo system and we met some nice young ladies and invited them over that night. We... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players Plenty of options - Get an old Rotel and have the parts upgraded along with the laser if you want really good sound but don't want to spend too much. Or get an old Cary 306SACD model and have that upgraded. Once that is upgraded it will complete... | |
| Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ? Buy an cold Counterpoint preamp and upgrade it. It then becomes a reference preamp. Happy Listening. |
