| cambridge 840c as transport The only way to find out is to try it. When used as a dac you can program upsampling etc.. | |
| Cambridge 740c or Rega Apollo with Linn and Sonus I recently purchased the 740c and now have over 200 hours on it. Once you dial it into your system with interconnects and a power cord it is an excellent player with detail and clarity. The largest difference I hear in this player that sets it apa... | |
| REGA APOLLO I had the Apollo and sold it about nine months ago. It's a nice player but had a stealy quality to some guitars which I could not live with, maybe a system mismatch. To say "that there is not a better one under $5000.00" is a very big stretch alth... | |
| Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and... I can't say that I replaced the Jolida with the Cambridge 740c as it's been a while since I've owned the Jolida. I will say that the Cambridge 740c sounds completely different. The 740 needs about 160 hours of break in time to come together, the s... | |
| Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and... I had the JD-100 many players ago, I never really warmed up to it. I'm now using a Cambridge 740c player and it offers all the qualities you are looking for under 1K.Phill | |
| Oppo as transport According to Doug Schneider at Dagogo it makes for a poor transport, he mentions the Oppo in his Cambridge 840c review. | |
| Cambridge 740c vs 840c There has to be some users lurking around that have heard both! | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? It's more intimidating than it is hard, if you have the square cup (binding post cup) I can help walk you through it. There are other options also, Bob Crites among others makes new replacement crossovers or you can send the crossovers off to bob ... | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? If you have not replaced the caps in the crossovers yet I suggest that you do, it makes for a nice improvement.Phill | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Don't know about the 103 but I had the 103R and sold it after about 60 hours, too much grain in my opinion. Hate to say it but I prefered my beat up DL-110.Phill | |
| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range The problem is I'm still into vinyl and when done right and set up correctly digital is a poor cousin in my opinion. Because of the results I've had with vinyl I don't take digital as seriously so I budget a lot less for a Cd player or a Dac. I so... | |
| Cambridge 640, 740 and 840 Thanks everyone for the input.Phill | |
| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range No, not at all, I was looking into the CA Cd players and was considering a purchase but I have no dealers in my area so all the feedback I can read is a big help. User opinions are all over the place, this means that some probably have remarked on... | |
| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range I looked at the Cambridge web page and discovered the 640H music server that you are using has 1 Wolfson Dac, the 640c V2 has 2 Wolfson Dacs, 1 per channel. I would think that the 640H is comparable to the old 640c CD player, the 640c V2 is suppos... | |
| Cambridge 840c or Pioneer PD-65/Benchmark DAC 1 The 840 uses the Analog Devises Dacs, 1 per channel. |
