| I want more from my Rega P5 The P5 uses the RB700, an evolution of the RB600 on the P25. | |
| Jonny Cash As others have mentioned, the collaborations with Rick Rubin are all outstanding, both musically and technically. Given that you like the cover of "One", I'd strongly recommend American Recordings II: Unchained and then III: Solitary Man, which ha... | |
| Rega Apollo vs Naim CD5i vs Arcam CD73T Hi Jack,The 5X and the 5i sound pretty different from each other. I bought a 5i because I love it's lively sound and drive. The 5X falls a lot closer to the conventional "audiophile" sound. It's just a matter of preference, but there's not a lot o... | |
| CDP for Naim My experience is that Naim CD players fit into non-Naim systems much better than non-Naim CD players fit into Naim systems.Note that the Rega players have a very different sound from Naim. As a whole, the Naim players lean towards fast and lean. T... | |
| Movin' up from Rega Planet 2000? What next? Hi,I took a long look at the Rega Planet and Jupiter earlier this year when I was hunting for a CD player. I ended up snagging a Naim CD5i. It has the forgiving nature of the Rega players with, to my ears, more transparency and drive.At the price ... | |
| Naim CD5x vs. CD5i Hi Shoe,I had an EAD CD1000 prior to the Naim. I also use a Sony DVP9000ES for SACD and it's a competent redbook player in its own right now that it's broken in.The Jolida 100 is a very nice player. Like the Naim, it's pretty forgiving across a wi... | |
| Naim CD5x vs. CD5i Hi Asonicyouth,I just went through a year long hunt for a new CD player that ended with me buying a Naim CD5i. My budget was $2500, but I would have stretched to $3K if something was head and shoulders above the rest in my system.I listened to the... | |
| Interconnects for Bryston Power & Pre Amp Hi GHW,I've got a Bryston 4NRB and BP-20. For years, I used a pair of Audioquest Ruby XLRs for connectivity. About 6 months ago, I switched over to a pair of Kimber Hero XLRs and am very pleased with the smooth neutral sound of the Kimbers, especi... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation I've been very tempted to send off the 9000ES to be modded. TRL and Modwright are the two that tempted me the most. However, I've read a number of older reviews that mention that the 9000ES doesn't show it's potential on either redbook or SACD unt... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation Hi All,Thanks again for all the recommendations. To wrap up the thread, I wanted to let you know that I ended up buying a Naim CD5i. The two other players that really grabbed me were the Rega Jupiter and the Simaudio Equinox. Ultimately, the Rega ... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation Hi All,Thanks for all the responses. I haven't made my choice on the CD player yet. However, while the search continues, I've purchased a Sony DVPS-9000ES DVD/SACD player to improve my 2 channel SACD playback. If I don't find a CD player that comp... | |
| Need help/advice from Bryston owners Hi,You're getting great advice. Contact Bryston directly.I sent in my BP-20 preamp earlier in the year for what turned out to be a problem with an upstream component. Bryston tuned up the 11 year old preamp with a couple of new connectors on the b... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation Thanks for the recommendations! I've got a dealer about an hour and a half away who carries Simaudio, Quad, Musical Fidelity, and Audio Aero. I'm going to check and see if I can hear all of these on the same system.I had a chance to listen to the ... | |
| Amp for Mirage M-3s I auditioned a number of amps on Mirage M-3s back in the mid-90s. To my ears, the Acurus A150 and, I believe, D100 integrated sounded a bit less refined than an Aragon 4004 and Bryston 4B-NRB. I ended up getting a pair of M1-si's and running them ... |
