| Cambridge D500SE ?? According the AudioAdvisor.com website it is 24/192, but then does it actually run in that mode?? I am not a techy. | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor Ten years ago when I still lived near Boston, the Rhode Island Philharmonic was looking for a new music director. One of my best friends is on their Board of Directors. She invited me as her guest to every one of the "Audition" concerts that year,... | |
| Sellers Obligation To Respond I agree also. But, I also have a habit of not responding to low-ball offers that are so low, they are laughable at best and insulting at worst. I've had offers of 10% to 20% of list price, for mint/as new items, that sell in a day at 60% to 75% of... | |
| Help in Interconnect cables Preamp upgrade always a good investment. How much do you want to spend? If you want to try tubes, the Conrad Johnson PV-10 is worth a try. Line stage PV-10L, with phono PV-10A. I've played a lot with Pre/Power cables and it is hard to say what is ... | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? To give you an idea up the newer model's upgrade in quality; the original CD4 had a Sanyo transport. The D500's transport is made by Sony. | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? Yes, that describes the original CD4. Cambridge was bought out by a few years ago by a group in Britain called "Audio Partnership" headed by Julian Richer. (Richersounds.com) They changed manufacturers. Cambridge does design work in Britain and fa... | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor The story I heard was some millionaire guy who leaned the one Malher symphony by heart and since he had the cash, was able to hire his own orchestra to perform it?? Don't know the truth of it. I will try to get his name. I will be listening to Tem... | |
| 2 Channel Pass Through for Home Theater The Conrad Johnson Premier 14LS Tube Preamp has theater processor loops. So does the solid state PFR. | |
| Best HT speaker system I guess there are four B&W classes in all Nautilus, CDM, 600, 300; All but the 300 series have a wall unit which would give you a 7 channel system if you used them at the mid-point and still had rears. If you really want the very best money no... | |
| Best HT speaker system B&W makes two classes of matched systems which includes the units that hang on the wall at the mid-point and/or rear. One is in the range of the 600/CDM series, the other is mulitple-thousands and in the class with the Nautilus speakers. They ... | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? By the way, for those with the older version, the DAC chip module was designed to be removed, so you should be able to upgrade to 24 bit. Do not know the cost. | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? PS: If I would of had the SE 24 bit model, I would probably have parted with the CD6. | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? Yes the D500SE is 24 bit. I think AudioAdvisor has a few of them for $399. I had the original D500 which was 20bit. Everything you read is true in my mind. Is also a HiFi Choice Best Buy and best play under $1000 in A/V Lifestyle (Austrialian) mag... | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor I will also nominate Marin Alsop, music director of the Colorado Symphony, especially since there are so few female conductors at this level. | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor I also agree with the Klieber nomination. I agree that there are too few recordings by Klieber out there. Rattle was amazing by putting the City of Birmingham on the map. I believe Rattle was just hired by Berlin to replace Abaddo who is also quit... |
