| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I sold my 2 SVS subs a couple weeks ago. Mostly a net gain, as they are designed for home theater, not hi-end audio. Shortly after I reinserted my Marantz HD CD-1 as a transport, instead of using my Oppo 105 digital out into my Audio Alchemy DDP-1... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby @dcaudio I hear you. I have made do with an Oppo 105 to which I upgraded the OEM power supply, the IEC, and a jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch. My intent was to simplify my digital playback, it CAN sound pretty good with SACDs, but many of t... | |

| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @charles1dad Im sure there are sonic reasons to spend a lot more, and I did before I retired. The point I was trying to make is in the case of the transport is, according to the linked review, it serves up a lot of quality sound @ ~$700, allo... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 Jason, you are somewhat misinformed. I agree that $2K+ transports are too rich for many (including myself), but the following review holds great promise at a sensible price: I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to... | |
| Transports I have owned many transports, and players used as transports, over the decades. I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to the power supply and jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch). I play SACDs direct to my Audio ... | |
| CD transports I had been using my moded Oppo 105 (LPS, Furutec IEC with silver tail to the power supply and jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch). I play SACDs direct to my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, but I use a Pangea XLSE digital coax ($169 from AudioAdvisor)... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player Decades ago, I had 2 CEC transports, which are great, BUT, the belt stretches over time and are unreasonably priced. I did some research and found a company that sells the same size for a fraction of the price. Moreover... Recently, I started inv... | |

| Does anyone have any experience with the LSA VT70? Thoughts, comparisons?? @abd1 Since you are familiar with Underwood, and are interested in a more potent amp (845) I highly recommend you get a LSA Voyager 350, GaN amp, and it's on sale | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Morning Phil! FYI I should, could might.... finally get the EP 2.8s next week. In the mean time, what I learned from reinserting the Marantz HD CD-1, especially after taking the cover and side panels off was revelatory. I could easily have liv... | |

| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? Danny of GR Research fame has a YouTube channel, in which he upgrades lots of speaker XOs. It is amazing how poor the XOs are of many of the well known speaker companies. He offers upgrade kits as well as his own speaker designs | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News Marantz told me the mechanism is discontinued, but gave me the part number in case I could find one on line The entire mechanism needs replacing @ $150+ shipping, and I didn't want to spend that much to repair (it's available for anyone who provi... |
