| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) About a week ago I decided to reinsert my Marantz HD-CD 1, purchased to use as a transport and possible backup player, when/if the Oppo dies. It was fuller sounding, with more bass, but sadly developed scratching issues in the magnetic clamp. The ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I hope it doesn’t deteriorate, too My Voyager is driving Emerald Physics 3.4s, also Open Baffle. My first OBs were Accoustat 2 + 2s, then Maggie 3.5Rs before EP KC IIs, followed by the 3.4s. I’ve owned a few really good box speakers, too; Genesis... | |
| Best place to use better xlr cable Closest to the source unless the source is not as good as the preamp | |

| Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators? I owned a premier Power Plant and was not happy. I sent it back for upgrade but it was the same when I got it back. Much better luck with Core Power PLC. They also have a Deep Core but I don't have one yet. AND I have a balanced dedicated line for... | |

| some rookie questions Easy Peasy: get a coax cable (see link below) mine is1.5m, but the 2.0m is good, too. It connects between your Technics SUG700 digital coax input from the transport coax out. I think it is directional. You can buy direct from AA and still get fre... | |
| some rookie questions IMHO, you haven't heard your system yet. Getting the most from any system (yours is quite good for anyone, let alone a "rookie), one should start with the source, if it isn't as good as the rest of your system, it becomes the limiting factor. Firs... | |
| What are you tweaking this weekend? Round about tweak First, when feasible, I take the covers off my gear, as with my Voyager GaN350 and (and my EVS 1200 before it) and my Oppo 105. I also have/had a Marantz HD CD-1, used as a transport. It started making scratching sounds, so I... | |

| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News A fellow 'file on another site, helped me get to the heart of the problem. After several attempts to communicate via TMs, I was able to get the disc off, but didn't notice anything obvious, so thinking the problem is deeper= $$$. Will reconnect t... | |
| Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility Having had my open baffle speakers on a pair for well over a year, they are excellent for finding best placement in the room, but once that's accomplished, the sooner they are off the dollys, the better. I my case, I didn't have any help, so smash... | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News Ive owned quite a few top loaders, too. The problem has nothing to do with the tray | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News Thanks. It will likely cost more to repair at a shop, typically $100 to inspect, than it's worth. Here I am trying to clarify the problem: Once the top is off, directly on top, there's a metal disc connected to a shaft, which apparently comes... |
