| A blowing session???? "Which would lead me to my next question, perhaps this is why Miles Davis ’progressed’ into the discovery ( if you can call it that?) of fusion." A reason (and not the only one,) is that Davis wanted to play music that would appeal to fans of roc... | |
| Upgrading cd player @tattooedtrackman Congratulations! The synergy between ARC products is superb, which is why I purchased a Ref CD 6SE. Enjoy! David | |

I’ve got some free time coming up and am going to listen as many of your recommendations, as possible. One of my favorite "little knowns" is the CD, On The Town, Pete Malinverni Plays... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing FYI-The search is over and the decision is made. Likely not a surprise, I'm going with the ARC REF CD 6SE, that's on loan (Hope you are okay with that, thyneame :-)). Ultimately, the synergy with my other ARC components, the ability to get a repla... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad - "Sounds like a good plan. You have heard it in your system and confirmed it is a fantastic fit." I think so, also. The REF CD6SE is a terrific unit. I wasn't entirely "sold" on the sound when first listening to it. Coming from the... | |
