Three weeks with Omega SAM's
I have had Omegas in one system or another for the past 15 years.  Currently pairing the Super 7 MKII bookshelf in my second system with a Rega Brio integrated, Unico CD player, and a Technics GR 1200  turntable.  I am convinced that with the larg...

I just took delivery of the Zu Omen Dirty Weekend floor standers.  Using them with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube power amp & Musical Fidelity CD PRE24 preamp/ cd player.Very pleased so far.  Would go for the upgraded drivers.  No brainer if you...

SB2s were a pretty good speaker.  SB3s were better, as in more of the good that the SB2s offered.  Classic 3s superior to Classic 2s in all ways.Rich  
Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry
Hi Boofer -Pioneer has never said word one about the PLX 1000's ancestry.  As opposed to Denon, for example, who said that its DJ V12 was designed new from the ground up.As I mentioned earlier (2nd post), most of these turntables come out of the H... 
Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry
Well, if you insist on going down this rabbit hole, Google and research Super OEM turntables.  Loads of videos on YouTube.  Most of these turntables are produced & rebadged out of the Hanpin factory in China or owe some of their heritage to th...

CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Math is right, sentence structure is so so.  The MF CD PRE24 is 15 years old, which is old for a CD player and frustrating that you can not get a new replacement drive for it.  I believe the Nu Vista from that time uses the same drive.  Not that c... 
NuForce STA 200
I have the CDA 250 and love it.  So, that would be my vote.  I have a working ADCOM GTP 500 II (with the remote) that I do not use anymore.  If you send me your address (private message), I will send it to you free of charge.  You would use this a... 
NuForce STA 200
Hi Justin -The thing with the Adcom GTP 500 and 535 is that those pieces are almost 30 years old.  They are most likely due for an overhaul, so you would not be saving money in the long run.  I would still recommend the Class D audio (CDA250).  Th... 
CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Hi Rlb61 -There were always 'proceed with caution' warnings with the lens cleaners, but the SONY product seemed well reviewed and I figured what the hell.  I had probably played the CD several dozen times with no issues.  In any event, it worked. ... 
NuForce STA 200
Hi Justin -You need to chill my friend.  Based on your last post, you are jumping from amp to amp, being turned around by a low price, and you seemed determined to only buy used from local sellers.The Nu Force is a well regarded and reviewed amp. ... 
CD Player Won't Read One CD Only
Funny enough ... I have a MF CD PRE 24 from 2003 and the laser started speeding up the playback of Paul Simon's Live Rhymin' for the first time ever a few weeks ago.  No other CD was misplayed.  No other CD player misplayed the Paul Simon disc.  I...
