Vinylrowe, you may be interested in this. I heard good things about the Russian 6N1P-EV tubes and although they're not drop-in replacements for the 6922/6DJ8 types used in the Raysonic, they are very similar. I queried Raysonic and they gave me the go-ahead to substitute. I like them better in my 128 than the best 6922s I had been using using (JAN Philips). Many Eastern European Ebay sellers seem to have them -- mine came from a Ukrainian seller @$17.00 for all four, including shipping to Potomac, MD, and they got here in 10 days! Two friends have also bought them and love them. Dave
More CD Player selection woes
I'm looking to replace the "weak link" in my system: A Denon DCD-1560 CD player. While its held its own over the years (being a 20-bit player and all), it is time for it to go.
I find my Well-Tempered Classic TT, EAR Phono Amp, and Grado cartridge to be my preferred setup, but I do want a CD player to come close to that sound. Of course, budget is all constraining so I need help deciding between a NEW Cambridge 840C; or one of those Chinese tube player; Cayin CDT 17A or Shanling etc.; or a USED/DEMO McIntosh MCD 201; or Meridian 208 (if I can find one).
Has anyone had experience with the Chinese models? How do they hold up?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
