| Has Anyone Heard the AMR CD-77 CD Player? Hi, I had the Jadis JD3 with its integrated DAC in my system for a few years. As with all Jadis, the JD3 is an incredibly melodious unit and at the time I bought it unbeatable for its price. Meanwhile the Jadis price tags have become quite hefty, ... | |
| Has Anyone Heard the AMR CD-77 CD Player? Hi, look up the thread titled:Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?I have been using it for about two months now, that should amount to something like 100-120 hours, and it keeps getting better. I now plan to swap the already very good pow... | |
| What time do you wear? A fake Piaget until my 25th or thereabouts; thereafter none, and I hope I can keep it that way | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Hi Brian, Not so much on the AMR CD-77 but as requested here are my impressions of the PS Audio Power Plant Premier.I've gone through several sessions of comparison now. The power set-up of the system was as follows:1) without PS PPP: AMR CD-77 wi... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? I have been using PS Audio's Power Plant Premier for about a week now and have noticed that even after extended listening sessions, the AMR heats up considerably less than before. Interestingly, the Premier's display shows that the incoming voltag... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? I can put your mind at ease: it does warm up considerably, but most certainly not to the extent you describe if you give it the top shelf (for a top loader, I think that is what most of us would do) | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Hi Bob, since yesterday I am the proud owner of a CD-77. I had been looking to replace my Jadis JD3 that had been showing first mechanical signs of its age and had been auditioning a few machines in the EUR 10k-range including Burmester 001, DCS P... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2006 Volkswagen Passat with Dynaudio speakers in'em (conveniently cruising accompanied by the groove of Marc Moulin) | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... Another one falling prey to Led Zep, in my case "Immigrant Song". I vividly recall being in the garden on a freezing cold night (interested in astronomy, nothing else) when it burst out from somewhere in the neigbourhood. I didn't know who or what... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Absolutely love it. In addition of everything that's been said so far, it's one of those albums that, played at low level, creates a superb mood of well-being (by which I'm not, repeat, not for a moment suggesting it were just "easy listening"). | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Just for additional information (sure wish I could say I had listened to this myself); in the latest issue (6/06) of the German magazine LP, the combination TWA Raven AC / Da Vinci Grandezza / Clearaudio Goldfinger is described as "sonic nirvana",... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? 1) Well Tempered Reference TT and arm;2) Tidal Contriva speakers (unless Joern Janczak has another - affordable - ace up the sleeve) | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Around 1974 on a student's budget: belt driven Pioneer with Shure MM , I can't possibly recall the model designations anymore.Around 1981 on some of my first earned wages: Technics SL-QL1 linear tracking direct drive with T4P plug-in Ortofon TMC 2... | |
