Pass Labs Aleph Question - balanced vs unbalanced?
I have experienced a bit of hum using the RCA's on Pass Aleph amps that I have not experienced with other amps. My preamp had only RCA outputs so I never could run balanced, but I have read on many posts on other forums that an XLR input does infa...

Any YBA Design YC201 Cd player users out there?
Thanks for your reply comparing the YBA Design (or called "Y" in Europe) to their Passion line. I am really enjoying my YA201 integrated. I find it better in a terms of a musical, listenable sound that I have ever had before. Not since the'70s any...

How does PS Audio's amps fit into the mix? 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Smargo,I wasn't challenging you or anyone else about the 840's sound quality, and I'm glad you found the cdp that fits your system. I was just probing into people's psychology of buying and selling, trying to give an answer to those who posted que... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Remember, many of the units sold used are re-sells. I think some users buy them used to see what all the hub bub is all about and resell them when they realize their existing cdp has better synergy in there system or realize the improvement is sub...

I posted on this forum and Audio Asylum when I was asking questions about the DVD8 which lead me down the path of research that end with me buying the HD-970 (980 was not out yet). Others confirmed my findings. I expected Cary to do mods or add a ...

Cambridge Audio 840C
Mdconnelly,I have not heard the 840c but am considering it. But, I must admit that having a 3D soundstage with good air, blackness, and edge delineation carries a lot of weight towards a good listening experience. Once the cdp shopping comparisons...

Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c
Nice mini review on the 2 cdp's. Thanks for you insights. I think I would prefer the 840 for the same reasons you stated. I love absolute vocal clarity and outstanding dynamics. I have had the laid back sound before and I eventually tire of it, bu... 
Jolida JD700 vs Jolida JD100A
I auditioned both players. (Plus a Cary CD308, Rega Planet 2000, and an Onkyo DVD player) Without going into detail, the audio performance of the 700 isn't up to the 100. The 700's remote was also a cheap waffer remote (like that of the Bose radio...
