| Which Would You Choose? Mceljo:Just something to be aware of so you're not under the wrong impression and I've stated this before in other posts. If you look at Marantz surround sound AVRs, the power specs are misleading. Take a another look at the SR6006 specifications.... | |
| NAD M5 died with op.59 No.3 How old is your M5? In general, NAD's quality control has not been stellar over the past say 10 years or so in particular their disc players. They've had their share of product problems. I know I've been a victim myself. I love the NAD sound and i... | |
| BluRay Player Recommendation I recommend the Marantz UD5005. Fabulous player. Just got mine about one month ago. Terrific. | |
| best way to sell??? Audiogon is THE site to sell high end audio, hands down. It's very well managed and works!! Yes I agree with all of Todd's input. Well done. I would add that you should post several photos of the unit showing its front, rear panel, etc. Be totally... | |
| Fourplay Foreplay... I'm a fan of Fourplay as I am of Coltrane, Blakey, Horace Silver, Miles, the Crusaders, Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, etc. Jazz music is an art of improvisation. I recommend you read the book "The History of Jazz" by Ted Gioia. Excelle... | |
| Blu-Ray, SACD & NetFlix player? The Marantz UD-5005 for one. Just purchased mine last week and love it. Today I got the Youtube feature working and it's a great plus. Didn't purchase this for the Youtube feature alone but mostly for playing Blu-ray discs and concert DVDs. Audio ... | |
| Marantz SA-8400 Folks, as I've posted in previous threads, this unit actually doesn't have it all. It's missing a major feature within SACD. It will only play 2 channel SACDs and not multi-channel. If you listen to music strictly in 2 channel and upgrade to SACDs... | |
| Blu ray and DVD-A 5.1 Remasters I am thoroughly enjoying my multi-channel SACDs. I've got TOTO IV on right now (Rosanna, Africa, etc) in remastered multi-channel SACD over my Rotel/NAD/B&W 5.1 system and it is simply magnificent. Love multi-channel SACDs. I have a few Blu-ra... | |
| SONY still makes SACD Player?- Any 5400ES update? Good thread. One point I'd like to make on this. While the Marantz SA8004 is a fantastic unit with many accolades and actually just got named "Source of the Year" in Jan 2012 issue of TAS, it only plays stereo SACDs and not multi-channel. That gre... | |
| Surround sound processor vs receiver Thanks. Yes it is a sweet setup. No I haven't looked at the Cary or Krell units as they're most likely out of my budget. But I'll take a peek on-line. Thanks. | |
| NAD C541 Tray Won't Open I believe the C541 player has not been manufactured for a number of years now. So I don't think it would still be in warranty. I agree that it would be safest to remove the top cover and carefully extract the disc. Then you can inspect to see if t... | |
| New to the game. Need some beginners advice. Buy or find in your library a book called, "The Complete Guide to High End Audio" by Robert Harley. It's an excellent resource you'll want to have on your coffee table. That's where mine is. On-line articles and reviews are great but nothing repla... | |
| on-line music vs CDs & SACDs Lloydelee21: Thanks for the excellent feedback. That clarifies a lot for me. Sounds like on-line downloading is still in its infancy especially high resolution audio. I guess I'm old fashioned but downloading music just seems like cheating even th... | |
| Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072 Thanks all for the additional responses. Players in the $3K to $5K would simply not be in my budget with a senior in high school heading to college next year !! But would love to have one. Perhaps someday. Achilles, yes I was considering the NAD M... | |
| Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072 Thanks folks. I get the consensus and that's kind of what I thought. The Rotel is a tough act to follow. I was thinking of the Rega Apollo. But you're right in that there's probably very little difference in performance.I'll most likely now look e... |
