Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $650.00 from CTA

Summary:
I was owning a CD50 from Atoll and was kind of happy with it untill I decided to upgrade my speakers. I happened to listen to the CD80 and was completely BLOWN away by the difference.

If you are considering buying a player in this price range, you should listen to Atoll players. But SKIP THE CD50 AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE CD80. The 200 extra $ are DEFINITELY there.

I use it with an Audioanalyse PA90 amp, JM Reynaud Evolution3 speakers, Cardas Audio Quadlink 5 interconnect and Silver Line Eagle Cable

Strengths:
Sharp, uncoloured yet detailed sound from bass to high, good response

Weaknesses:
Cheap limited remote, would not mind programming capability

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
