Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $500.00 from Bright Star audio Am

Summary:
I bought this wonderfull cd player second hand for only 500 euro, this is a discontinued model from Rotel with a super sound, very good D/A convertor, a Buur Brown pcm 1732 ic mechanism, very advance and near high end for this price, also very good build, beautifull designed, much better than the super expensive Marantz cd 17 or cd 17 mk II which use the old mechanism 12.3 from Philips which is original designed for cd rom and not cd players !!! anyway this review is about Rotel which for his price is worth truly the money, i tried Mozart, Vivaldi, Schubert in classics and it is almost that i have them in my roon and the the pop music i have listened to Rick Wakeman, Enya and Earth Wind and Fire ans it sound super, i am very happy that i have this cd player, i used with a amplifier Marantz pm 14 Ki and speakers Linn.

I truly recomend this cd player us one of the best ever made !

Strengths:
almost everything, top cd player for the value !

Weaknesses:
remote control is made of plastic and does not have connector for earphones

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

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.
