Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $135.00 from Tafelberg Furnishers

Summary:
Wow! Bargain, bargain, bargain!

I just love this cd player. It was marked down as an open-box item and the RCA cable and manual was missing. In the bargain bin, but was boxed with full warrantee. Could not resist - asked for best price and got another $40 off. Did not think twice and paid before anyone else could grab it - sale on. Hooked it up on my Yamaha DSP-AX1 and it really shines. I always thought my AX1 was no good with music, but this cd player has completely proved that theory wrong. I have dragged all my old cd's out from storage and am enjoying them all over again.

Ipod has been packed away for now.

Very simple interface and not much fancies - just the way I like a cd player. Excellent sound reproduction - 2Hz (yes, two) - 20kHz. Very linear to my critical ears. Rich and rewarding sound.

Dire Straits is playing a personal concert in my house right now - yes come over and have a listen.

The remote's range is very good and both the player and the remote has 0 lag on operation.

Optical out.

Best sound on a budget.

Strengths:
Value is unrivaled IMHO
Dimmable display
reads everything perfectly
uncluttered interface
detailed, well-rounded sound
relatively light, but well constructed
Nice slim remote fits nicely in my hand.

Weaknesses:
mechanical noise when changing disks

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $145.00 from good guys

Summary:
I purchased a Denon DCM280 at the first beginning at Goodguys. The sound is awesome and easy to operate. However, it won't recognize 1 out of 10 from my CD collection. I was piss off and going to return the CD player. I eventually exchanged it to Yamaha CDC 585. May be the sound not as good as Denon, it is definitely above average. The more important thing is it recognizes all cd in my collection.

Strengths:
Reliable mechanism, smooth sound at a reasonable price.

Weaknesses:
Not MP3/HDCD compatible.

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.
