Thanks, that is helpful

Thanks, very good points!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Interested in opinions on a new CD player. Considering the Marantz 6007, the Rotel CD11 and CD14, also the Audiolab CD transport and using the DAC on my Yamaha RN803D. I noticed Rotel have a new CD14 out and the old version is reduced in price. Anyone views on the new versus old version? All...

Hi All, thank you all for your valuable inputs. I have purchased a Debut Carbon Evo and a Pro-ject Tube Box S2 as I was offered a good deal for the package. I am delighted with the sound and ability to vary the amplifier gain. Thanks again. 😁
