To start a hifi system by choosing a cd player first is a bit strange as the amp and speakers are much more important components. If you bought a marantz or yamaha amp then most models (please check before buying) include a dac. You could then play cds from a cheap dvd player via the amplifier's...

I still have a topaz cd10 in the attic. The loading mechanism is rough/noisy and cds take an age to load. Some models also place a silent gap when one track runs into another. As far as I'm aware via reviews the cambridge cd players higher in the range eg cd351 are much better. The yamaha cd...

Athough marantz make good equipment a number of reviews on https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/separates/cd-players.html suggest there can be problems with older discs with marantz cd players. I personally have the yamaha s300 and it is faultless, loading is very quiet, the reviews suggest no...

Papa's chip shop in Hull won the bbc "great british takeaway" award, if I remember right. Maybe the seller is a person of considerable refinement.

This company is well regarded, though I don't have one of their dacs, you could research reviews http://schiit.eu.com/dacs

I'm just waitng the cricket to start, and, being at a loose end, did a cursory count of the posts so far. 89/241 posts contain knowledge against, or scepticism towards cables making a difference or are written by people who have given that view in other posts on the thread, 151/241 are by people...

I've just checked the issue you have written about and it's the same with me, though as I say only with threads I have already read before I have logged in.

ok, sorry about last sentence....

These days my posts are no longer being treated as spam, thanks to prevoius action by mods. However, if I read a thread before logging in, I am not not able to post a reply except to threads I didn't read before I logged in, so I have to close down the internet, start it up again and login again...

Hello A view Your initial aim was to decisively upgrade the amp, then gradually your your use of budget has changed to include a tuner and cd source. You probably don't need a tuner. If you got a marantz pm 6006 for £270, which includes a dac you could use the freeview on your tv via an...

I think that if you read a thread before logging in, then if you reaccess that thread it doesn't recognise you as logged in, whereas if you choose a thread you have not read before you logged in, all is ok.

the more recent series of 5xxx, 6xxx,7xxx,8xxx have probably been running for 7/8 years with sequential models adding a digit, eg the 6 series started at 6001 and 5 improvements later has reached 6006. The 8 series is better than 7 series etc etc. My best guess is that the 2nd hand models you...
