I recently upgraded my very out-of-date Philips Electronic 312 with a Pro-ject 1.2 I purchased on E-bay. My question is; Is this Philips worth anything or should I just through in the trash? The dust cover is all cracked up and the back panel is missing, but it plays fine.

Thank you for your advice.

I have some Mid to High-end equipment. Parasound Halo P3 Preamp/CAL Audio Labs CL-15 CD Player/2 Parasound HCA 1200 amps (Mono)/Apogee Centaur Major Speakers. I was thinking of adding a Graphic Equalizer. I guess my question is: Should I do this or am I going to mess up the sound of my system? I feel I am missing something or maybe my hearing is going the older I get.

I found that speaker positioning was the most single significant factor in room sound. Once proper location was established from the walls, TOE-IN had a huge effect on soundstage and clarity. For many years, I listened to my system with inadequate toe-in. Sam Tellig's recent speaker review clued me in, and once I aimed the speakers at me-WOW !!

Does anyone own, or have auditioned the Ayre CX-7e CD-player?
What can be said about the players character (neutral, soundstage, resolution etc), and overall concerning pricevalue towards others in similar price-range?

In Art Dudley's review, Gordon Rankin refers to a dead silent laptop. I love my laptop, but like others, it gets warm after a while and turns its cooling fan. How does that fan noise (both accoustical and electrical) jibe with dead silent?
