Surprised by good sound of Teac CD recorder

Per a previous topic, I bought a Teac CD recorder (model TECDRW880), mostly for making CD-R backups from my LP's and cassettes. Goodness, I think it is sounding better as a CD player than my Marantz bargain-audiophile one (several years old, model 63-SE or something like that) or a Sony SACD player when used on CD's. Could this modest $300 CD Recorder with no high-end cred really be superior? - it is newer than my other stuff, though it's been on the market for quite a while.

Willie Nile: Places He Has Never Been

Before I even turn on the recorder, Willie Nile is telling me his theory of how the granite under Manhattan Island conducts electricity, which accounts for the perceptible charge that many people feel makes New York City so special. It's also what draws artists like flies, none more passionate than singer-songwriter Nile, who's personally contributed a few volts during his years in NYC.

Fatigue with new system

Hi,

First, let me say I'm a total noobie. Not only is this my first post, but I'm new to the world of high-end audio.

Anyway, I've recently purchased a pair of Morel Octave 5.2m speakers and connected them to an 8 year old Onkyo dx575x receiver. They're hooked up in a 4m X 2m living room that's missing a wall (it opens to the rest of the house), and the three walls that it does have are currently naked.
