I'm looking to get myself a 2nd hand cd player to play the few cds i have, not wanting to spend more than $100 though really, is it even worth it? It's not like it's going with a high-end setup - a nad c320 and royd apex speakers (occasionally tdl rtl2).
Is a nad cd player likely to pair better with the amp, or at this price range is it really a matter? How much has technology advanced in the last 10 or so years, it seems to me that very old cd players had a warm almost vinyl-like quality, is this in a good way??

I'm kind of bored of seeing the same stuff over and over again on iTunes, and I know that there are a lot of people from around the world on this board, so let me know what's new and cool or old and good from where yall are from. I want to hear some new stuff (and unlike most Americans I am open to music that I've never heard of before, even if it's in a language I don't speak.
What are you listening to?

Anyone out there know of a computer program that I can use to test an external DAC of my own design? USB to S/PDIF adapter? Individual frequencies for harmonic distortion tests. Sweeps for flatness tests. Multiple frequencies for I.M. distortion tests. Variable amplitude outputs for linearity tests.

I posted earlier about this Melos preamp. I now have it on my bench (not working) and it seems to be missing a part, possibly a power regulator. Does anyone out there own an MA-111 that would be willing to pop the top and ID the part? Let me know and I'll send you a photo of the board.

I've just come into possession of a beautiful pair of PSB Image 4T speakers. Its a long story but they were shipped via UPS Ground in a pretty sketchily packed box and, surprise surprise, I now have a problem.

On one of the speakers, the mid-range speaker seems to be damaged. The sound from that one mid-range speaker is very bad. I guess I have to replace it or get it fixed. The problem is that I don't really know where to start on this project: where to look, what to expect to pay, etc.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Best,
