Hi,
I have a Micromega Stage 1 CD player which I am using as a transport for a Channel Island Audio VDA-1, along with a Rega Mira amp. I am looking to change out the CD and I don't know whether to go for a modern CD player like the Rotel RCD-1072, or use something older that might match up better, like the old Rega Planet, and keep using the VDA-1.

Is a modern CD player like the Rotel so much better than my 10 year old Micromega coupled with a modern DAC? Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Thanks

Hi to you all,

I succefully repaird a Thule CD 150B player with a new philips 12.4 transport (thanks to the kind suggestion of another forum member).
Given the components of the player (cf picture from the simular but non balanced Thule cd 100) it's rather sensitive to shocks etc. but it sounds great.
I would like to know if there are (besides the 3M resonance absorbing foils i've used already in the casing) ways to improve further the stability of the transport itself.

thanks

My father once gave me a record of the LvB Violin Concerto played by Alfredo Campoli with the RPO conducted by John Pritchard (HMV Concert Classics SXLP 20043). Campoli's playing is quite beautiful but I suppose this disc has more sentimental value than anything. It was one of his favourites and I remember him playing it (loudly!) on Sunday mornings from when I was very small.

Hi

Anyone got experience of this brand ?

They seem to be internet only but they get very good reviews on customer service sights

Any thoughts

Steve

I haven't received my issue yet, but the blurb for the April issue made me laugh.

Has Dudley suddenly become a better listener or has he finally put aside his fanatic skepticism about cables? Or, has the cable technology recently taken a giant leap?

What gives, AD?
