Yes that's I meant ... viola ;)

Transport is back - dropped in the two most offending CD's that wouldn't read and WELLA they play.

Latter all ...

I don’t believe blind testing was brought up until you mentioned it - You’re reaching to extremes that would apply to all things audio.

DIYer ... the difference is audible – however I’m not convinced that it’s necessarily better – it might have a place with older recordings – the optional sample rates would be fun to engage on the fly for comparisons - you’d have to live with it for awhile to truly scrutinize the main...

Soundhound... back to tube D/AC’s for a moment – what’s your view on non defeatable D/AC’s that upsample 24/96 – 24/192 without the 44.1 sample option? – some have the option to engage one of the three modes on the fly - this is proving to be not an easy endeavour since I'm come to like the...

On the Vaughan Williams/Marriner recording – ‘The Lark Ascending’ fair amount of Room Tone is used to mimic lark in flight/moving air – is this still Room Tone or another effect?

Thank You Zingy!

That’s it!! Room Tone/ Presence describes it beautifully – Thank you. You know it’s a curse when one has such an ultra revealing system and puts up with this sort of thing :snooty: Soundhound ... while I have your attention talk me out of Tubed CDP or standalone Tube D/AC

When a musical passage goes almost motto for a second or two before continuing to the next passage – similar to the tape noise one sometime hears on certain remastered CD’s - my best description is an electronic energy that’s heard/felt captured on recording – it’s pretty much when you feel a...

The resolve comes quickly – needed repairs are - new belt / re-sit the disc seat = $112 – that’s pretty fair.

DIYer ... interesting suggestion!

The CD-3000 uses the best Burr Brown DAC, the PCM-1794, the Burr-Brown SRC1492 24-bit/192kHz upsampling processor and a very fine Phillips CD7 MKII top loading transport that is coupled to a better clock than most units at twice its price. This lowers jitter. The balanced output employs 4 x...

Rope ... its uncanny how you see through me – actually I’m hoping not to go this path – very happy with Parasound pair – if repair of Transport is satisfactory there won’t be any upgrades on digital end.

Agreed! Let's move on. Transport was delivered to service tech this afternoon – I’ve owned the pair approximately 10 yrs - hopefully the repair will be good for another few years – if not - seriously considering tubed player - the problem with this player you have to built a shrine for it -...

Not always silly. I'm going to TGIF thread - where I'll post eatable strawberry blond - see you there.

DIYer ... this is Canada $100 will buy you ham and cheese - tech's guess estimate closer to $200 - I don't want to split up the Parasound pair unless absolute - the pair originally were $4000 and still hold up today - then again...OOPS...I forgot....most here subscribe to all CD players sound alike.

Just got off the phone with Parasound service – tech believes it’s a tracking motor problem not the laser assembly so in it goes for service.

I’m going TGIF thread now ...Christopher Columbus!

Amazing how it gets all confusing :) Happy Birthday anyway.
