    NAD 5325 Drawer Springs

    I just bought a NAD 5325 CD Player, and I noticed that the drawer is supposed to have two (approximately 1" long) coil springs (one on each side of the drawer), apparently to open and close it. Only the right spring is there, and I can't seem to find the other one. Is that an issue? The deck...

    Digital sources (flac and DSD) vs CD

    Hi all. I have a Marantz CD63SE player that I used to play CDs on it twenty years ago. After moving to a new city I left my system in their boxes for many years untouched, practically left the hobby. Just beginning last year I felt the itch to listen to my stuff again, and found the Marantz's...

    CDX-1100U - disc read issue

    Hi all, this is my first post here. I recently acquired my 1100U from a family friend, it plays nicely but only with certain discs. Initially thought it only liked “older” discs, like early 90s, but that has proven to be false. My latest copy of Led Zeppelin II remaster from 2015 works...

    Who has gotten rid of their CDs -- and how?

    I am very eager for more space at home and a better sense of "mobility" down the road. So I have been thinking about finally getting rid of CDs. Reading other posts here I see that I shouldn't count on getting even $1 for them unless I were to attempt to sell them individually in some way. And...

    ONKYO C-N7050 Network CD Player

    Anyone have any experience with one of these? From what I can tell it looks like the 7030 CD player with network, USB/iPod and streaming features added. Considering buying one from overseas, or alternatively just getting an Onkyo 7030 and then finding a nice way to hook up my laptop to vintage...

    CD player: Vintage vs. New, your thoughts please

    Hi all, I've got some vintage gear I use for listening to LPs and thought it was about time to add a CD player back into the mix. My current system is: Onkyo M-504 Amp, Onkyo P-303 Pre, Onkyo T-909 Tuner, Onkyo E-30 EQ, Denon DP-47F turntable, and DCM Time Window speakers. I'm on the fence...

    Favorite portable CD player with translucent lid?

    The other day I spotted a pack of Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R discs on the shelf at Walmart. They look so cool, and I just had to get them. I've never been particularly interested in CD audio, but it would be a waste to use these just for data storage, so I'd like to find a decent portable CD...

    Magnavox CD Player, FD 3030, made in Belgium circa 1984

    Dug this out of my garage, picked it up at a garage sale a while back--damned it it doesn't work, and beautifully at that, once it had warmed up. Any thoughts on this guy? Very retro, even if it plays digital media.

    Single CD Player Recommendations?

    Hi all, I've currently got a Sony CDP-C515, which works fine, but since I can now stream playlists from my computer the carousel functionality is more annoying than useful. I'm looking to replace it with a cd player that only does 1 disc at a time. I use the optical out to a AudioEngine D1, so...

    Yamaha CD players... the best?

    Hello all, I'm new here and have some questions about early Yamaha cd players. I have assembled what I believe to be a very good entry-level Yamaha-only kit but I believe the CD player could be improved. Any opinions on what the "good" or "best" CD players from Yamaha are? Specifically looking...

    My Denon DCD-1520 vs. all CD players on the planet earth

    Hi all, I have been a dedicated vinyl enthusiast for years, and have also always kept a smaller collection of CD's. I am not a vinyl snob to the extent that I dismiss CD's, in fact I quite like them for many reasons and want to grow my CD collection. My CD player is a Denon DCD-1520, found in...

    In my Ears or Between my Ears - iTunes

    Morning all, I struggle with the quality of iTunes music when I hook it up to my quality stereo at home. Car? Fine. Computer speakers at work? Fine. Docking station? Fine. Good quality home stereo? Dull and lifeless, and lacking dynamics. Reviewing my files, I started buying iTunes...

    Portable DAC vs CD player

    I'm looking at 2 options 1) Using my current run of the mill 20 year old DVD player to play my CDs and send the digital signal to a Fiio E17k then a line out from the Fiio to my vintage receiver. 2) Do a bunch of research on which CD or DVD players have good DAC chips and scrounge Craigslist and...

    Onkyo DX-702 Scratched CDs

    I don't know how this player can do this, but my DX-702 can pretty much play any CD no matter what condition it's in. Most of my CDs are in pretty good condition, but I have a few that are pretty torn up. The DX-702 plays them perfectly. Has anybody else ran into players like this, or seen the...

    Howdy! I've been lurking AK for a few months now since I was gifted a Crosley briefcase turntable at Christmas.

    NEC CD-530 CD player... any good?

    I found an NEC CD-530 CD player for ~$20. I'm looking for a CD player that sounds good but for a budget price (I'm 15 and unfortunately don't have a lot of cash...). Any opinions on this CD player? Should I buy it? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    The Great Consumer Heist

    I've had a Teac ST-1250s laying about the house forgotten for the past year+. I received it as a gift, sort of. (The email I was given to post payment to via PayPal was apparently not associated with an account, and I could not raise the seller again.) But this "heist" isn't the subject of my...

    Amp advice request: What Yamaha(s) to go for next?

    1) I started this past year with an RX-396. I paired it with an Onkyo EQ. I liked the sound. It was good with my Luxman turntable, too. I upgraded to an RX-596, and found a nice, simple Yamaha CD player for the CD Amp Direct mode. I didn't know how I'd live without an EQ, but I'm a Pure...
