    Safe Headphone Volume

    From what I’ve read, using an SPL meter to determine the db level coming out of headphones isn’t something you can accurately do outside of a lab. I’ve read on more than one site about something I’ve seen referred to as the “talking test.” As the theory goes, if you can carry on a regular...

    NAD C515BEE or Onkyo DX-7555?

    Amazon did go back up to $599. But J&R is charging $399. When you go onto their page for the DX-7555, right underneath the $594 price (in smaller print) is a paragraph that tells you to call their 1-800 number for the absolute latest pricing. Ordering it over the phone the price is $399. And B&H...

    NAD C515BEE or Onkyo DX-7555?

    Right or wrong, all the talk of NAD unreliability on the internet scared me off of NAD. So I ordered the Onkyo DX-7555 from J&R for $400. No shipping charge. And no tax unless you live in NY where they have their store. Unfortunately (at least as it applies to this purchase), I live in NY. So I...

    NAD C515BEE or Onkyo DX-7555?

    I think I'd buy the C515BEE right now if not for one thing. In doing a proposterous amount of research into cd players (people buy cars and houses with less laboring than I'm doing), I've come across a lot of users who feel that NAD CD players have real reliability issues. Major problems with...

    NAD C515BEE or Onkyo DX-7555?

    The ridiculous thing is that I'm not in the middle of nowhere. It's a half hour drive to NY City. But not one authorized NAD dealer has a C515BEE on dispay or in stock. They'd have to order one for me. I'm not sure if that's the case with the C545BEE. There are two stores in the city that carry...

    NAD C515BEE or Onkyo DX-7555?

    I’m in the market for a CD player to play Redbook and CD-Rs exclusively. My absolute high is $450 total. I’m also not comfortable buying a used CD player. So this rules out a lot of players. I’ve narrowed my choices to two – The NAD C515BEE and the Onkyo DX-7555. There are no stores near me that...
