...or any 1212ms for that matter? Still taking orders, Zemo?

I currently have the supposed dream combo Earmax Pro and CD3000, and the sound is warm and mellow but I always end up falling asleep, no matter what music I listen to :-/ I'll probably sell the EMP and go SS in the near future. I'll post an ad in the For Sale forum soon but if anyone is...

I've been discussing this quite a bit with user Adamzuf. Adam tried this rig with his upgraded DI/O and thought it sounded bad. However, I'm under the impression that the cd3000 + a good solid-state amp (xp-7, or why not the Corda HA-1 mkII?) would be a pretty nice setup for most kinds of music...

I would say "Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto - Interstella 5555". This animated musical based on Daft Punk's album "Discovery" totally blew my socks off. Also, the Limited Edition DVD is extremely well made. A very recommended buy.

Thanks for all the answers! I just remembered another thing; should I turn the amp off when changing ICs? Should I turn it off when plugging headphones in and out?

A couple of days ago I received my first tube amp, an Earmax Pro, bought from Adamzuf. He told me that I could have the amp turned on all the time, but I can't help but wonder if the tubes become damaged or "used up" in some way when the amp just sits there without a load to drive. So...

I use FLAC because it's lossless and completely open source. Also, encoding/decoding time is very fast.

I would like some vwap pads as well! Come on vwap, you know you want to make them again!

What's the price on these players?

That looks rather cool...

Marantz CD6000 OSE/LE is not that cheap in Sweden. It costs $700 or 600 euros new. I just want to know if this is a really good deal or if I should let it pass and look for something else.

Hi, I need advice on a purchase. I have been looking to buy my first real good CDP, and now I've found what I think is a good deal on the above mentioned player. The price is about $570 + shipping, it's used but in mint condition and it has warranty left on it. The other equipment to be used...

As far as I know your system would benefit rather nicely from upgrading the amp... I don't know about cables though, depends on what you have right now.

Breaking news? No. It's been available in Sweden since sometime this summer as far as I know. It costs about $320 here which may sound a lot but it really isn't because the Swedish Krona has been gaining more on the US Dollar lately...

my guess will be... 162
