I was wrong the CDP is working like usual, which isn't say that it's working very well. BUT it is working.

System edited: It seems as though the trusty Nakamichi has quit on me. I have not been able to the CDP to accept a disc. I have tried several and it spits them back out. I wonder if it's a commentary on my music. Any suggestions in the $200-$500 range?

I wish I could be more helpful with that one. I have a couple of XRCD's. They are usable on a redbook only CDP, but are of higher quality than standard redbook. Maybe they are similar to the CBS 'super bit mapping' CD's but I'm not sure.

Maybe someone else can offer more insight.

Redbook is the standard CD format, as opposed up over sampled up sampled, super Audio, or DVD-A.

I have had better systems. The speakers are tiny, but for the room in which they sit, they're probably a good match. Tubes are kinda new to me. I had them a long time ago.

It isn't a great system, but I've heard worse. I've probably owned worse!

I bought a box set of "25 Jazz Greats" a few years ago and have heard a number of things I really like. The usual suspects are all there, but I also got a chance to hear Teddy Wilson, Fletcher Henderson, and Bix Beiderbecke. SInce then I've bought some Louis Armstrong and others. I realy don't know that much about the people, I just like the music.

Ray I have all kinds of different stuff. Lately I've been on somewhat of a Pink Floyd kick. I have some classic rock, a tiny bit of country, and some Jazz.

I liked Ultravox in the 80's and still buy Midge Ure's stuff. That's not much of an answer, but it's all I got.

It doesn't really sound that bad. I have had better stuff inthe past, and in better rooms.

The room I have it in is tiny, and with the little bit of furniture I do have there really isn't a good place to sit, but I still have it on most of the time.

Thanks Mr Printer, I wish I could afford to upgrade something.

I may sound like one, but what's a DIP?

System edited: Maybe it's not the worst on AudiogoN anymore. The integrated amp is a lot better than the Sherwood receiver! The purist sounds better than the patchcords I had before.

System edited: It's a step up from the old system, but when I built a new office I thought I would need a better system.
