Posted by Iced halo on 2006-10-13, 19:29:24 (203.214.4.87)
I've recently purchased Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cables, which made a huge improvement to my system. Currently the components are: CDP- Accuphase DP55V Amp- Sugden A21SE Speakers- Tannoy Saturn 6 I .......

I'm tossing up between Nordost speaker cables, either Blue Heaven or the higher range cables Red Dawn and Baldur. Has anyone compared between these cable models (specfically speaker cables and not int .......

Ed, I have an Accuphase DP55V, just wondering if you preferred the sound going through the EAR preamp, and if so, why? Cheers, Mike .......

Zozo, That looks like a mighty fine preamp! The Accuphase costs much much more than the Arcam where I live, and it seems to be improving every day! I have balanced inputs on the amp but its not a full .......

Bob and David, The DP-55V has the 24-bit dacs and also -40db attenuation, I wonder if it is easier for Accuphase to implement a volume control with less attenuation? Anyway, the player has improved a .......

The Accuphase is definitely a smooth player, but with a slight treble tilt that matches well with my system, but YMMV. Cheers, Mike .......

Hi Zozo, What preamp are you using at the moment? I find that the louder I go, the better it sounds... which is logical except that the sound seems "compressed" when playing more softly that cannot be .......

Hi Fmak, What kind of attenuator are you referring to? Do you mean a resistor-based stepped attenuator/volume pot, or some kind of network that will lower the gain of the cdp? If so, where can I find .......

Actually, now that I think about it, is there a possible "cheap" solution to this problem in the form of attenuators I can connect to the analog outs to attenuate the signal? Cheers, Mike .......

Hi all, Thanks for all your responses. I emailed Accuphase and they replied back very promptly, and stated that the digital volume control found on their cdp's is not meant for direct connection to a .......

Hi all, I purchased an Accuphase DP55V cd player a few days ago and the sound quality has thus far been quite good. Since I have a pretty poor preamp at the moment (actually a HT receiver), I run the .......

G'day forty, Some idiot friend of mine sat on my remote and turned up the preamp to full gain... having a 200W Rotel power amp play at full bore through my Tannoys is not something I want to ever expe .......

9fold, G'day, its Mike_Ch from over at HTF. Do a search and you'll find that the redbook on this player is excellent, and I believe at least one user compared it to players of the calibre of Arcam FMJ .......
