The Rotel CD11 Tribute player and Marantz 6007 get very good reviews, the Marantz is $100 more and has usb

The old Rotel 855 was my first quality cd player back in the 90's btw 😊before I jumped up to California Audio Labs

I’ve had my eye on the Rotel since I started getting Audio Advisor catalog. Although I don’t remember how I ended up on their mailing list. I also like that it comes in silver 😁

If and when I get one, I'm probably going to purchase the Marantz CD6007 because it's one of the best CD player you can buy at that price.
 
But does it come in silver?

Nope but that's fine because I wouldn't want it in silver anyway 😁

Oh well I suppose the cost of having taste means you’ll have to go for this one instead then @LiamGallagher’sBucketHat !


Seriously though the audiolab 6000CDT is meant to be an excellent CD player too!

Which I would consider if I had an audiolab 6000A.

I’m just laughing over here because of that price tag.
 
So regarding speakers and upgrading. I kept having to tweak the settings on the power amps that have been static since I got the Mahi's to get it where I like it. I decided to check bias, and turns out a few tubes where running a bit hot. Got them all set and presto, everything is back to golden. I didn't have a speaker problem I needed to check bias.
 
I'm only a few hours in, but the Leak Stereo 130 was a clear upgrade from the Onkyo and the Lintons definitely sound a tad better. Played with the direct switch a bit and I think I like it better activated.

And it just brings me joy looking at it. Such a beautiful piece of equipment.
 
Final dad audiophile stereo update. The last part of his gift was the Kind Of Blue Mofi SACD. It's one of his favorite albums. He's spinning it right now and just sent me this:

"Miles has arrived. The presence is so real I'm afraid I may have to score some blow just to keep him happy."

So, if you've ever looked at my posts and thought: "What the fuck is wrong with that guy? Where did he come from?"
There's your answer.
