Sat, 5 Sep 2009 18:24:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author uptown_audio - The Cambridge Audio 740C CD Player is second in the line to the top of their model range. It has some nice features, rarely found on other units at any price. The sound is excellent and it is a sharp looking piece.One obvious benefit is the...

Sleeper. Get it NOW.

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:48:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linuxlund - This is a great used buy on ebay, $100 or less. The sound quality is VERY good, natural and unrestrained. I find myself listening to the music, not the player. Listening, in my mind I see my father's long-gone SONY audiophile $3000 LP player from 1970...

Great Cd Recorder

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:23:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author byronbaker1 - I recently got rid of my old Philips 820 cd recorder, to purchase something of more quality. Although my Philips did well with copying my albums, it just didn't work well all the time, and too many bugs and quirks. I read about the Tascam in a stereo...

Excellent Sound Quality

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 23:30:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dadeo7432 - I bought this unit about three months to replace a Philips unit I bought about 6 years ago (also reviewed here). This unit has only a single cd drive, it comes without the second cd player drive. The result is that it is harder to record from one cd to...

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:02:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Horswispr - My faithful Rotel 855 CD player finally died after more than ten years and it was time for a new CD player. I looked hard at the Cambridge Audio 640 Azur and the various NADs and finally decided to snap up an NAD C521BEE on eBay for about $200. The...

In a word: GARBAGE

Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:13:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richvergo - Just when you thought the days were numbered for the plain old compact disc format, the brilliant design of the Cambridge Audio Azur 840c makes the ordinary CD reign supreme once again. The basic concept is to upsample the Redbook CD from its...

Very Good CD Player, but...

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:36:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author photoman25 - I use this player at church and it is a really good CD player. (I'm a music minister) I bought it at Sound Productions in Dallas - a great place to buy gear. The controls are easy to use and the display is easy to read. The sound is neutral - just what...

CDR 775 wasn't reliable for me

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 21:44:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eggsngrits - Over the first year of use, fewer and fewer blank discs would work until the recorder didn't work at all. Sent it away to the repair center; they installed a new record/play drive. Now, another year later, the same thing has happened!! Not...

Is the CD Obsolete as a Dinosaur? With Sony's 300 Disc Player, it Ain't!

Outstanding in every way (almost).

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:06:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author edmaidel - The Marantz SA-8001 SACD player was designed to provide top-notch performance from SACD's in a 2-channel format, so as to appeal to the audiophile (like myself) who has no interest in the multi-channel capability of SACD's. This is not meant as a...

Yamaha excels again

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 07:46:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nickscarano - I am not or ever will be a fan of the ipod, i cannot stomach the sound of MP3 songs: the tell tale garbage can lid cymbal sound, cat scratch vocal yelping and lack of any real bass makes me cringe, my nervous system attacked with bolts of electricity,...

Buy any recorder but this one

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 02:29:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dalprad - I first tried to pick up a used one of these and it did not work so I figured it was just a bad buy. Then I bought one new and had to return it for another new one. They all have the same problems. You will record a whole CD and then it will not...

Superb CD Player

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:59:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowbrace - This is by far the best sounding CD player I have ever heard in analog two channel stereo. It makes any CD sound better. The clarity and channel separation are as good as CD players costing thousands of dollars. Marantz really hit a home run with this...

A hidden gem

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:41:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lucidfer - The model I have the the DCD-1550AR. The 'AR' bit stands for Alpha Reference. Tech-heads reading this will appreciate the benefits of the 20-bit D to A converter coupled with their Lambda Super Linear Converter which Denon claims...

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 20:29:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author djdude - I am a mobile DJ/Karaoke and I rely on quality equipment to get me through the shows. There aren't many rack mount karaoke players so I bought the Vocopro CDG-4000 being unsure of the Vocopro brand and the level of quality to expect. I like the unit...

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Thu, 4 Oct 2007 17:37:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author matyglenn - This thing worthless. I've ruined lots of CD's on this machine. It records a few songs, then gives me an error message that's not even listed in the troubleshooting section of the manual. Right now, it won't even power up. The reset button is...

Very Dissapointing

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:58:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jazbo88 - Broke after 2 years of light service. Denon would not repair. Problem: Loads CD's now but disc just spins without being able to play a track. Useless! Expect more from a $349.00. player. Shame on...

Fine until it needs service

Thu, 6 Sep 2007 19:30:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author trannyman - My 1500 was as good as described in the other reviews. Then the logic and controls went bad. I can live with this after having it for 2 years, but then the real problem. Denon doesn't have a single authorized service center in San Diego, Ca. Not one...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author listenup1010 - I bought a CDG-9000 thinking it was professional gear. I used it twice and it wont read discs on one deck. Rang customer care and still waiting weeks for a reply. Never again I tell you. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE, I promise you will be...

A good manufacturer goes bad

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:11:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pauljoynes - We purchased this player because we have been exceptionally happy with the Harman/Kardon receiver that we own. When we were shopping around, I was surprised that it was very difficult to find a true CD changer anymore, most places were trying to sell...

philips cdr880

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 04:42:16 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author chico001 - Very easy to make high quality cdr recordings. The only BIG mistake philips made : this deck works ONLY with cdr AUDIO cdr's 74 minutes. The deck doesn't accept 80 minutes cdr AUDIO cdr's (which are the standard now). You can't find any new cdr's...

Very reliable disc changer

Tue, 22 May 2007 20:10:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedo1507r - I have had the CDP-CX53 since early 1999 and have used it twice a week. The big selling point for me, at the time, was the digital optical output (I was an active user of MiniDiscs at the time, but found other uses for the nice output), as well as the...
