Lets talk about what's Moving and Grooving you today! [2023-12]

I am not trying to convince you (that would be wrong), its already an inevitability, even though I wish that were not true for the sake of your wallet :grimacing: (just ask Jennifer)

(Vinyl is almost non existent in the Charity Shop arena :grin: )

I meant decent rock/pop vinyl. there is a lot of really bad vinyl there :grinning:

I moved on a little further here than planned, but such a good album I decided to forgive myself :grin:

Those awful human weaknesses such a sleep and obedience to a higher authority certainly get in the way.

It was surprisingly painless. It’s given me a chance to catch up with things from my library and CD / Vinyl collection. I do have a few lined up for early 2024 that i’m excited to hear :grinning:

I have been doing some rewiring. My CXCv2 is now connected to both my CXA81 (optical) and CXNv2 (coax).

CXCv2 β†’ CXNv2 β†’ CXA81 through XLR sounds the best :heart_eyes:

Jammed in between the Cambridge equipment are my Sony blu-ray player and my Roon Server (Mac mini).

We work (or worked) hard to be able to have nice things that most people turn their nose up at :thinking:
But fitting in with SWMBO guidelines is important and I am sure you will find something (maybe not a TT) that fits within the rules. Took me a long time and then I pretended to let the wife make the decision :rofl:

I had a friend who did this setup and with a blind test he always said that he could reliably pick you’re setup there as the best sounding option :+1:

The twin Wolfson DAC’s of the CXNv2 sound far more clearly and brighter compared to the CXA81’s single ESS Saber.

Well I was a good boy and I finally ripped this Blue-Ray over the break and that is about 8 versions between Plex and Roon.

Currently enjoying the 24/192 PCM stereo version.
