I just remembered why it is so big. The transport in completely separate from the electronics.

Are you gonna ship that bad boy around for peeps to try out?

 

[stuwee]

What did you pay for it?

And where's the pics of the other units making the rounds?


What's a DTI? DDE? I've read this whole thread twice and I don't understand those two, I know what a DAC is.

DDE is Digital Decoding Engine a fancy name for a DAC. DTI is Digital Transmission Interface a fancy name for an anti-jitter device.

What did who pay for what? So far in the AA deal I have over 1000.00 outlay. So far those 2 pieces have cost me over 500.00 each. LOL Waiting on some Onix CDPs. I don't have pics of them. If I did they are on a dead computer.

[stuwee]

Larry, I meant, what did you pay for that big AA Cdp?

So you paid $1,000 for the DDE/DTI? and that combo needs a tranport to play music? This AA stuff is very confusing>

 

[speakerman1]

I payed 200.00 for the transport. No everything I have gotten from Mark has cost me 1000.00 so far. LOL

I detect some shill bidding on that broken one.. see that?

 

[speakerman1]

Yes I saw it. I'm still highest bidder. No feed back and the only place they have bid is there. So I thought the same thing when it happened.

Larry

That really bites!
If you win, I'd give the seller some serious shit about that, and report him (not that it does any good) it's fun to vent to ebay, cuss'm real good

This sucks. Was playing CDs this morning. Left and came back and now it says no disc. It doesn't recognize any disc.

Any ideas?

Open her up and see if the mechanism moves to read the disc, if so, does it retreat back after a sec?

Clean the lens with windex on a q-tip

Worse case, the laser is shot that's not a good thing. Unless Mark has a spare.....

 

[Web Police]

Bummer Larry. Hopefully you can do as Stuwee instructed and get her working again.

I found a transport from MCM. So that isn't a big deal. It is a Sony. May just order it to make sure I have one.

[speakerman1]

I found a direct replacement on ebay for 18.00. It even quit spinning now. So when it gets here I will swap out the whole mechanism. I hope it just bolts in and I don't have to adjust. Has anyone ever changed a transport? The spindle motor isn't running. So I have to find the part number.

Larry, PM MacGuyver over at ST, he's swapped out lot's of transports and lasers.

Good luck!

Who do I ship the AA Stuff too? I have a tube DAC on the way and an looking at a Tube CD player and a new set of tubes for the tube amp, so I won't need these units anymore.

 

[speakerman1]

Send them back to Jerry. What tube gear did you get?

Well for now, I just bought a Chinese tube Dac/preamp off ebay. It is a clone of the one GF is selling for 2/3rds of their price. I haven't bought a CD player yet still doing some research into them. As far as tubes I will probably get a quad set of Mullard reissues for about $75 or so.

Little secret GF is the clone. Where do you think theirs come from. Never mention me if you ever talk to them. We don't see eye to eye on business practices. Really we can't stand each other.
