Or did you, actually? Those CD player photos were lifted from Stereophile. Let's see a photo of it in your living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of this hobby ia what we hear and how much what our brains tell us to hear is an interesting subject - expecially in the light of the flame wars going on around us. And I will offer $150 for the $39 chinese CD player. Of course I understand it is not a real Chinese CD player. One of those that they actually get manufactuered in another country (obviously for the cost saving). I cant tell you how often I talk to Chinese people concerned about goods being made cheaper in the US and consequent job losses locally...

nicholtl Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Damn Allan, that's a fine setup you own. I'll offer $200 for that $39 CD player. And I'll pay shipping too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Now build a 39 dollar tube amplifier....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Mike, $39 is probably doable for a digital amp. Tubes might be a bit more tricky, but I have seen tube monoblocks for $99 a few years back...cant remember the name of the company now though... I guess my memory isnt what it....er...where was I?

Tomski Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hey guys, It seems after reading all the responses that both sides make valid points. I believe that just like any other source in audio there will not be 100% agreement on any one source. It allways is subjective to each individuals tastes or preferences I know I have a bias towards my own gear/source and when someone doesnt like my gear/source,My first reaction is to think "How the heck can they think that" The only rule that ever seems to apply to ALL of us is that if you are happy with YOUR sound then that IS all that really matters.

I know you have CRAP and are far too ashamed to post a pic!! ---------------- Okay here goes. But for accuracy's sake, it is not a CRAP model but an AIWA. And it was well over $39 last year, I think maybe $59. Still when I figured it doesn't just play CDs, but is a clock and alarm too, and a radio (both FM and AM), with built-in stereo speakers, I figured I could splurge. This one is solid-state, by the way. Am wondering if perhaps I should put it on rollerblocks or vibrapods? I'm not sure if, when the mixer's mixing and the microwave is microwaving and the ice cube maker is making ice cubes, all that activity isn't taxing the error correction?

Allan Songer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Nice! I do 95% of my Compact Disc listening on a player just like this one! I have rubber isolation devices with pneumatic dampers at all four corners of the 4000 lb. steel cabinet that it's housed in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hey Paul, That is a crap Aiwa - my Aiwa holds 5 disks at a time - obviously a FAR superior model! In fact it is a separates system - amp, tuner, CD player and dual tape deck all in separate high quality plastic fantastic boxes that are the envy of the little light bulbs in coffin system I run in the other room. I cant find a picture of it on line - I think they stopped making it about 20 mintues after it came out - I wonder why? Allan, I got a similar one too - but the surrounding box is smaller.
