sir how much kuha nyo? sa little chatty's? thanks 

[rascal101]

3K sa Little Chatty's. Just acquired (today) a Sony CDP-301V which has the much sought after Philips TDA1541 - not at Little Chatty's though.

[dBinu]

sir rascal, anu anu pa yung mga magandang cdp meron sa  little chatty? thanks

[rascal101]

Wala na maganda CDP sa Little Chatty's. Doon sa FJMR at doon sa dulo. Meron Victor XL-Z701 CDP. Sa alam ko Burr Brown PCM56 yun DAC niya. Maganda daw tumunog.

Eto listahan ng mga CDP at DAC na puwede mong gamitin basehan sa pagbili.

thanks sir rascal 

[rascal101]

Meron din nga palang Sony CDP-950 (1 pc) at Sony CDP-750 (4 pcs) sa FJMR. Lahat sila Philips TDA-1541 ang DAC. May konting problema iyung CDP-950 - iyung tray open/close belt niya ay palitin. Sabihin niyo na lang sa technician na ipagpalit iyung belt noong isang CDP-750 sa kanya kung gusto niyo kunin.

Since mas lower end mga CDP na ito kaysa mga Sony ES series, mas maganda kung magandang op-amp at output coupling caps ang ipalit niyo. Iyung rectifier diode din puwedeng palitan ng ultra fast diode. Ganoon ginawa ko doon sa Sony CDP-301V na nakuha ko.

Nga pala meron din sa dulo Sony CDP-970. Parehas din DAC niya sa CDP-228ES.

Sir,

What store would you recommend in pier since am looking for a cd player, any number, pampanga pa kasi me, thanks.

am looking for a gold cd player to complement my avr, what brand/model would you recommend, tnx again

[simonzaide]

sir lakambini usualy lilttle chatty's have a good range of cd players kaso la pa sila bagong dating as of last week

will be dropping by again this weekend will let you know

[rascal101]

I would love to have the Sony 7series or those heavy CDPs > 10kg. These are most likely the totl.

It is difficult to predict what CDP will come out in the Pier or which store where it will appear. The best thing to do is to memorize CPD model numbers so that when you are at the Pier you will be able to spot a good one immediately and buy it. If you don't see however those nice CDPs you can settle for those mid range (these are much more plentiful). When you have memorized a fair number of these it should be easy to spot those who use the good DACs eg I have stated earlier that the Sony CDP-750 or 950 also uses the Philips TDA1541. So what you can do is buy one of these and have someone modify the internals for you so you can get same performance as those totl.

BTW, another relatively good CDP is the Sony CDP-970. It uses 2pcs PCM58P DAC which is same as the 228ESD. The board is more or less similar to the 228ES so a good mod will make it sound same as 228ESD or better.

I have spotted these CDPs not at Little Chatty's but at FJMR and at the store on the far end (doon po sa "dulo").

[rascal101]

I think that having a back up plan same as above is essential because there are lots of days where there is no totl CDPs.

[lakambini]

mga sirs,

I have been surfing the thevintageknob.org site and am surprised to see that the cdps of yesteryears are of superb and excellent built, comparable sa mga current avrs ang bigat.

am keen on acquiring a sony es series, pa-estimate naman mga sirs kung magkano ito.

thanks

btw, pag nasira ba surplus cdps sir madali bang mahanapan ng parts, like lens, rubber....

thanks again 

[simonzaide]

sony es series are sold from 2.5k above depending sa tindahan

if masira usually the shops have techs naman who can help you fix it dont expect warranty though

[silent_loud21]

Anu po bang mas-maganda sa tatlong ito. Newbie lang po
(Kindly rank according to its performance).

sony cdp333esd
sony cdpx333es

[rascal101]

In my biased opinion,

1. X333ES
2. 333ESD
3. 228ESD

 

[pinoyhd]

In my biased opinion,

1. X333ES
2. 333ESD
3. 228ESD

thanks.

This CD player uses the Burr Brown PCM53 DAC and uses 2x oversampling.

The optical pick-up system is the same as the Yamaha CD-X1.

"The optical pickup of the signal tracks of the disk at an angle to put a three spot beam method uses three individual spots.  In this scheme, the end to check the exact difference in the two individual tracks, servo control LSI has been achieved, coupled with a stable trace."

This is the optical pick-up system implementation.

This CD player also uses the Burr Brown PCM53 DAC and uses 2x oversampling.

The Yamaha CD-3 and Lo-D DAD-800 sound very similar. The soundstage is wide and the imaging is very good.

[lakambini]

sir rascal101,

where did you buy the unit and how much?  what other models are available?

thanks

[simonzaide]

just a question though

most of the vintage cd player are 100 volts right ? would there be any issue if we have them converted to 220 ? any of you guys have tried this ?

[rascal101]

Bought the units in the Pier.

How much? Sent you PM.

There are many other units there based on Burr Brown PCM54, PCM56, PCM58 and Sony CXD2552 (1bit) DAC. I no longer memorize the model numbers except for those that I want to buy. I am using a list similar to below when I go there so I don't miss anything. I bring my list along and look at it while checking out the CDP on display.

Yes. No issue converting them to 220V. No, I haven't tried converting any 100V equipment to 220V though.

[rascal101]

Since I started using my DAC list, there isn't one instance where I didn't want to buy anything as many totl CDP also use the same DAC as the lower end CDP. Just research on which DAC or DACs are suitable for you then visit the Pier. Don't pay too much attention on the weight and looks. They are not necessarily an indication of how good a CDP is.

i had a surplus denon cdp converted to 220, still sounds ok to me. they just put another transformer inside the cd players body and left the old one inside. i guess they did it that way so if you want to change it back, no problem.

[eyeswideshut]

I just bought a victor xl z521 at 1700 pesos here in san pablo city and a pair of canton quinto 540 speakers at 2000 pesos. I am just using an LG L2340 as my amplifier( this is a dvd karaoke integrated system.I hope you can imagine . the centerpiece of common abenson component system). Grabe ang laki ng improvement ng quality ng tunog nakakaadik. I am surprise that not only original cd sounds good even burn audio cd from mp3 files sounds very good. I never heard kenny rogers sings that low and the boyfriends rocks pala haha. Andrew e sounds so solid and radioactivesago is suave.sorry guys just new in hi-fi.

[rascal101]

Enjoy your Victor XL-Z521  CDP
