Sir Accastil,
My current cdp is a K/H HD710 ('97 model); Teac AG-D9260 avr and B&W 601.
I want my audio to have a wide soundstage, rich midrange and sweet top-end.
Any recommendation sir?
If I may ask sir what is your existing audio set-up? Would appreciate also your journey to audio nirvana,
Tnx
bro, if the 97 hk cpd model sounds the same as the new ones, these are normally laidback. the teac is not familiar to me. the 601 is ok as i find it neutral though not very refined and smooth sounding as the better BS options.
if wider stage, richer mids, and sweeter highs would be your objective of changing anything, i dont think its going to be easy if you want to hit all of it in a single shot
. coming from a HK cdp, the azur and rotel cdp would definitely give u those but not to the extent you could have wanted....but then, you could start from there.
if you would ask me, there is more gain in having the teac upgraded into separates than changing the source at this point in time. this is mostly beneficial especially if you like to listen loud.
my personal preference for sound goes for someting very detailed, a bit forward, a bit bright, all-rounder, extremely clear, extremely quiet background.
the combination of all the things in my current system so far has given me every reqt i need..konting improvement pa for the "extremely quiet background" thing as i still hear small hiss during very loud volume levels. im not even sure if its possible to get rid of it.
