Proper speakers those, congratulations.
Still better than the majority of modern speakers all these years on.

Agreed! I belive the speakers were developed for Japan's state broadcaster.Quote:

Nice. I have never heard these in a domestic setting.
There was a bloke had some at the last Wigwam show, with Sony pre-power. Really good - and I don't say that lightly.Quote:

I chose the Denon based on a lot of positive reviews and the fact that it had an onboard dac as well as a switchable phono stage. I've not really used the phono stage as I have the Tron but its nice to know its there. My Node 2i is fed into the onboard Dac and sounds better for it.
Overall id say the Denon seems to be a bit leaner sounding than the Jungson but I am in no way unhappy with what I'm hearing.
The Yamahas I picked up a few months ago were dropped off with a local audio engineer who gave them a good going over and replaced some of the out of spec cross over components (the 47µf 250 VAC and 2.7 µf 250 VAC replaced with new Monacor MKP Polypropylene caps), cleaned up the attenuators and fitted some new binding posts for me. I also managed to find a nice set of 300mm high Atacama stands for them on ebay which means they sit at the right height for me.
I didn't expect to ever buy another CD player but recently I became aware of the Technics SL DZ 1200 and fell in love with its looks. Weirdly enough not long after one popped up on ebay UK and so for a very reasonable amount its now mine. It was technics entry into the club DJ market in about 2004 but due to some initial software issues it failed miserably and soon the market moved on with Denon and Pioneer decks becoming the benchmark.
Il never use the multitude of DJ functions it has but I love the 10inch revolving platter that echoes the look & feel of my 1200 turntable, as a conversation piece its cool and sounds pretty good too.

When set into DJ mode the top platter spins and can be used like a conventional turntable for "scratching" lol. Theres lots of delay, echo and filter buttons that can be used (if you have any idea what you are doing - which I don't).
