Hi all,
I just purchased a pair of Jamo C809 which are driven through Vincent SP331, which is a great amp. The preamp I use is a Rotel RC 1082. I use Atlas Equator Interconnects and Van den Hul CS122 speaker cable. I also took a chance with the Beresford Caiman as the source. I find that the Caiman is a good DAC for the price. It sounds good with mellow Indian and western music. But it is not up to the mark for Rock music or anything that demands pace and attack. I am looking for a CD player that is more live and punchy, something that may go along with my current setup. The speakers and amp are laid back, so a live CD player may negate these characteristics. I am not sure if changing the speaker cable will change the attributes of the sound, it may enhance it.
I have looked at Rega Apollo, Marantz CD6003 and Naim CD5i. i also heard about Ayon. Ability to play MP3 would be an added bonus. I appreciate any feedback.
