What is in your tray, today?

And name the CD/DVD/SACD player! Mine tonight is the Arcam Alpha One with Arcam Alpha BlackBox DAC.

All I notice are the two beautiful 5-10s, but you do realise that Port is red light, Starboard is green light - you need to swap them around

And your On/Off switch is upside down!

Yes, and no. If I am on the boat, my port light is red. If I am looking at a boat (coming towards me) the red light is on the right. Here I am looking at the boat, I am not on it! And yes, those pesky switch plates that spin around when you fasten them…

In my tray tonight - this great local CD!

 

[MusicMan]

Harry Connick Jr. - She. A great CD!

7 disks recently received loaded into the Nakamichi.

/\/\/\ great, enjoy! And a great CDP, too. I had one, and probably should not have sold it.

I really do like it. Got it at an amazing price from Craigis locally. Now I think I probably owe him lunch.

I like the "spin" on the OP.

 

[Cowboy]

I'm on the last disk right now. They were all a very pleasant surprise, especially the Gomez album. I have until now never heard of them. Unfortunately The The is having some issues playing as there is a massive scratch on the playing surface. Most disappointing!

 

[MusicMan]

I very often buy loads of cheap American import CDs by groups/artists I have never heard of before.
I must say it probably comes down 45/45 between ok and rubbish, but then there is the 10% that
are utter gems!

 

[JohnDoe]

JJ Cale & Eric Clapton
The Road to Escondido
Gallo Local SA print

 

[MusicMan]

That's a good one! And I love my own little Rotel CDP.

My eyes are once more diverted to places other than the Album you're playing, firstly to your wonderful amp (although we need to come up with something to fit those holes in the front) and then the Kenwood TK270-G radio with the KPG-56D programming cable...

Yes, a great little VHF radio, Eric! And the holes ... one day.
