Yep ROKSAN, and you could be right about the rodman description having spent some time reading here.

thanks dq, have read much here about dacs, still none the wiser! always gone for minimum box count, maybe not the best way? trouble is were do you start with dacs, I know I asked but I know nor understand very little about them!

never owned any arcam stuff apart from my arcam2s (always been happy with them) do you think cd72 would work with my rega mira? I suppose at that kind of money there would/could be lots to gain and little to loose. will have a look, thanks.

Currently using Rodman kd1 CD player, but since getting ssc ,lls1 and cubetts finding it a bit thin sounding? Would a separate dac improve it or should I just look for another player? Don't stream and will only buy s/h às budget is limited , around £150. Any thoughts?

Vanilla fudge. The windmills of your mind, unbelievable! After all these years still blows me away.

Fill your head with rock, cbs compilation vinyl.

Thanks latteman for the heads up on Facebook turntable site.

Update on kd 550. Found a headshell and at95 in odds and ends box, so set them up and put on lp but no output on right channel, swopped leads over still the same, looks like it needs a bit more work Good thing is deck spins well and all the controls seem to work!

Just got home with a kenwood kd550, came via a friend of a friend who has owned it from new, been in storage for 10/15 years but it spins, lights up strobe and seems to be rotating at the right speeds. Currently has no headshell or cartridge so not able to play anything on it. So the question is, ha...
