Owned the Cyrus CD8SE Mk2...Excellent sounding player, but the reliability was shocking...Sent off to the technicians on 3 occasions in the 2yrs that i owned it...from new !

Hi, do you still have the VS55?

I have had the original since the late 90s, but the tonearm was bad and I didn't use it for 20 years. I decided recently to revive it. I bought a new old stock 9cc carbon fibre tonearm, project bearing grease, belt, 15v power supply, and because of your video, the AT 6006R. Just finished setting it up today with a SoundSmith Otello cartridge and it works, looks and sounds great. Thanks.

HI! HAVE YOU FIXED IT?

Hello, i have a digitech valve fx and i have a display problem, i can see the letters but the blue backlight is not working anymore

Tytyty

how about custom made wheels? ya know, something really useful

Nice speakers!! early '80s I'd say. Speakers on wheels - *wonderful*, now why they stopped doing that. Maybe manufacturers will get smart again (KEF)

Thanks for the video !! Keep them coming 😊

This looks promising. The half width reminds me of Cyrus. At this price level, it should offer I2S, though. Is the drive user replaceable? Good luck with your channel.

Dificult to clean the dust 😮😮

I notice the Headphone jack is recessed on this version . Is this normal for this version, as I have seen other 8000a with a Flush mount socket design

What a blast from the past.

The grill is not original ............the original was in one piece . I found a mint pair for a very fair price and enjoy these speakers a lot .......like Maria Callas singing in my room and wanting to give her kiss after she stopped singing ... This speaker was engineered to have a big sound in a typical small British living room .....and it works out well this way.........the model one is my preference compared to so called later upgrades..............;it plays music coherent and without any hugh end listening fatigue ...........the bass rolls off earlier than a bass reflex but being a sealed bass load it continues to go deepr than a BR........... The better the amp and source the more joy it rings to the soul of music. Do a good job restoring it ........beware of very expensive foil capacitors , they tend to break the musical balance of the speaker because they have different electric parameters , ESR and inductive as well as favouring too much detail out of balance with the music ..... This speaker was still build when engineers measured but also LISTENED to their baby... They are able to transfer you to a concert hall.........;in your own home.......not many actual ( even high definition ) speakers can do that .

The drive is made by Teac, and costs 80 bucks.

Is there a missing segment ~07:12 just when you were removing that unit out?

Hi, can you tell me where you inserted the trimmer and its value? A thousand thanks

Also wat too small. I would bet my life that my 40 lbs pioneer elite transport is so much better.

Very ugly all the way around. This is sad

Do you think I can use this amp without the fan on the back when I leave it open? Will it overheat?

In your opinion, how good is this preamp? I have the chace to get one for 280 dollars

I have the 6000n For the price, I think it's a good purchase I bypass it's internal DAC and use my external DAC I don't mind using the Play Fi interface as I only use it for Qobuz

Great job! Thank you very much for the great explanation. I would ask a suggestion regarding power amps. I'm thinking about an acquisition and I don't know what could be better between a Marshall 9100 and a Mesa fifty fifty. You have tried both of them. What would you suggest? I search something to pair with a tube preamp that can play good also at low volume. Thank you in advance and go on with these very nice videos ;-l

Can you program tracks?

Nice cd-Drive, how does it sound? 👌

Who's buying the players like this CYRUS?!? - Ugly design, the remote control looks very cheap, CD-loader as in the car's CD-player, display looks like the same one in a children's TOYS and, finally, after pressing the push-button you hear a disgusting sound of "click" - as if a fat flea was cruched.

Sorry, but Philips, Sony and teac-tascam did this better 40 years ago!

The Italians know how to make a chassis.

Reviewed it 27/02/24. Very revealing of classical and acoustic material, with great separation and detail on cello, piano and guitar. I played Lutoslawski, Webern and Chinese Classical. When playing hip-hop (Masta Ace), the sampled bass was muddy on 'I Got Ta'..This track loops a James Brown original, on what can't have been great equipment..the vocals are good with the track illuminated by the insistent looping which the turntable doesn't miss. On such varied material, the turntable did well..a thumbs up!

Beautiful beast

Hello, I would like to connect my MacBook to my AudioLab8300CD : macbook : 3,5 mm jack male AudioLab8300CD : do i need 1 or 2 rca male cables? Thnx for your help

Hi, Did you have to adjust the laser after fitting your new one?

Nice , thank you . If you compare this to my Quicksilver V4 , mine has no circuit board, just hand solded wires.

The classical B&O AM1, now supported by Ib Lundgaard, Electronic instruments A/S Struer DK, is used for testing output of amplifiers, power measurements as well as low level.

Det er ikke Band & Olufsen men "Bang og Olufsen"

Hey there My one doesn’t even come to boot screen. Have you managed to find out what was the problem?

Yeah, heat damage. That is always an issue. Another reason I am careful with tubes. Ceramic sockets slightly taken off the PCB board would have solved that issue.

Det bar dejli :-)

how can this be 1grand n half

The "extra magnet" is magnetic shielding for CRT's back when this sub was sold. I have a demo video on my channel. It's a very weak sub, by any standard. Suitable as a computer sub, that's about it.

It’s made by an amateur, it is not a serial unit.

There is nothing to know, it’s oooold technology, it can be a one of

You are being a bit kind in the assessment of this rat's nest.

Put it on a variable output isolation transformer and bring it up slowly while monitoring the plate voltage of the output tubes. Start with that. Check for excessive ripple on B+ lines.

I had one of these back in the late 90's that I paired with a Mesa Quad Preamp through a BBE 462 Sonic Maximizer. It to this day was the best sounding rig I've ever owned. I ended up letting go of it due to a ground loop problem I couldn't solve and traded them to a guy for 2 Marshall heads. One being a JCM800/2210 that I still own and love to this day. I do wish I had that rack unit back though. I keep toying with the idea of requiring both items but they have gotten astronomical in price. You never know though.

Excellent content. Looking forward to more clips on that project. I've just got my hands on the model, also from 1990, and the power pesistor you are pointing at in the video shows some damage (white powder coming out). If you were to replace it, what exactly would you choose?

Did you have to use new plastic plugs to reattach the circuit board? Mine seems to be for one time use only. How did you remove the ribbon cable? In my cd8x, which is slightly different, I could not get that cable off without fearing to break it.

Which tubes does it use?
