I bet nearly all of us here have been amazed one time or another by Decware's level of customer service.

Whether DeVon or Sarah, Steve or Bob, you get the best.

I've bothered Bob so much in fact. . . that I consider him a friend.

It's one of a long list of reasons we're return customers.

Great news! Hope Bob can get the ERRs to you soon enough.

This is a good thing.
Rest assured that the the big Torii whether a MK II or MK III will not dissapoint you.  
I'd love to be able to hear mine with the ERR's but right now I'm loving mine with the HDT's.

I can can also tell you you than the the ZCD sounds fabulous in front of the Torii.  

I briefly read the other thead regarding your decisions on gear to acquire with a 4K budget.   In order of preference, my experience would say #1 Torii...  #2 Speakers either HDT or ERR's....  #3 ZCD or a $1000+ DAC for a source.  As far as speakers go, with the HDT's you NEED a good source.  I'd still love to have a set of ERR's tho....

Don't worry about a CSP....  I don't think you'll need it it with this combo.  I'd be more inclined to upgrade from here with with a ZP3 phono stage and experience the true world of vinyl

Jason,

Thanks for your thoughts. The Torii Mk2 / ERR / new ZCD-200i (when available) combination will undoubtedly keep me happy for a long time.

Parker,

Good point. The amp is used, but, the speakers will need time to settle in. It will all be new to me, so a real eye-opener! I think that I will contact the seller of the amp to see how many hours it has on it...

It might be cheaper just to buy cd versions of the vinyl!

You'd be surprised. Let me know if I can help.  I spend hours a week looking for cds online.

Okay.

I buy lots of used cds and more often pay less than 10 dollars for a cd than pay 10 dollars or more.

I know where you're coming from.  I dabbled in a vinyl AND cd system and found that if I "maximize" a system for one, it is rather unsuited for the other. . . and so I just went with what I have more of, which is definitely cd, and centered my system around that. But maybe you'll have a much easier time of it. You're definitely doing some things very right the first time (Torii and ERR!) (I'm less a fan of the ZCD).

Well yeah.  I don't think of an iPod as a "main listening device."  I use mine in the bedroom occasionally and when traveling or taking walks. I have so many cds that I listen to instead in the main rig.

You could use one of these:

It could feed a DAC and you could use a transport for cds that feed the same dvd if you pick the one with the right inputs.  The ZCDi might be cheaper.

Lon/Jason,

My understanding is that the ZCD only plays one cd at a time. Therefore, for parties the ipod dock is a desire, so I don't need to tend to the music all night. The cd player will be the primary source, the ipod dock, as in Lon's case, will only get occasional use.

The other option as Jason points out is to make MP3 cds. . . which can play for about four or five hours!

I'm sure that the iPod will sound better going through the ZCDi but I really don't like sound of iPods even lossless except through the digital out (and the Wadia iTransport is so far the only machine can do that).  But that's just me.  And I have thousands of cds to play and even in the midst of gatherings I can easily get up or get someone to load another.  The quality sound is worth it.

Okay.  ZCDi has no appeal to me at all, but different strokes.

Time to record. . . if you're using iTunes or so, just drag tracks to a playlist and burn!

But anyway, I confess I'm definitely not "iPod" or "lossless file" generation and don't wan to be.

You too, I'm listening to a great new four cd set of Ella Fitzgerald live at the Crescendo Club in Hollywood, 1961 and 1962 and trying to play along with Herb Ellis and having fun.

Far out!  And so it begins!

Happy Holidays Richard!

I thought about you and glad you are enjoying yourself!
