Onkyo Integra CD DXC-606 6 Disk High End CD Player second to top of the line for the 90's players.............
I recently was going to buy a Onkyo Integra 6 Disk CD DXC-606 player for $85 and had to cancel the order as I made a mistake with my monthly income that could be spent.
The guy not only refunded the full amount but sent the player to me for free at a $36 shipping fee that paid for. Now my intention was to send him the shipping and a $40 fee if the player worked properly. Well when it arrived I could not believe how large and heavy the player was.
At 20LBs and 18" in depth it just barely fit on it's own separate shelf. I had a bit of trouble with it at first but this was do to the shipping practices of UPS.
I eventually was able to get it working perfectly and it looks like a new player with a working remote.
Talk about a nice guy that gave me a player and then told me to pay it forward and don't worry about the shipping fee being repaid to him.
Now this is a great guy to send me the player based on the simple fact that I did want it and really like the build quality. But he wanted it to go to someone that would actually use it and thus he sent it to me.
This 6 Disk player is not your standard 6 Disk changer CD player. This is a beast and a tank! At 20 LBs it weighs as much as one of my front Definitive 450's. Phil shipped this player to me and even paid the shipping fee for free.
This sorry needed to be told so others will hopefully do the same thing and pass it forward...................................
It sounds silly but before this happened to me I just gave away a old receiver and small pair of speakers and bought a LG BD/CD player for $20 for a girl that's a friend but really enjoys music.
So I spent $20 on this little system for her and then took the time to set it up for her. So right after I did this I suddenly have someone (Phil) just send me the last piece of my separate stereo component system all at his personal cost. That's one really nice guy that went above and beyond for me and the Pay it forward just happened to mw now.
If you can find one of these Onkyo DXC-606 CD players buy it as these are worth $200 easily with a working remote. The specs on this 6 disk are better than the specs on any new 6 disk player selling today.
The specs on this Integra player are slightly better than my single disk Onkyo C-7030 t which has a added tube buffer stage.
Outstanding performance and wow what a deal and what a tank of a player with specs that beat out modern day 6 Disk players from both Onkyo and Yamaha.
So once again thanks Phillip for your great philosophy on life and the "PAY IT FORWARD" attitude that jut seems to keep spreading at least over the last few months.
Fantastic Sounding CD player that will play CD-Rs just fine and looks brand new as well as having a working remote.
I mean the sound this player produces is just outstanding as it's S.T.N.R. is 108 DB and it's overall Dynamic range is about 100 DB. For a CD player from 1992 this one has incredible specs and sound output. It also has a very good built in headphone amp so it can be used alone with a pair of headphones and your ready to hear some great music.
Now my 2.2 analog only separate component system is complete nay a better turntable down the road but every other component is not only great sounding but great looking as well.
I simply could not beat the cost at FREE. But even at it's $90 cost including shipping it would have been a steal of a deal. So if you see a Onkyo Integra CD player be quick and buy it as they are some of the best sounding CD players you can get at such a low price point.
Thanks again Phil your the best my friend :) :) PAY It FORWARD EVRYONE............................

For the price it's good enough but you will need to recalibrate it.
This is a simple digital scale that I used for my Denon DL-103 MC cartridge on a Technics SL-Q2 table.
This works well after you recalibrate it! You will be forced to recalibrate this scale for it to work properly.
No need to spend $25 or more for a digital scale unless you plan on using it all the time for more than simply setting up a cartridge on a turntable.

Better than I expected it's one of M.D. best Jazz records in mono!
Great blue colored 180 gram weight vinyl of one of Miles Davis best Jazz recordings of all time.
Sounds fantastic on vinyl!
