Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
Hopefully some more Oppo 95 owners can chime in.  I know the Nad C565BEE is superior, but it's no longer made and went for $800 back in 2011. They pop up used now and then.  I'm not sure if the current Nad C546BEE is just a stripped down version o... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
Oops, I got the model number of my Nad wrong, it's the C565BEE, and the current model I was referring to is the C546BEE.Beernut, I had the ERC-1 and sold it after becoming dissatisfied with it.  It would freeze up every now and then and I had to p... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
Okay, you can put me solidly in the separates category.  As mentioned above, my Nad C365BEE came and I immediately dropped everything and spooled up some cds.  Wow, Nad makes some nice sounding gear.  It's got more of a 3D soundstage than the Oppo... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
Like the OP, I had an Oppo 95 and just sold it after about 5 years.  It's a swiss army knife of a player, very flexible and can play just about anything off a thumb drive.  It sounds really good too with redbook cds.  Personally though, I got tire... 
best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?
Gee, I take it back. It seems that the OP has started two threads, one in which he says he’s looking for bookshelf speakers, and the other in which he says he’s looking for floorstanders.He also says in this thread post one, that he definitely doe... 
best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?
If the thread starter wants a better bookshelf speaker with more bass, look no further than the Sierra-1.  The cabinet is on par with the Signature series from Paradigm, it's that good.  It's not curvy as the Sigs are, but for pure performance, it... 
Oppo BD-103, Youtube feature no longer works
Whew!  Crisis averted.  LOL 
Need small size speakers for fireplace.
Unfortunately, squeezing speakers into a small compartment like that is about the worst thing you can do to them.  The Tannoy Revolution XT Minis would fit in there, but I'm not sure what it would sound like.  Tannoy makes a pretty nice sounding a... 
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
So I tried the Nad C326BEE driving the Paradigm sigs S6, just to see what they could do with the big floorstanders.  The sound left me the impression that there wasn't enough grunt, although I didn't try to really crank it.  The highs seemed a lit... 
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
I've been looking at new speaker cables, as the Audioquest type 4 are laid back somewhat.  Nothing wrong with that, but the Paradigm Sigs are also a little laid back.  Gee, now that I think of it, the Parasound Halo stuff may be on the warm side t... 
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
That's funny, I've got the Halo A21 with a P7 for pre amp, running Paradigm Sigs, S6.  I've been wondering about the C375, how close it is to the Halo stuff.  The Sigs drop down to 2.8 ohms at one point, but I don't ever blast it, never above 90 d... 
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
topten, that's quite interesting!  What speakers are you driving with the NAD that outshined the Parasound?  I find the 326 to be very dynamic!Rotarius, l've done a lot of researching reviews and owner complaints of NAD.  I really don't see eviden... 
9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?
Nice!  You really can't go wrong with the JC1's. 
9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?
I’ve purchased factory refreshed, it can be returned product because the customer didn’t like them or brand new in box overstock, or returned for defects. It depends on the retailer, what their policy is. I’d phone them directly and ask.I’ve owned... 
Bulk TV purchase for PA Nursing Home
I've got a Samsung 24' LED, a good quality picture that I got at Costco for under 150, I believe.
