| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) "No, I do not have any headphones. But that is a good idea to try! Thanks." For $250 the NAD Viso HP50 are pretty damn good. I think they are essentially the same as the PSB M4U 1, but more comfortable. Both designed by Paul Barton. Once you try ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) wcc10, I'm surprised the discussion seems to focus on the sources and pre. Maybe the B&Ws are nor a good match for the rest of your components and/or room. Do you have a good set of headphones? If they solve your problem it is not the source c... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Leotis: " For the price you will never find a better rig than the 103 IMHO. But the rest of the links in the chain are crucial."Do you think the 103 sounds better than the 95 and 85SE; or is it just the value? Is there any difference in DSD to PC... | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. Please pretend you never read my previous post. (most of you won't have to pretend)I, too am outraged and saddened that no one is buying this perfectly wonderful gear. It is age discrimination, just as plain as the nose on my face, and it sickens ... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Sevs (and everyone)I just got another SACD (Marshall Crenshaw, ) and a DVD-A (Freddie King) yesterday. $19 each. Also ordered a SACD/DVD combo set of Ricki Lee Jones SERMON ON EXPOSITION BLVD from Amazon for $15! Didn't even know it existed. Keep ... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Has anyone had a chance to compare the Marantz SA 8005 and the UD 7007 for audio quality? Intuitively, you'd expect the 8005 to win as none of the cost is 'wasted' on blu-ray or DVD; but the 7007 seems to have better S/N and dynamic range specs. | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP "Sorry, I talk too much about SACD players but there is a Lot of excellent SACDs in classical music these days, and the prices are lower than hi-def downloads"So, Sevs, what are you using to play SACDs? I thought the Naims were redbook only? | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) The $700+ price difference is more compelling in my present situation. :(I appreciate all the support. | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik I have the Basik with an LVX. I use a Shure V15 RS with a JICO MR stylus. I also have an Alexandria like the OP. My Alex does not bow to the Basik. It's been some time since I had them side-by-side, though. At that time the Alex had an Oracle stra... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) The 980 plays HDCD and DVD-A, so I'll hang onto it for the few discs I have. It also plays anything I've loaded on a USB. I will probably experiment with running it through the Marantz. (Hey! I can do that with the NAD now! I think I have a TOS ca... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Thanks for the help x2, Aux.I'll save for the Marantz and stop (or at least try to control my compulsions) researching and be at peace.Jim | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Thanks, Auxinput. I know the transport of the 980 is it's weakest link, hence the urge to upgrade.The Marantz SA 8003 got away. It went for $600. Oppo 95s are going for $800. Clearly the Marantz was a better deal. There a few older models for abou... | |
| Oppo 95 worth the up grade from Oppo 83 SE? ahendler, did you ever post your results? | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Have you checked the grounding of you wall outlets with an outlet tester? |
