Oppo 95 worth the up grade from Oppo 83 SE?
ahendler, did you ever post your results?

Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
Audiofreak32, I'll give you $500 for your old DAC, $100 for a month's supply of weed, and $150 for 30 minutes with your avatar model. Deal?How fondly I remember my first time listening to Led Zep One high. A dude on a Harley pulled into the gas st... 
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)
What about connecting an external DAC to the Oppo DV-980-H? Does anyone have any experience with that? Are there any good ones with RCA analog out for around $400 that handle DSD? My local dealer suggested an "inexpensive" Ayre. Only $2,500!!! 
Which cartridge should I upgrade to now?

The ever lasting diamond stylus...is it a myth or??
I can't tell if a diamond is worn using a 20X loupe. I was thinking of getting a 5 MP, 20-300X digital scope; but a totally gonzo cartridge/stylus photographer and re-builder on another forum posted that you need a combination of microscope and ca... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I stumbled on this huge thread today while searching for a good candidate for my next cartridge. I am humbled by the expertise and knowledge of the group! I tried to plow through as many of the old posts as I could, but that is a daunting task.My ...
