Oppo 95: Low Output via Stereo RCAs
Yes, I connected only the stereo not the surround outs. And only my preamp not the power amp has attenuators, which, with the JVC player I almost never had to turn any higher or lower. Regarding DRC I don't recall it making much of a difference ei... 
Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
Oppo Repair Service NYC/Long Island? When it became clear that decoder boards were unavailable to repair my Cambridge 650BD player I purchased a used Oppo 95. The ad said it works fine and should arrive next week. I got the 95 because I presentl... 
Editing Posts: Poor Functionality: inaccessible website support
Thanks guys. I presumed that the option for "support ticket" was only for buyers and sellers. In any case, now that Tammy and the webmasters are informed the editing issues will likely receive attention. As it happens I now have some buyer questio...

Multi DACs like Exasound E38 that Support DTS-HD MA?
There aren’t any conventional “DACs” that support DTS-MA.  This is a Blu-ray specific audio format that is limited to HDMI as a transport mechanism du to licensing and encryption restrictions.  You want to look for an HT Processor. Understood, ... 
Pioneer BDP-95FD and BDP-05FD Zoom Control?
HDMI to Analog Video Scaler Would one of these scalers solve all my BD player to analog TV connectivity problems? https://www.markertek.com/category/video-scalers Would this Gefen model give as good or better D/A video conversion quality th... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
 Eric,  Would there be any advantage to daisy chaining a pair of sealed Rythmik F12 subs with a pair of the dual 12 Rythmik OB subs?  However, my room is only 14 ft x 19 and a 7.5' ceiling. This sub is made specifically for music r... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
ct0517 Sadly, not yet. We were on for a Friday early last month until Jim got pneumonia. He said he was still very sick almost two weeks later. I’ll email him this week, see how he’s feeling and maybe we can set up for something this month, I hope... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
 I've run ESL57's both single, stacked and with sequerra ribbons   Dover, what are the Sequerra ribbons? Did you get these tweeters from here? http://www.sequerra.com/common/data/ribbon.html http://www.sequerra.com/  Are they still available?... 
Might I Hear Your Soundlab ESLs?
Indeed, what an incredibly rare and auspicious opportunity! Though the best SoundLab model that I could afford would be the M3PX, this session would be my very first and probably best sounding ESL experience ever. Thank you. 
Might I Hear Your Soundlab ESLs?
Yes, I've tried calling the Forest Hills sales office. There was only a recording and no answering machine to take messages. And the SoundLab distributor webpage didn't list any email contact address. 
Might I Hear Your Soundlab ESLs?
Of all the dumb luck. Our live-in aide who tends to my Dad just left today to visit her Mom in Maryland. I probably could have caught a ride. But it’s still a big trip for me by car. Thanks for the offer.  
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
They thing they don't tell you is what happens when driving higher impedances, like you see in the Quad ESL 57.    Thanks Dover for pointing this out. I will have the 57s up on stands and adjusted accordingly-and at least close to this height, ... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
 Yes, the Quad 57’s impedance curve clearly plays havoc with a lot of amplifiers, but I don’t understand the reasoning behind some of explanations for this. And at least one very basic factor about the amplifier/speaker interface is missing from t... 
Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
 Hello all and thanks for this great discussion on DSAs. Not only is it an effective approach to getting problem free and natural sounding low bass reproduction in small and/or less than ideal listening rooms, but it does so without DSP. Even at l...
