| Tube vs. Solid State Rectifier Agree precisely with Tvad. I prefer having tubes in both places but there are products using both of these technologies that I love. In the end it's about how that product delivers the music in your system. If ask to rate "the best" power amps my ... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? So are companies like ARC, Conrad-Johnson, and others doomed for extinction as production eventually shuts down and existing stocks are depleted? Is the market for tube equipment because of lack of tubes going to disappear? No, but the designs of ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE Cmalak, I read that at Oppo site before posting, but IMO only another audiophile can tell us what the mods mean in terms of improved music performance.I'm not impressed with Oppo sound as I already mentioned in an earlier post on this thread. My P... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE My take on it is that they launched the SE version on November 9 so, from that point on, you have the option to buy the SE version outright at $899 (it would make no sense for them to allow people to buy the base BDP-83 from Nov 9 onwards and then... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE A wild card perhaps, but I wonder if the reason the mod is available only to customers that purchased before November 9th might be due to the fact Oppo implemented the upgrade in the regular series without any hoopla and added the badge after prod... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-10-09: BlindjimAlbertporterAlbert, what about it's SD DVD action? SACD? DVDA?Jim, according to Oppo website the stereo section is upgraded as well, I assume that means CD and SACD sound are also improved by the mod. As for DVD, it does an excel... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE I have the BDP 83. If anyone has a comparison of it and the new unit I would like to read about your experience.I find the BDP-83 to be an excellent Blue Ray machine but CD playback (audio) performance is adequate at best. | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass Madfloyd, you system thread lists TW Acustic Raven One as your turntable. If that's the table playing and your woofers are pumping it's not due to rumble. The Raven is a quiet turntable with very low rumble but it could be susceptible to mechanica... | |
| What effect will removing a whizzer cone have? 10-26-09: ElizabethI have seen some paper (AES) that had shown the 'wizzer' is useless and does not actually do anything.I would have to agree the wizzer is an archaic BS device, and cutting it off would be a blessing.Elizabeth (Threads | Answers)... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? I've compared every Tape Project tape to the best Lp pressing of that same performance on my Rockport tt. the Tape Project tapes pretty much smoke any Lp. A tape made from those LPs even on my Rockport would not be quite as good as the LP, let alo... | |
| Tweaks Marco, I'm sold !Only one question, if I have two stereo systems and receive the CanineCall™ does it transform both at the same time? Even more important, do I have to pay twice? | |
| Tweaks OzzyAlbertporter, perhaps Jax2 could have his dog sit in the center of the room for better imaging. Enough said about this on my part.I wish you had not posted that at Audiogon, Marco was planning on introducing the dog-here, dog-gone tweak at CES... | |
| Tweaks Jax2 (Marco), I know the reason you're so opposed to the Clever Little Clock and I'm gonna let the whole Audiogon community know the truth.You bought one last September and after some testing you decided to go for the refund. Before you could box ... | |
| Does anyone like country The country I like is the old stuff, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Eddy ArnoldI'm still moved by Patsy Cline's "Crazy' and "I Fall to Pieces," the lady has class like Ella Fitzgerald, regardless if you care for her music or not.Of the modern folk... | |
| How to spot a fake Oyaide plug People that sell fakes are stealing, same as a thief that makes off with your wallet.The people that build Oyaide get a bum rap when the end user is not impressed with performance and the buyer does not understand. It's pretty much bad for everyon... |
