My Feelings — and, Incidentally, the iFi Audio iPhono2
I would have insisted on a copy of the warranty conditions via email as soon at the iFi technician said "sorry but no". I bet they wouldn't have sent you that.

Shipping heavy speakers
I have just spent AUD$1500 (ins inc) shipping a rare 30kg turntable 1000kn to from Sydney to Brisbane. I went through all the freight companies with out satisfaction. Then went to removalists who said "oh that will need special wrapping and a crat...

max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation?
Correct me if I am wrong but the Oppo-203 has 2 HDMI outputs, one video and the other for audio only. If you use a 3-5m FIBBR HDMI cable you should get perfect sound. Otherwise you can use a XLR cable to the DAC. Optic is also great as Shadorne sa...

Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
I am unfortunate not to have access to modwright's modifications to the Oppo (105 &205) to make them sonically better if that can be detected. Different, but better? I can't offer an opinion but many subscribers expound on the improvement.I ha...

What is your favorite system for an Office or a Secondary System
Being on a different part of the planet where do not have the proliferation of brands and equipment (well second hand anyway) I would go the KEFs (wired or w'less) and a Naim Atom or Node2. Depends on what medium you play or if perhaps connected v...
