| Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player Another negative I saw in a review with the Magnetar 900 is no visible display for the volume level unless the tv is on, Oppo 205 shows volume 1-100% in the display which is important when just listening to music if using as a preamp as I do. | |
| Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player I have owned a Oppo 205 since 2018, right before they discontinued them, it is used daily and has worked flawlessly. I absolutely love it. Up until now there has not been another universal player that equals the features of the Oppo 205. The Magne... | |
| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs I have tried cd pads in the past and have had issues with them getting stuck inside. No more pads for me. I used a Bendini clarifier, demagnatizing device and still treat the cd edges with green paint, seems to work quite well. | |
| Streamers made in America? Even the so called American, made components likely have China made internal components. Many people like Hegel products, guess what, made in China. | |
| Marantz vs. Oppo or Theta I have the Oppo 205, love it, does practically everything, use it as a dac preamp direct to my power amp. Run a subwoofer and separate surround channels from it. Not sure how it compares to others mentioned BUT I am not aware of any other universa... | |
| Maggies and subwoofer integration I have a pair of LRS and use the big HSU VTK-15h MK2 and it works very well for me. I recommend, and am able to cross over my LRS at 80hz. I use a Oppo 205 source and am able to set the crossover point. People say that Magnepans don’t need a s... | |
| Hifi Man Sundaras! I have the HiFi Man edition XS and also Magnepan LRS speakers. | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! I could be wrong but does Tekton not use PA type drivers in their speakers? Hence the high sensitivity rating. | |
| Magnepan DWM Bass Panel I am running a HSU 15” sub with my LRS and it works quite well for me. | |
| Eversolo Flagship DMP -8 - Dac Streamer Server Preamp- A True Audiophile Bargain Does anyone know if on the A8 you can simultaneously use both analog outputs BUT set the high pass filter on one output independently of the other output? I would like to be able to set the high pass at 80hz for example on the xlr outputs but st... | |

| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Sounds to me like there is a problem with your Electras. My 946s have a very detailed midrange and treble. Infact I have even heard complaints about the Electras being too detailed and bright sounding. I find my 946 Electras to sound neutral altho... | |
| Audioprism CD Blacklight mat? Thanks for the response. Another thing I was also concerned about is whether adding a CD mat would shorten the life of the transport motor due to spinning extra weight. This would kind of be like spinning two CDs at a time instead of one. | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? Excellent choice. | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? I have not heard the Revel or Sophias but am familiar with the sound of other Wilson speakers but I have to agree with Aball's comments above. I also own JM Lab speakers and am quite familiar with and have heard most of their models. They do provi... |
