Digital or Analog Out for Oppo BP-83
Well if you have the required cables---that would be a digital cable; or a pair of regular interconects--- I would say try it both ways and hear for yourself.

Wondering about adding surround back spkrs.
Not being able to read but having been into surround sound before most knew it existed; that would be mid '80's--- The room size and all the usual criteria apply.If you like what you have--just buy the speakers--i.e. jump in the water. Rear speake... 
Using Samsung DVD player as CD player?
Just my two cents worth: A dvd player's main function is mostly about movies. There must be hundreds of opinions in our past threads. Read through some and I think you'll find a decent used stand alone cd player is the way to go.---Latter maybe a ... 
Best surround processor $2-2.5K used ????
I am on my second hdmi rec. My first was the Onkyo 875. It ran HOT,HOT. but who could complain about doing hot dogs and marshmallows in your living room.? It failed within 4 months.---BUT,before its demise it sounded great for sure. Then I bought ... 
Micheal Green Rack Justarack
I believe everybody has stated the benefits quite well so I have nothing to add beyond I own two deluxe /one a 4 the other a 5 and have had them for 10 years or more. As the components come and go the adjustability is a god-send. 
Describe the ideal high end audio dealership
The title to this thread is an oxymoron; right???Dealers can't carry everything or complete lines of such. They'd owe the bank in the millions and the rent on 6 acres of showroom would be considerable. Then he would have to have a small army as th...

For those afraid of the MIT prices---Terry at Overture says the Spectral cables work well,and why wouldn't they; without the sticker shock.I would think him to be very informed at what cables with Spectral products including the new series 2 of th... 
Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?
As a Sophia 2's owner I have run them with the CJ350ss amp. They sounded good until I got the Roland 312. ---Which was a nice step up. My Wilson dealer has recommended the Ayre MXR's----I'm thinking about that along with Ayre's K-something pre and... 
no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this similar situation. In the mid '90's I was going 'crazy' improving my digital. I brought home 4 different dacs; 1 a week ---none did much for me till I brought home a Theta 5.--(The other 4 were each in the s...

Been waiting for years. This is my fav for sure. At the time I had it on lazer disc. I still think of this as one of the best videos ever. So, pic. and sound is better than any 'Floyd; even if it is sans Roger. 
Speaker break in ? Aerial 9 went fr bad to amazing
I know we have had hundreds of posts on this break-in subject. For many great speakers 8/10 months break-in; is required. So your Aerials may improve over the next 6-8 months.This break-in can cause one to misjudge an amp./ well for me it sure did... 
New amp or cd player?
Yo,Kev--you might mention how much moola ya wana spend. As you might guess there is better in amps and cd players. Your speakers are pretty good and could use some better pieces driving them. 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
I'm glad that somebody finally mentioned "audio on BD". I own the Pioneer 6020 and the Denon 4308ci. I own 3 bd players---one being the older Sam.1200---the Pioneer '95 and the Sony 550. On reg dvd the Sammy 1200 is about what our poster is referr... 
New to Classical Music - Album to try first??
I can only offer how it is for me,or how I started. I guess the Lone Ranger theme was my start/as a kid. (That's Rossini) Then on to the Tchaikovsky's 1812,also as a kid.Movies are loaded with great classical music> Amadeus/ Out Of Africa in th...
