| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Wait, the guy marketing a speaker told you that that same speaker was the best. I need a chair; this is all too much. | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player The MPS-5 does not use a VRDS transport; it uses a VOSP transport from Esoteric (which are completely different; you can read about the different transports from Esoteric on their website). In any case, the VOSP transport is not noisy in my experi... | |
| Blu Ray player-- Too many options The BDP-83/SE/NuForce Edition are no longer made. The successor BDP-93 and BDP-95 apparently have and will have, respectively, superior sonics in their price class versus the older models as well as improved file compatibility and Netflix. | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in There are no SHM hybrids that I've ever seen. | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in It really depends on the SHM-SACD. Overall, in my experience, I have been very pleased as the majority are excellent but there are certain titles that stand out on both end of the spectrum - top notch (Who's Next, Wheels of Fire, Paranoid, Aja, Ve... | |

| oppo 93 You can go to the avs forums and read hundreds of posts on the topic. Basically, it's still in the oven and there is a reason it hasn't been released to the general public, but typical oppo quality. Analog sound quality appears similar to the 83. ... | |
| Wadia S7i direct to amp I understand the concepts at play here and as I stated, I have owned Wadia gear for extended periods. Unfortunately, given your posts in this thread, it does not appear that you want to accept anything other than your own opinion. No use in furthe... | |
| Krell KID vs. Wadia i170. Unfortunately, Wadia couldn't hit an estimated ship date if their collective lives depended on it. Enjoy the holidays and worry about it in 2011. | |
| Wadia S7i direct to amp Unfortunately Paperw8, what you fail to realize is that the concept is quite simple. The Wadia is trying to do two jobs - that of a CD player and that of a preamplifier. It should come as no surprise that a top flight dedicated preamplifier, such ... | |
| EchoBuster products, Does anybody use them? They closed down shop from what I understand. Too bad. I'm still using my set and remain very happy with the performance and aesthetics. | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? The one for the UK mains is available generally. I probably will first try that one on the mains on my Hot Box as a test case before I decide whether to run around trying to track down those other elusive green ones for my components. |
