Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203?
@soix Just that I might pick something up, or someone might bring something over, that I might want to hear without/before ripping to the Innuos.  
Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203?
@elliottbnewcombjr That Sony is a fantastic CD player and if I had that instead of the Oppo I'm sure I'd keep it indefinitely.  But, once I sell the Oppo, I'll have a limited budget to acquire equipment for a future that likely involves a transiti...

Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
The average non-audiophile is ignorant. Moving the speaker is like moving a chair to join a conversation; it can easily be put back close enough afterwards, and any variance is of no consequence. I had a maid that moved speakers a few times becaus...
