Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
Hi, Jdub39. I suspect your Oppo95 is very good on playback. Oppo really souped up the analogue section compared to the 83SE. I imagine all that experice with the 83SE has led to a serious audio improvment with your 95. Look at the Rotel transforme... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
Hi, Mrtennis. The Nuforce 93NE is $899 US. If you already own an oppo 93[I think they're selling for about $499US,] the Nuforce upgrade board can be bought separate and installed by the 93 owner. I believe I saw that on their website. THe Modwrigh... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
After a 20 hour break-in[suggested by Jason at Nuforce], I have really started to listen to this unit. My system is old, Sim, Krell Roxan, wiring by Acoustic Zen, Monarchy Audio, [all single core crystal]. PS audio Power Quintet, Power cds by Pang... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
Well the Nuforce 93SE arrived this pm. . Will give it break-in. But out of the box, it's a keeper. I guess my beloved Oppo 83SE will have to fine a new home before spring ends. More to follow. I think I'll be doing alot o listening in the next few... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
Yes, I will. I have some audiophile friends dropping in after I've broken it in. One is a Leban guy and the other has Pass Labs. Their cd playbackbacks are Marantz Sacd and ArcamFMJ33, which already showed itself to be more refined and finished in... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
I guess this product is too new. ANyways, I pulled the trigger and ordered a BDP-93NE. It ships on March 31st. I'm taking advantage of the 30-day return policy[I will only be out shipping if the unit fails to impress. I think this is a win, win as... 
Onkyo Commits to 2-ch digital amplification
Interesting products from a company that makes good product. I imagine there will be a lot of reviews out on these before years' end. Also there will be feed back at some date I assume from people who have actually bought them. On paper they appea... 
Gene Pitney RIP
True Love Never Runs Smooth, my fav, also I'm Gonna Be Strong, Last Chance To Turn Around, Looking Through the Eyes OF Love, Backstage[I'm Lonely] and Only Love Can Break a Heart....A style all his own....some of these songs just don't "sound" rig... 
Good Budget CD and integrated????
You could also look at Cambridge Audio. Their new line of cd spinners are in your price range. If you combine the Integrated amp with the cd player from the same place of purchase they should give you a bit of a deal.....worth trying for. All the ... 
New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player
I'm very happy with my RAM tosh3950 with the superclock 3. Friends who have hear the RAM in my system kept saying how relaxed and easy the music flowed, no harshness on vocals and you could really turn the volume up. Width, depth and height of ima... 
Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost
Well, everthing depends on your preference, in your system, in your room. But I had red dawn speaker wire and IC. I replaced it with the Satori and matrix ic. In my system, single-ended solid state using newforms r8-2's the AC was simply more full... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Ram tosh 3950 with superclock 3...very analogue-like in its presentation..... 
New Van Morrison disc
On first play I said okay and put it away. Played it a couple of weeks later and realized the new Van Morrison is a keeper....it really grew on me. After all, Van is Van. Good stuff. 
Esoteric DV-50s Modified by Reference Audio Mods
Like many modders they are very busy..[a good thing], but I've had answers to my e-mails. My RAM tosh 3950[fully modded has shipped]...I do know Doug at East Ram had some vacation....but is back and very busy. Did you realize Ram will be offering ... 
Have Pre/Power amps had there day?
In theory I would think one less interconnect in the system would be a plus. Interestingly, Simaudio's well repected line of pre/power and monoblocks, for example, are outsold by their I-5 intergrated. I understand a new moon 1-7 intergrated is co...
