| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. An excellent used Rotel RCD-1072. I have heard many pricier CDP's, and the Rotel is a sure fire winner at your price point. | |
| Oppo DBP-83 SE http://audioaficionado.org/general-audio-discussion/2991-oppo-bdp-83se-versus-mcintosh-mcd500.html..and for a few hundred more you can have your SE upgraded to the NuForce Edition. High performance for audiophiles of modest means. | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question Gerrym5,OK, I'll bite:LFD amplification, Harbeth speakers, LFD cabling, music server connected to Benchmark Dac1 Pre. Yeah, yeah, not the orthopedic surgeon priced bling some bliss out on, but I've enough gear to know NF 83 plays (almost) all disc... | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question With all due respect, I'll pass on attempting a review. I'll let others better qualified submit their impressions. Sorry to titillate the fence sitters & then bow-out on the details. | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question I've been using the NuForce Edition BDP-83 for about three weeks. Thank goodness I didn't purchase one of those costly universal players, or several stand alone disc players. Yes NF SE is that good. I betcha plenty of highfalutin disc players will... | |

| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? Best source is kind of a given - no? Who the heck spends a small fortune on audio components and then uses crappy source material? | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE No, but soon I will be hearing the OPPO BDP-83SE NuForce Edition in my 2-channel system. | |
| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? Comments thread:Harbeth's sound just fine with most any decent amp, SS or tube. Harbeth's designer has conveyed this same message over and over. The Harbeth line on sub-implementation with their speakers is "no". Same answer with bi-amping & b... | |
