Electrocompanient EMP-2 vs. Oppo BDP-103 I`d listen to the components before drawing any conclusions based on visual inspection alone. If the two players differ in their power supplies or analog circuit quality this would result in significant differences of levels of performance. | |
Jazz for aficionados O-10,I have a piano at home and my wife and I love to hear it played.I attend local jazz clubs regularly and have done so for many years. I have no delusion that home audio equals the live experience. What I've discovered though is certain types o... | |
What component is responsible for dynamics ? When I use the term realistic it's relative and assumed that it isn't identical to live, just closer to that preferred natural sound than hifi's unaturalness. | |
What component is responsible for dynamics ? Hi Csontos,You asked for my definition and I gave it.You certainty don't have to agree and may have your own interpretation which is fine.I just expressed how I categorize components based on what I hear and the resulting effect and reaction they ... | |
Magico Comparison Peterayer,You make a good point, Teeshot did inquire about Magico.The Rockport and Magico based on my listening to both brands are very different altogether and have little in common. What one likes is personal and subjective. I prefer Rockport bu... | |

House sound of CARY vrs AYRE? "many times bettet than LP" Be careful, some will consider that blasphemy (smile).Regards, | |
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?" Metalphoenix,What amplifier will you use? This will help those who offer advice.As Ricred1 pointed out, room size is an important factor. It's hard to discuss speakers without knowing those two variables. Regards, | |
Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Kiddman and Gregm,Well said! These two speakers epitomize those very different philosophical designs and the resulting sound you'll hear.Regards, | |
