| Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas? IMO, you are approaching this the wrong way by assuming "isolation" as you call it, will yield a sound that is more preferable to you. I'm a big fan of standmounts and I have consistently found that each speaker requires something different to ad... | |
| some one tell me......... I don’t think the analog output is very high on Oppo stuff. My 205 when set to full has significantly less output than my EAR set at about 2/3 full volume. I don’t think it matters. And if it is shutting down, it sounds like you might have some ty... | |
| The Difficulties in Component "Shootouts" @dgarretson - Yeah, I let them warm up for at least an hour, but that's not really my point. The Oppo is not fully broken in, so I'm expecting the low-level detail to improve. But my point was not to illustrate which was better, but to discuss t... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs This was supposed to be funny. I forgot - nothing is funny in audio. | |
| Just Got My Oppo 205! I found that it sounded significantly better after being on for a few hours. I was hoping to leave it on all the time, but it gets a bit warmer than I am comfortable with for a 24-hr/day thing. The Oppo PM3 phones sounded very good through the h... | |
| Beware the audio guru I think this may be relevant to this discussion - When I had my first real opportunity to do a recording as a drummer back in the late 70's, I was shocked to hear a rather large disparity between what I thought I played and what I actually played.... | |
| How many of us really suffer from AUDIOPHILIA NERVOSA As with many things, AN is not an all-or-nothing thing. There are varying degrees. Also, suffering from symptoms of AN is not the same as suffering from AN. A cough is a symptom of pneumonia, but it doesn't mean you have pneumonia because you h... | |
| Can you ever get perfect alignment? So far we have one "of course we can't" and one "of course you can". I know we may be able to get a cart perfectly lined up with a gauge, but is the gauge lined up? | |
| Just Got My Oppo 205! So I've had the Oppo for about 5 weeks and I've really come to like it. I even got one of the last pairs of the PM3 headphones because I wanted a pair of closed-backs. I have to say, I really enjoy the simplicity of just plugging a headphone int... | |
| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better I don't think there is any way to predict which shelf will sound better. When I had my Linn, it sounded best with a glass shelf on the Naim rack, but MUCH better with a Neuance platform on the wall shelf. My Basis sounds best with a Corian shelf... | |
| Yanni or Laurel? Mow the lawn? I thought you said "watch TV". | |
| Happy with digital, but thinking about vinyl--looking for system specific recommendations I would go with the Music Hall 7.3 recommended above. It's definitely good enough to let you know if vinyl means anything to you. I bought a Musical Hall 5.1 back in 2005 when I started my mid-life vinyl journey and I was able to understand what... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? I'll tell you one thing - it would be simple, SS and something that could be left on all the time so I could just play music when I felt like without the warm-up rituals and all the other bs we go through sometimes. Maybe an Accuphase integrated ... | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? Like others said, you just have to try. I initially started by buying a used Audience AR1p (i think) for a couple of hundred. I plugged it into the wall and plugged my Wiremold power strip into it and I was very pleased with the result. So much so... | |
| Cartridge replacment time Now that I'm getting older and less inclined to fool with gear, I recommend a cartridge with a relatively large and protruding cantilever so you can get it aligned easier. These tiny cantilevers tucked in under the body are a PITA. |
