| Blue ray player with good audio That's good to know Knghifi. In all fairness I haven't heard the Blue Ray players that Oppo has out, I based my comment on my experience with their DV-980h. I used the 980h in my secondary system as a stand alone player and it does indeed have ver... | |
| Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti? Ditto what Chayro, Cerrot & Elizabeth said. I have the distinct pleasure of listening to Jonathan's MPS-5 at a close friends house here in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area on a regular basis. It's an incredible unit, I never thoug... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Ella Fitzgerald-All time greatest. Anita O'Day. Sarah Vaughn. Deborah Voigt. Dame Joan Sutherland. Maria Callas. Leontyne Price. | |
| Why terminations on speaker cable? That's a great question Paul. I have Morrow Audio SP-2 Speaker Cables in both of my systems, and one pair is unterminated wire. When I bought my second pair of cables from him, Mike Morrow told me that unterminated wire is flat out the purest conn... | |
| Blue ray player with good audio I would go for the Oppo BDP-83/SE and combine it with a musical DAC. I'm using an Oppo DV-980h Universal Player paired with an older CAL Sigma single tube DAC. How good does it sound on 2-channel redbook/SACD audio? The Oppo/Sigma combo smoked my ... | |
| Current Inexpensive CD Vs High Priced 90's I'm using an Oppo DV-980h connected to a vintage CAL Sigma DAC, which I retubed with a NOS 1960 British made Mullard 12ax7 tube. The results are simply stunning, and in fact better than than the sound of my $1800 Doge 6 Tube CDP. In fact I just so... | |
| AntiCables v. Morrow? I have Morrow cables, cords & interconnects in both of my systems and I am completely happy with them. mORROW CABLES are extremely musical, detailed and a flat put bargain too boot. In fact Morrow's Reference 2 series replaced Kimber Select 10... | |
| New audiophile looking for first speakers. HELP 2nd for the Revel F12, or their excellent M20. If you can find a used Revel F30 it would be an excellent choice for you. The F30 should sell for about $1000 these days. | |
| Powering Revel Concerta F-12 with Creek 5350 SE It might be apples to oranges, but my Revel F30's need some power to really sing. I'm using a Bryston 4B-ST which bench tested at 294 WPC. I understand that the the Revel M20 needs power to really come alive as well. | |
| New Budget CD Player Opteron, I'm using an Oppo DV-980h connected to a CAL Sigma DAC, which I retubed with a NOS 1960 British made Mullard 12ax7 tube. The results are better than than the sound of my $1800 Doge 6 Tube CDP. In fact I sold the Doge, it sounded laid back... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Audi A4 3.2L Quattro. | |
| Morrow vs. PNF speaker cable Haven't heard the PNF cables, but I have Morrow cables, cords & interconnects in both of my systems and I am completely happy with them. In fact Morrow's Reference 2 series replaced Kimber Selects in my main system. Not only do the Morrow cabl... | |
| modest DAC for iMAC+iTunes? I'm getting great sound running itunes via my PC into a Music Streamer+ in my secondary system. No complaints at all. The price on the original Music Streamer+ has dropped to $189 BTW. | |
| Meridian 808.2i vs Ayon CD-5? I heard the Ayon CD-5 when I was at Morrow Audio buying some new interconnects a few weeks ago, and it sounded utterly fantastic in Mike Morrow's listening room system. Unfortunately I don't have the $$ for Ayon gear, but you might want to give Mo... | |
| HRT Music Streamer + vs. Firestone Audio Fubar II I have the original Music Streamer + and it's a great performer as well as being a steal at the newly discounted price of $189 found online. |
