| Best Audio store in Tokyo ? Akhibara's a waste of time today, almost all the high end and vintage dealers are gone, what remains are tourist traps catering to lower end regional travelers or anime themed stores selling colectable trash to adults. Your best bet is to buy a re... | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? Pokey77, I'm comparing it mid priced Denon Universal players from $700 - $1500 range. The model nos. are irrelevant as they're changing them constantly along with the US price points. | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? Hi Pokey77, I arrived at my conclusions during the custom installations I've done over the past few years. Most of the time I'm comparing the Oppo to Denon players and prefer the latter in every case. I don't sell either product and don't have a h... | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? I still can't understand the infatuation with Oppo, even as a DVD player. I don't see a superior image to any $300 DVD player from Denon, Panasonic or Sony. Sonically it's mediocre at best and easily beaten by a Meitner BiDat of years ago. | |

| Best Tannoys for mid-field listening? Confirm Kiddman. They will all work in near and midfield but you can't just drop them, or any other speaker in the room at random and expect them to work their best. You need to know and understand how to set the speakers up properly to optimize t... | |
| XLR/TRS to RCA? Adapters or cables? That's the most sensible thing to do for you! | |
| Speaker recommendations for new venture Not enough information for what type of space is system used for. Is it background or intrusive like abercrombie & fitch stores designed to force the parents of teenagers out of the store asap? What type of music? What's the TV for? What size?... | |
| XLR/TRS to RCA? Adapters or cables? I go with Al on this. If you have a chance to test the TRS to RCA cables then this is your best choice but you never know what kind of ground noise you're dealing with until you're there. The Jensen transformers are great and will deal with any ki... | |
| Would appreciate feedback on logic Zd542, thank you for sharing but your grandma's advice is probably more relevant to you than to others. I had my own grandma with her own set of values.With that out of the way, I wasn't implying op's question as stupid but wondering if he's tryin... | |
| Would appreciate feedback on logic Is this a trick question? You can't seriously be asking about wires with the setup you described. | |
| Why not horns? Interesting article Rok2id! | |
| Why not horns? Frogman, What would you call creating a bully pulpit through misinformation and misguidance to satisfy one's ego and fulfill a personal agenda without care for those who're your supposedly helping? Not to make this political; " if you like you can... |
