Best speaker cables for Thiel CS 3.7

Anything to compete with Sony UHP-H1 ?
Hi ptss,I visited the Oppo website and studied their info on the new 203. It looks to me like they have opted to move focus toward video and away from audio with this player. The only thing that I found impressive is the new transport. What a let ...

A CD/SACD player to beat Oppo 105D at similar price range?

Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
I had the same experience, o. I have several panels and two bass traps in the attic as a result. So much for Ethan Winer's "cover the entire room" philosophy.I am truly happy to read that you have achieved your desired results. Enjoy your "new" sy...

Hi uberwalz,Check out the new ModWright Truth Marantz SA8005. I have owned and loved my Ayre CX-7eMP player for many years. I recently upgraded to a used MW 5400ES player, and all I can think about is how much I have been missing all these years. ...
