| Tinnitus @handymann - I too have the ringing (first noticed at five years old). I also have hypertension. The noise seems to be loudest (never severe) when my BP is up there. Might be worth investing in a BP "Cuff" and take readings when you have episodes... | |
| 804D3 VS Cabasse IROISE 3 VS Spendor D7 If I didn't own the B&W 804D3s, I'd have Klipsch Forte III. I love the B&Ws (need a subwoofer) but I'm limited in my choice of amp (mostly high-power Solid State). The Klipsch would let me have a collection of low-powered (and lower priced... | |
| SACD drive sources If you have an Oppo SACD player, send a note to Oppo service desk and obtain 1-2 replacement LASER sleds. These probably cost $60 or so. I'm planning to do the same. | |

This was the 30" version of Sony’s Wide-screen WEGA CRTs (150 pounds of glass!). Two weeks after warranty expired, the tuner card gave out. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty and ... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash I had a broken cartridge lead and asked manufacturer for a tone-arm rewire. They said "can't help you, Bub". I will never be their customer again. | |

| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? Oppo will provide support for five years (or so I've heard). I own a 205 and don't have any complaints. Is it the best sounding unit on the planet? Probably not but, to me, it's good enough. | |
| Which bookshelf speakers to choose: Focal Sopra 1 or B&W 805D3 or KEF Ref 1? KEF has an on-line store. Don't know the return policy but they might be worth a try.https://www.kefdirect.com/ | |
| Which bookshelf speakers to choose: Focal Sopra 1 or B&W 805D3 or KEF Ref 1? I own B&W 804D3s which have one of the top five tweeters I’ve heard. Probably cant go wrong with the 805s. If these will be on your desk, or very close, I'd use the KEFs with their Uni-Q driver. |
