| Suggestions on DVD/CD player with great sound.... OK, Sony ES gear is nice. If I'm correct, it is older with no digital processing. With that said, you need a player with a good DAC. The fun part of the oppo is that it an act as a dac for other connections, it can link to your home network and ca... | |
| Better 2-channel music The Mac adds a little warmth and perhaps some depth. The XPA is a ton of clean power for the money. In my system I need a warmer sound and really enjoy some serious depth to my music. But yes, it is expensive.The XMC is a great piece and will do w... | |
| Better 2-channel music Phil,I'm not sure I would buy an 851 new. A used 850 will sound great. Other things that pop into my head are mainly circling around overkill. If you are doing 2 channel through a Cambridge, an oppo 103 will do just fine for theater and save you a... | |
| Suggestions on DVD/CD player with great sound.... A lot depends on your current system. A 1200 oppo would be a waste if you have a 200 receiver. | |
| oppo 105d straightup As a universal player it is great. If you want truly exceptional 2 channel, adding a nice DAC is probably cheaper and much better for resale than having a modded 105. Something like a modwright definitely is a step up but you will never get most o... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised It's a big difference. The B1 is a better technology than most Buetooth receivers which helps with signal quality. The source helps as well. Using high def Tidal or wav/flac/wmi files on your phone makes a difference. The Hugo can make almost anyt... | |
| Better 2-channel music A-What do you feel you are missing with the 7007?B-What is your tv quality-will you see the difference?C-Have you compared using the 103 as a transport versus using the 103 to handle all audio/video? What do you like and why?D-I think that audio, ... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Bcgator,Thanks for putting things into perspective. I love my audio system/s and listen more than most people. No complaints from me usually, just always the elusive "golden fleece". | |
| Puzzle: exceptional sound in custom amphitheater DJ and PA speakers are usually designed to be place in the open. Most home speakers actually will tell you how close to walls they should be placed for optimal sound.As a former klipsch owner (cornwall & heresy) my biggest concern would be ply... | |
| Better 2-channel music Come to Pittsburgh and I'll run my 105 direct into Mac amps or monoblock tube amps. Virtually any pre-amp we put into the chain will change the sound, usually for the better. Any quality pre will have a better volume control and add some gain as w... | |
| Potential seller's strange policy Run for the hills!If it's this complicated now, imagine what will happen when he doubles the shipping cost to you and already has your other money-you will be screwed. Worse yet, imagine how tough it will be to get any satisfaction if there is a p... | |
| Green Glue and Wall Channel Have you seen what a bucket of Green Glue costs? $330 roughly. If it's only 1 wall, it's much cheaper and way less labor intensive to use Quietrock. You fill the back wall with Roxul insulation and then just a single layer of Quietrock. Quietrock ... | |

| Puzzle: exceptional sound in custom amphitheater This was posted by Paul McGowan of PS Audio today. Most systems need walls and were designed that way. Personally, I'd never use a Pass amp outdoors, more like 1000 watt QSC monoblocks.By Paul McGowan:Taking walls for grantedThe walls in our homes... |
