| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. The Wharfedale Bookshelf speakers arrived in 3 days, love them, looks and sound.Had to return the Oppo Blu-ray player (the audio Special Edition), the laser was no good, seems a common problem. | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Oppo doesn't work, unknown disc, no disc ... once it played a bit, very stuttering, what a shame. Seems like it is something in the mechanism, needs new belt, lube, lens cleaned, all of the above? I tried lens cleaning disc (tiny brushes), no change. | |

| Azimuth "recording" AzimuthIf you can carefully get azimuth correct with each of the 3 cartridges in their own headshell in that arm, then Azimuth is down to the minor movement possible when changing/tightening the headshells.I use a mirror the thickness of an LP. vi... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com What a shame this didn't go well for you. Best of luck concluding this to your eventual satisfaction. In my business I learned to anticipate the negative to achieve the positive. Not to overly defend them in your case, or blame the victim, bu... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? I’ve been thinking like the OP, except I haven’t even put my toe in the water. Finally see what it’s all about? I’ve seen my friend go thru upgrade after upgrade over a few years, nothing recently however.Are things ’essentially’ up there ’enough’... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Firmware Updates to CD/SACD/Blu-Ray players.I typically update my camera's firmware, but for audio use of these?I just bought a 2009 Oppo BDP-83SE (special edition, improved audio).https://hometheaterreview.com/oppo-digital-bdp-83-universal-player... | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? As it happens, ....I am revising my garage/shop 2 channel system, and will add a CD/SACD player.So, use 'new' one upstairs, put old one downstairs IF better.Bought used Oppo BDP-83SE (special edition ... better audio)https://www.theabsolutesound.c... | |

| Speakers for Computer Computer into Small Sound System.I spend a lot of time in my office. Last year I revised the whole room, files, desk, bc, and added a small sound system: real bookshelf speakers (fit on 11" deep shelf in a bookcase, seated ear level, no rear port)... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again roxy54IF it sounds good, yes, a fun quirk, but if I knew, that doesn't give a lot of confidence. They say they have units all over the world. They have had time to notice themselves. | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy It’s about transferring weight to smaller area, achieving greater lbs per sq. inch. Good concept, can make a small speaker heavy.I’ve done spikes, ... gave them away.Big or medium speakers (or small speakers on sand filled stands) are heavy enough... | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Aggravating, worrisome, but, I agree, let them get you a NEW (not fixed) unit, even if you have to wait.Go in writing, if the 3rd unit has any problem, you want a full refund, not store credit.I would send a copy of that, and the prior problems to... |
