| OPPO 205 set up questions Lot of responses here. Agree HDMI to the marantz is the simplest for home theater. For two channel, given the praise of oppo, you’d be smart to test out which sounds best to you, the HDMI with marantz doing the da conversion or using the analog o... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? There were lots of hate threads on the portholes when they were rolled out. I’m amazed they are still around. They are just terrible. | |
| Seating suggestions Thanks for the suggestions. Overall the space is going to be a media room type of setting so compromises will be made! I’m not a hardcore 2 channel guy but I have nice equipment which I don’t think is likely being utilized to it’s full potential ... | |
| Go dual small sub, switch to closed sub or buy a bigger sub? I moved from a pair of pb-1000s to a pair of Jl Audio f212v2s. Literally night and day. The new subs are just cleaner- notes and bass lines are distinct and different frequencies are apparent. It was a massive change so massive changes were expect... | |
| Revel Ultima 2's and Amplification I have the same speaker setup you do, but in addition have revel four c583 in ceiling and a pair of jl fathom f212v2 subs. This is all running off of a marantz 8802a and a pair of lexicon rx-7 amps. Front three channels are all biamped. For my ... | |
| Y-split vs separate cables Interesting view I suppose. I’m interested in the actual effects of runnning a split cable vs using dual outputs. Maybe there is no bad outcome which would be great as I can do what I want while not having to upgrade to the 8805. | |
| Weakest link? I’ve thought about that route but have yet to see any prepros which include HT pass through for dual subs (I have 2 JL Audio f212v2 subs). The JL Audio CR-1 crossover might be a good option to have my oppo feed right into it and let the CR1 do the... | |
| Weakest link? Can someone provide links to the Omega E Mats? Google returned little in results. I'm not clear what any of that is. Same with audio-grade fuses, not really sure about that. I'll note I have Shunyata ZR-1 outlets (3 dedicated 20 amp, 30 foot runs... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning Hi - this is not my primary home theater system but probably is the primary viewing system. it’s in our casual family room where much is not optimal for sound and it’s used for everyday tv and music for the family room and kitchen. Currently it h... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning SO somewhat good news i checked my credit card which i used to purchase the unit and they add an extra year to the manufacturer warranty period so working through the claims process. So far so good. Despite the failure likely going to pick up the... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning Is that a general statement or was there something specific to this model? | |
| Oppo 105D app for Apple devices One thing I did find that added some functionality -you can put the YouTube app on your device and then add a bunch of items to a watchlist. Logon within the Oppo with the same user ID and they show up in a folder. Easier to use but downside is G... | |
| Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600? As I mentioned above economics are currently driving these down I’ve seen about 5 post within the last few days with the lowest price at $2,000.00 | |
| Sheffield drum record Perhaps this is less popular than I was holding. Ok how about the Ayre Cardas Efficacious burn in CD? Anyone have any luck with that? | |
| Question of power Appreciate everyone’s feedback thus far. One other note I have 2 of the JL subs and they are crossed over currently at 100hz so the speakers in general are not handling much in the way of low base duties thus should be sucking less power. Though... |
