Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600?
For about $200 you can get the Sony ubx-700 4K player, get a used 105 for $700 or so, getit modded, then you still have $2000 grand left over for power cables, interconnects, etc. I’m sure once there last units start shipping you’ll see them for l... 
Oppo 105D app for Apple devices
I see this was a popular thread....anyways i reaches out to Oppo who informed me the app can not perform that function (seems like a miss) but they suggested to “cast” a device to the Oppo so I’m assuming this means I need to buy and plug in a chr... 
Stereophile and the JL Fathom F212v2
Have a pair of these. They are awesome. If you enjoy feeling the music or having your couch rattle during movies, check.  MASSIVE upgrade over prior svspb1000.   Very clean for music each bass line is discernible and impactful. Awhile back I had s... 
Marantz 8802 pure mode question
So so I finally located a chart in the manual on page 318. It appears on can use the subs in direct or pure direct mode if they are set to LFE+main.  so playing with that a bit but things sound quite different since the  Audyssey is not applied.  ...

Jl audio fathom f212v2 noise and hum
Emotive finally restocked the CMX-2, and I got one. And that did the trick for the humonly question left is whether all jl audio subs have a small pop when turning on.  It’s  not loud but loud enough to hear. Hoping that’s normal..... 
Black backgrounds and such
So this is all very interesting information. The one that caught my eye was from lowrider around hiss. Open to ideas how to, within financial reason, reduce that with the below in mind.- I have 3 dedicated 20amp circuits which are connected to a b... 
Black backgrounds and such
Thanks for all the responses. So does a small amount of barely audible hiss count against the black background?im still in search for some glossary that will normalize terms used in reviews. It all reads very poetically but hard to gauge whether c... 
Pittsburgh, PA Audio Club
Ok so maybe the first step is to pick some place central as a meet and greet?   Downtown on a Wednesday could be low impact to people’s schedules and I’d think we’d want at least 4 or more folks.   I’m open to ideas here.   
All Quiet on the Oppo front?

New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Consumption makes the world go around. Pays taxes, pays wages, etc. it’s good for those who make and those who consume. And then we get to benefit from the trickle down.  Why hold anything against folks who have enough money to spend on these?  I ... 
Best Buy to Pull CDs, Target Threatens to Pay Labels for CDs Only When Customers Buy Them
There current selection is terrible at best I do much much better at a local place Called the Exhange.  What I really don’t understand is why bestbuy wastes so much space with dvd only movies. Every movie should at least be a Blu-ray combo pack.  ...
