Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions.
I have not checked out FALD or QLED. All I can say is that in 2016 the top of the line OLED beat everything else very very easily.Very easily?http://4k.com/tv/samsung-ks9800-review-suhd-4k-ultra-hd-240mr-smart-led-tv-un65ks9800-un78ks9500-un8... 
Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions.
@noble100 Hi Tim. I don't have a QLED. I merely stated QLED is Samsung's latest technology. I further indicated that I have a UN65KS9800 (which is an SUHD with FALD). Compare an LCD with full array local dimming to OLED and whatever you prefer by ... 
Cassette Tape
Maxell xlii 90. The "S" version is "better" but usually unnecessary and not worth the extra cost, IMO. I recently sold off all of my 800+ tape collection.

@falconquest And what about the High End Munchen 2015 - AudioQuest Niagara 7000 video you posted? I listened (at 1.5 or 2 x speed) the first 15 minutes and didn't hear/see anything worth remembering.

Balanced power recommendations are certainly worth entertaining assuming the OPs specification of "reasonable cost" extends to $2500 and beyond.

Technically, I believe you’re correct that Samsung’s QLED is the most recent technology. IMO, however, OLED is the much more impressive technology. The latest 65" LG and 65" Sony (which uses an LG panel) 4K with active HDR models clearly offer the...

OLED is the latest screen technology and it every bit as good as plasma but has far better resolution than plasma every achieved. My TV is the LG 4K OLED 65 inch and the quality is stunning. I checked it with professional photos on a memory stick ... 
Oppo protection plan ??
ptss, personally I wouldn't purchase an extended warranty. Where are you finding that offer? I do see they have a one year extended warranty for $99. So in this respect, 4 years for $135 could be thought of as a good deal.https://www.oppodigital.c...

power conditioner
Panamax and Furman are (now, and for more than two years) the same company - Core Brands. Their is not much difference between the two per se, instead it comes down to model and purpose. Furman is oriented to those who desire voltage regulation, w... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Additionally, in my comparison with Sony’s ability to play the 4K movies vs oppo, the oppo udp-205 had slightly better movie image but could not justify the price tag vs the cheaper sony 4k (UBP‑X800 player $149 BF deal down from $299). Oppo UDP-... 
Which integrated amp?
@csmgolf I’d like to clarify my previous statement "I’ve found that (and very much to my liking) that when the volume control is at the 9 position, extremely subtle clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation can have a big impact. Not nearly as much whe... 
Which integrated amp?
How do the Musical Fidelity integrated amps (either M6 si or M6 500i) do at low volume or with speakers that are not real demanding to drive? I have read several reviews and am intrigued by them for sure. I previously had an LSA Statement, which w... 
Still looking for a DAC I can demo at home. . .
While I liked the fact I was able to demo the Yggdrasil in home, I wasn't particularly fond of the restocking fee if I had chosen to return it, or the relatively narrow 15 days window of time to do so. That said, if memory serves Schiit sees close...
