| Samsung buys Harman for $8B Samsung "service" SUCKS!!! | |
| power conditioner @lostbears okay, I read ya. Curious though because in any case fluorescent lighting can be a cause of DC on the line, and in particular if there are any dimmers involved. Also, it doesn't necessarily matter that any "offending DC item" be on the s... | |
| power conditioner @lostbears power conditioners are not designed to address hum (if coming from your amps transformer). This is why you need a DC filter.I recommend - what I use - an Emotiva CMX-2. Besides the fact that it "works", it is inexpensive (less than $100... | |
| power conditioner @toolbox149 turn on and off even if that means on your hands and knees | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? @donvito101 +1. Otherwise I would have recommended Golden Ear Triton Three Plus instead of 5 | |
| power conditioner @ptss I looked at the site and without reading more than 10 minutes or so I'd say at face value their products (they have many models) seem viable. The technology is toroidal transformer isolation which is already known as being very good. Not su... | |

| Is OPPO losing it's way? @dlcockrum Thanks. I'll give serious consideration to modifying the UDP-205 once it is available, I purchase it and listen to it stock for a little while. This way I can at least have an idea of the "before and after" sound. @ricevs I glanced over... | |
| power conditioner @falconquest to your point "And it's not like they wear out so your investment can last for many many years" this is true, however, in the case of an actual surge I come to learn (by talking to electronic repair shops, not first hand experience) t... | |
| power conditioner Would like to directly answer the question posed at the start of the thread. My opinion is yes, power conditioning is important and no, it does not - or more accurately should not - improve the sound quality. As I’ve stated elsewhere on this forum... | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? @ricevs Thanks. | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? @ricevs given your opinion that a modification can make a great improvement, may I ask whom (company, etc.) might you recommend to make such a modification and and what cost? Also, does the modification come with a warranty (because Oppo's would b... | |
| Question about new Oppo 4K player Yet another reason the Oppo is relatively inexpensive is because most other audio only and/or audio/video brands are overpriced.Something else to be aware of about the forthcoming 4K Oppo's which purportedly is a plus is that they have transferred... |
