| Question about new Oppo 4K player @randy-11 with regard to obsolescence the Oppo 4K will not be going anywhere anytime soon. 8K is already on the horizon but well known (documented) to be more than 10 years out before a player of that resolution is available in a U.S. home. Als... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers @bcgator you are correct about the Triton One's having ten drivers (4 passive). However, (a) better to have too big than too little where speakers are concerned IMO and (b) the Triton's (all powered models) have a bass control. One can dial down (... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Not to go off topic or hijack this thread but with regard to the LampizatOr interview he also states "... two channel stereo reproduction is kind of endangered species..." . I highly doubt that two channel will disappear. In my view two channel... | |
| Musical Fidelity Encore Connect I too am a owner of Musical Fidelity gear (M6si) and have had good experiences with it. So as far as brand goes I would give it a thumbs up.While I have little to no experience with their Encore, I don't believe it plays SACD, which the Esoteric k... | |
| Question about new Oppo 4K player Welcome to the forum ethos4lyfe Not much (there are some) Oppo 4K video questions/answers here. You may want to have a look at www.avsforum.com First off I can tell you there is no Oppo 4K player available yet. The UDP203 is coming later this year... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers @hifiron I GET (pun intended) what your saying about the Triton complexity and I'll buy that. Actually you make a good point. Also, note that I initially suggested the Triton's given your room dimensions. I didn't mention anything about dimensions... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers Salk and Legacy are nice speakers for sure. At that price point might as well also consider a Golden Ear Triton One. | |
| Class D Technology as georgelofi has pointed out I think class D strength lies in sub-woofer applications. They do a remarkable job in my Golden Ear Triton One’s. What I don’t understand - but am rather certain you guys do - is that in the case of the Triton One, th... | |
| NY Audio Show Hi mapman. I'm not going either. I also know that Golden Ear Technology will not be there. If you were going I would provide you with a 10% discount code redeemable when making an online ticket purchase. www.chestergroup.org/newyorkaudioshow/201... | |
| Class D Audio Brand does not honor warranty---AVOID!! Their website indicates " We also provide customer service and support that's second to none. " They have a testimonials section where seemingly anyone can post a review. It is certainly suspicious that of those that have posted, the score is 10/... | |
| Marantz vs. Emotiva @dbw1 I have some presumably favorable news for you. Emotiva just announced - not on their website but via email to certain subscribers/customers - today their "fall trade in" deals. They are offering $150 for your UMC-1 even if it is out-of-warra... | |
| Anyone with experience with the effectiveness of the AVA HUMDINGER? I use an Emotiva CMX-2. I have no hum what-so-ever, although I did not have hum to begin with. There is no harm in using this as it does not limit current in any practical sense. Relatively inexpensive and Emotiva regularly runs 15% off sales to b... | |

| Bi-Amp v. Uneven Speaker Cable Runs (Pass Labs B&W 802D) Option 3: Basically do nothing and leave both cables 30 feet. In the case of the 20-23 feet to spare side, instead of coiling the cable it can be laid in a more optimized fashion. | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? And while the graph does have an impedance below 4 ohms for most of the bass up until around 700 Hz, the operative word is "most". There is also a small range (say 70-90 HZ) where the impedance is up above 10 ohms. So the question raised as to whi... |
