| Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences TOBES - many thanks for further info! Yes, weight may be an issue, as you mentioned...also, understood that it's a good cart for the price but won't reach the performance of the much more expensive ones. I am planning for the re-build of my Shelte... | |
| Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences TOBES - Many thanks!!! for taking the time and sharing the perfect info (the guy should write a book). Now I know I need the 103r (which I will get ASAP) and I got a new thing to obsess over for the future - how would the cart sound in a stone body? | |
| Help me pick a great phono cable I went through many highly regarded phono cables in my search, and I ended up with AQ Leopard (DIN to RCA though), so I recommend auditioning that one if you can. | |
| Prog Rock Van Der Graaf was huge in Italy as well, in the early 70s - blend that with classical, jazz and their own unique approach and that's what many of the outfits sounded like. It's funny (and proabably typical) - my fave PT by far is In Absentia which... | |
| Prog Rock I enjoy the early 1970s prog classics - Gentle Giant, KC, Genesis, Yes et al...I am constantly looking for new exciting prog records (and find very little that really impresses me)...in 2008 Diagonal came out with an album (Rise Above Records - ye... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Thanks - I do use Kontak that I like, so did that (I do have a bottle of Caig Deoxit Gold as well, I tried it once way back and stopped using it as it's 'oily' and affected the sound negatively in my opinion...maybe I'm just using it the wrong way... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Jdub39 - many thanks again for relevant info. Firmware upgrade, huh? I'll do that soonest...sure seems like a good idea to connect balanced to power amp directly and look forward for report on that experience ;-)I know I'll end up there at some po... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Jdub39 and Jfz - I probably have 100 hours on it now and soundwise it clearly follows the 'break-in' schedule you posted...the sound has opened up considerably and inching a good bit closer to the analog rig (naturally I am using the 'Pure Sound' ... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Awesome Jdub39 - extremely helpful...just what I was looking for! I just got the Oppo 95 today (replacing an Oppo 970 which has been one of the absolute best values I've encountered) - was hoping to give my analog some competition (it's not an eas... | |
| Best Live Album Ever... UFO - Strangers in the night | |
| Signature Anti-Cables I am still running the silver signatures on the 'money back period', but it 'sounds like' they are staying...I like the anti-ic's very much, and after trying to find an IC (more expensive ones of course) that would improve the sound in my system -... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? I liked my blue heaven so much I first bought red dawn, and then frey thinking I'd like them better - I didn't and have sold those again and the BH revision II bi-wire remains (going on 4 years now) and I am happy with these...if you can, you shou... | |
| 100 watts amp suggestion? I have had Creek Destiny integrated with my SA2K Master speakers for a long time, and I ain't looking anywhere else...I'd recommend an audition. | |
| Great sounding WLP LPs. I have been checking out the sound of many WLP (mainly classic rock and prog) through the years - it seems WLP is US pressings only...examples of awesome sounding WLP in my experience is Free - same (1970 2nd record), Highway and At Last. Alice Co... | |
| Favorite poorly-recorded albums Iggy and the Stooges Raw Power (I'm sure the poor recording was intentional). Sex Pistols as well. |
