| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? Jay, I know I sound like I am about to feed you another companies kool-aid, but the Emotiva ERC-2 is an absolutely wonderful CD only player. On top of that Emotiva has their Christmas sale going and 30day hassle free returns. If you do not need SA... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? Lets say your vinyl had a scratch across it and knocked your needle out with your best sounding cart. If it played with one that sounded pretty good, would you throw out your best cart and keep the one that sounded ok for the usability? I infact e... | |

| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I would assume that the Ayre does not have as much error correction in an attempt for a purist approach. I figure Mr Hansen cares more about the quality of the sound than his player working with uncared for media. That is also my priority, I would... | |
| Ayre K5xe vs BAT Pre I didn't switch from an Ayre. I never had an ayre amp. I would love to try a V5xe or V1xe but the BAT is sounding and looking pretty good. | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I believe that the Ayre probably does not have as much error correction to try and give you as pure of a signal as possible. I would guess Mr. Hansen cares more about sound quality than playing uncared for disks. | |
| Ayre K5xe vs BAT Pre Well I sold the emotiva before I received the Bat so I cannot make an A/B comparison, but I owned the emotiva long enough to know the sound quite well. The main things that jumped out at me. The Bat is a little darker sounding, the UPA-2 was not b... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I can confirm statman remark about the ayre being picky with scratches. I had a couple used cd's that were slightly scratched, never had an issue with my other players. Lets just say they were not playable in the C5xeMP. Since I realized this I ha... | |
| Ayre K5xe vs BAT Pre I would love to trade someone my VK-500 for Ayre V5xe purely on synergy. I was able to get a good deal on the bat locally that no one currently selling a V5 was willing to give me. So that is the reason for the purchase of the Bat. The amp I repla... | |
| Ayre K5xe vs BAT Pre Thanks, so just like all equipment it seems to be more personal preference than one being better. As for the Maggie's, I have heard quite a few Wilson, B&W, and Revel systems and always felt the Maggie's were more emotionally involving. | |
| emotiva amps Actually the XPA-1 has no issue plugging into a standard outlet. The XPR series which is their upcoming super high power amps do require a 20a line and plug. But the owner stated in their forum that you could just buy an adapter if need be, they h... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I can say I have done direct A/B comparisons between the oppo 95, Ayre C5xeMP, and Emotiva ERC-1. The ERC sounded much more natural on cd playback with a deeper soundstage, obviously could not play SACD's. The oppo won out on ERC-1 to oppo sacd pl... | |
| Review: ayre cx-7e mp CD Player The Ayre does not handle nor like scratches on the disks its trying to play. I have had previous players that never had a problem with the same disks the Ayre yells about. It sounds like you were playing disks with a little to much damage on them ... | |
