Merry Christmas
Likewise!! 
Should I burn these?
Or as the old saying goes: "No highs, no lows - must be Bose".Bose was always infamously all about marketing rather than solid engineering and to be truthful that hasn't exactly been a secret. In spite of everything you probably shouldn't burn the... 
Amp with RCA inputs CLOSE together.
You'd need to confirm it before you buy, but the Musical Fidelity A3 CR and A3.2 CR are both well liked power amps in that power range and I *THINK* (if I recall right) that the RCA's on both amps are close enough together for you (someone please ... 
Best and Worst names in Audio
One of the worst (most worn out) names going right now has to be Quantum (although the Alan Maher Designs stuff I tried did actually prove to be better than it would imply). 
Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's?
Rbbrt - Wasn't aware of Mr. Curl's post until I saw yours here and of course didn't realize Oppo was taking the efforts of modders into account as they evidently are doing, thank you for setting me straight on that. I'm finding all of that interes... 
Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's?
I certainly agree with you that the art aspect is likely one reason why so many do claim that all high-end equipment has a distinct sound. But, for my money, I find that modding can actually increase the 'art factor' in equipment that already has ... 
Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's?
Rok2id - They likely simply don't know how to. Ric, for example, got his start building and modding amps about 3 decades ago. Along the way he picked up how to modify different caps (by that I mean the caps themselves are physically modded, on top... 
Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's?
Saving my pennies to get Ric's 103 to use as a transport. It'll go with his modded DEQ2496 I have with the same new clock. 
Ravi Shankar passes.
Yes, my thanks for your comments as well Kijanki. Came across Ravi in the late 60's and have been buying his music off and on ever since, many of those are still among my most deeply favored discs. I find his passing, inevitable as it was, has sti... 
Mancave help
Ooops! My bad if I got carried away (I've done it before, Lol). Dispense with the above if you like and I'll just say that the Divas at least *LOOK* like a steal, to me anyway. As for vintage speakers, that's not really my thing so I'd be outta my... 
Mancave help
Have never heard them, but have a gut feeling at least that they may turn out to be something of value for you, especially at $250. Just looking at them I can see that they use HiVi M-series woofers, this series of drivers in this size and as well... 
Older is better - D/A chip?
I second what Roscoeiii said. Everything else matters too. 
VMPS Speakers Co. Closes Down
Saddened to hear this, hope Brian can indeed recover and wishing him all the best. 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
Looks like there's nothing wrong with what you've stated about copper vs silver here. I can only add to that...except that I wouldn't call copper dark, so much as just mellow. With OCC vs OFC (or silver as well), lower-ordered rhythms are more eas... 
Hi-Fi Shop in Colombia, SC
I went inside Upstairs Audio, although it was many years ago. The only reason I remember it was because it made such a completely forgettable impression on me the moment I did - I'll just say that about everything you could imagine to violate the ...
