REVIEW: Martin Logan Motion 4 Speakers
I've been looking for some monitors to go on the selves in my living room and ran across these yesterday at BB Magnolia. You're review is spot on. They had them hooked to a Pioneer Elite receiver and I don't even know what the source was, but they... 
Time Warner Cable Converter box
I've got a similar problem, but worse. I can't get the HDMI output of my Scientic Atlantic box to sync with my Sony TV at all. I had to revert to the component connection. The HDMI output of my Sony DVDP works on all HDMI inputs just fine.Curious ... 
New Oppo DV-980H or used Denon DVD-2910?
I have the 980 and couldn't be happier. These units are a steal with what they do at their price range IMO. You can order one for an in-home trial and if your not satisfied you can return it and only be out of your shipping cost, which isn't allot... 
Tube amp location
Thanks to everyone for your responses and sorry for the delayed follow-up. Step mom died so I was out of town for awhile.You guys reinforced what I thought, but just wanted to hear from some tube guys.Some asked why tubes? I like the sound of tube... 
New Processors passing HD Sound?
Integra and Onkyo are the only ones I know of right now and good luck getting one any time soon. I was waiting for the Integra, but it's been on back log for some time and I can't get my hands on one for at least a few more months.I wanted HDMI-1.... 
Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice
Used Onix SP-3 ~ $450-500, new Oppo HD980 $169 + shipping and you have money left over. Don't let the power ratings mislead, this tube amp will easily fit your needs and this combo is killer. I'm using this combo in a 2nd room with a pair of Zu Dr... 
Rega Saturn and Apollo-How good are they??
I auditioned the Apollo against the Naim CD-5i back when they first came out and went with the Naim. As I recall, the Naim was also $600-700 more though.Both were good in different ways. I found the Apollo to be polite in comparison and the Naim h... 
Which HT reveiver to replace Nak av-10?
Mtrot, I would describe the sound as fairly nuetral and detailed. Not bright, but not really warm either. Good soundstage. In my HT system I use Klipsch Cornwall III's which are unmerciful with bright equipment and they're very listenable and non ... 
Which HT reveiver to replace Nak av-10?
I highly recommend you audition the new Integra DTR-7.8. It retails for $1300, but our local dealer gives 20% off and I'm sure you can easily find one at this price.The Audyssey EQ system is fantastic for movies, it's as future proof as you can ge...

Best budget CDP?
Reubent, you get your modded Oppo installed yet. I'm tickled pink with my stock 980 and am seriously considering getting the mod's.Please share your thoughts when you have time. 
Modify Oppo 980 or add External DAC?
My 980 is incredible right out of the box with no mods. A modded unit is probably in my future as well. I didn't belive the hype about these units and bought one as a gap filler only to discover it exceeded all expectations. 
Crossover-less Speakers
I'm with Macrojack on this one. I couldn't start to list all the speakers I've been through over the past 30 years, but Zu's are something special; especially with tubes. 
Naim Nait 5i with Tetra 120u's
Have you compared the Rega Apollo to the Oppo? I've not heard the 970, but I recently bought the 980H and am still in shock.Although I've not heard the Apollo, I used to own a Planet 2000 and IMO the Oppo is better. Going from memory mind you, but...
