| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? The sound staging is was what got me as well! after lots of comparison with my previous frontend setup, I found it difficult to go back. It had just the right amount of leading edge without sacrificing width, height and depth. The 95 is sensitive ... | |
| SameSspeaker Cable and Interconnects I have to admit my system is more synergistic having a loom of Power cords ( all Ps audio AC3-AC12) speaker(Morrow/sp3 and Ma3 xlr to amp) I do however have a set of AQ's Columbia xlr's from source to preamp. All in all best its been! | |
| Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95 Hi Jfz, are you using balanced outs or rca?Something else worth trying, is to set the Oppos trims to there default of "0" with the volume at 100 and use the gain in your preamp from there! | |
| Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95 No chance!on the 83se and sorry Jfz the 95 is not doing it for you! although I find it a bit curious as my 95 replaced a stock Denon 5900 which had what I like to call That big full Denon sound" I found the 95 did not to give up anything in terms ... | |
| Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95 Dopogue, I speak only to the merits of the 95, as I never owned an Oppo product prior to it. Not sure why it took the 95 so long to settle but this is what it took in my setup.I only posted to give some insight on what I found over the course 500 ... | |
| Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95 30 hrs! You did yourself a disservice by forming an opinion on out of the box performance! I as well as many others have found the recessed sound to go away with no less than 50-75 hrs of playback and full burn in around 500 hrs and up. You might ... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Yeah the Caig can be oily, I use a separate cloth( some use alcohol) to remove any excess I find that after a week or two the sound character of the Caig wears off and all cables settle back in! | |

| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Something I forgot you guys may find important! upon removing the plastic caps from the rca connectors on the 95 there is more than a small amount of residue left over. I used Caig pro gold and polished them to a shine, you wont believe the differ... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Aftermarket powercord is ground zero, it all starts at the wall in my book. My initial run with 95 was with a Ps audio AC3 (12awg) I had fantastic results with this low cost entry level cable and I cant recommend it enough! with that being said I ... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Nice gear!, I use the 2 channel balanced and the 5.1 rca ( using the rca stereo outs with the player set with the FL/FR option) outputs to an Anthem avm20v2 in the analog direct mode for both. I still find the rca's seductive until you hear the xl... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan And there you have your answer! you automatically assume a speaker breaks in because you see the drivers moving,I'm almost certain the atoms compressed together at the subatomic level are not just sitting still(but can you see them) we humans trus... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan I personal have not directly compared the 95 to any Hi end players save the units I had over the years Sony's, Phillips, Denon 5900 and Pioneer and many others ,but many have done direct comparisons against universal and stand alone units. I have ... | |
