Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
I went a couple of rounds with vibration control I tried BD #3 cones with and without there new carbon fiber disc and also Herbies tender feet, in the end I found better results with the stock feet and an upgraded VTI rack asymmetrically filled wi...

It sure will compete with the upper end, in fact it is the upper end!dedicated or not. 
Whats more important, source cables or amp cables?
Yep! use the advice above. 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Sure! and with detailed notes, out of the box the 95 is listenable but restrictive, It takes 50-60 hrs to lose the restrictive out the box sound and hints at its spacious nature, many have described this to be a warm sound but this is a premature ...

Nice trick is to use the Pure Audio mode as this defeats the video outs and viola 85% less fan in my experience, But I never hear it anyway unless right on top of it changing a disc! 
2 channel sound in a blu ray player
Get the Oppo 95! you got a 30 day trail period. this thing is the reference in all it does! 
What high-end multichannel SACD players are there?
If room correction is your primary focus with your sacd playback then the Oppo 93 is a safe bet with your Anthem, having said that, if the best of both worlds and SOTA player is what your after( ESS Sabre Dac's are at the top of the pile) , then t... 
Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT?
UHh ! Oh! my 95 has been powered up for just about a year now!. There will be a difference via 2 channel playback since you enabled the FL/FR option, no matter the source movies,usb, sacd, redbook ect.. there is an updated maual of the new feature... 
Your jaw dropping cables
Morrow Audio's MA3 Xlr and Sp3 biwire took my sessions to a whole new level of playback, also latter adding a Ps Audio Perfectwave cables to my gear was nice! really nice when I dropped the AC12 on my Halo A21 it was like two Coy fish in a pond! 
Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT?
Hi! did you set the FL/FR option( instead of down mix) out put in the Audio setup to take advantage of the Quad dac's (each stereo channel) for 2 channel playback ? You can use this for the dedicated rca stereo outs as well as the xlr's, also new ... 
EVS modded Oppo 95
Hmm! interesting! I've had my 95 since March of 2011( first batch) and the method of burn in I used was 24/7 of actual play time not idle, I gave the unit 30 min of rest between the playing of a Dts test disc with various tones. I did this with gr... 
EVS modded Oppo 95
My stock 95 needed upwards of 500 hrs to burn-in, at around 125hrs it did fill out across the frequency spectrum with nice bass, beyond 125hrs I became amazed at the transformation the sound took on. Only mod's for me on this one may be upgraded f... 
Oppo options
I was in the same boat, I got the Oppo 95 and couldn't be happier! 
Nordost RedDawn vs. Audioquest King Cobra XLR's??
Hi,I own AQ's King Cobra's and Columbia rca and xlr and still love them very much, having said that I find the Morrow Audio's MA3 xlr a more warm and detailed cable than both. It has an overall tonal balance I would expect to find as I move up a c... 
Movies/TV Shows Look like Video
Sorry to say but its not the bluray format or Hdtv shows that does this to the look of the picture. It's a feature in the newer tv's ( turn it off!) and is very unnatural to the original source and is the very reason recently when my Pioneer Elite...
