| Have digital players improved Simple answer is yes! | |
| Oppo 83 SE having trouble with cd mat on blu-ray If you didn't take heed to the last two post, chime in when you have to get it out of the player while saying to yourself "I should have listened"! Trust me on this one. | |
| xa5400es, emm labs, Meridian for classical piano. Take a listen to the Oppo 95, its worth the listen and may prove itself to be all you need, seriously! | |
| $2500 amp question Parasound Halo A21 should get the job done nicely! | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display I'll say the best picture quality goes to dlp, very cinema like indeed! I love my 73738, I saw the Elite's and while nice I still favor the Dlp as my display of choice! | |
| How can you tell the quality of the recording? As in all cases its the mastering job of the recording, there are good recordings from the 80's and 90's not many but good examples are Donald Fagen's the Night Fly and Dire Straits Money for Nothing, One more thing to consider as cd has reached a... | |
| Best Amp for Parasound JC2 They do come up here on Audiogon for around $1300 to 1700, New there around 2100 to 2300. Yeah the A21 and JC 1's are the only two recommended and touched by Curl. | |
| Best Amp for Parasound JC2 The JC1 and A21 are designed by John curl and is a beautiful sounding amp! John also recommends silver fuses! I put a HiFi tunning Silver Star in my A21( on the main fuse line) and it took a nice performance leap into a new category. The XLR input... | |
| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD The 93 or 95, does have the better video dac! As for sound I think you would be splitting hairs between the Oppo's and the Pioneer via hdmi. Others may be able to comment on the differences on the sound ! | |
| Reference HI Res material I recently got to hear my first Hi rez download via a usb stick on my Oppo 95, I tried a few free samples from 2L and HD Tracks which led me to my first purchase! Needless to say I wasn't prepared for what I heard. The recording was Reference Reco... | |
| oppo 95 or marantz sa8004? Get the Oppo 95 use the analog outs, and enjoy the music! | |
| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD I can't speak for the 05 ,but I did have the 51fd same model but not elite . I went for the Oppo 95 (I'm an analog out user) and as far as reliability and sheer musical bliss are concerned, the Oppos shine. I loved the 51fd while I had it ,but rel... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? The only convincing one should need is to consider the difference better shielded cables have made. The dedicated line is a no brainier ( 20 amp 10 or 12 awg), as it further isolates your gear from the rest of the house and gets everything (power ... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Sure the Powercord from the wall makes a difference be it small or huge, it makes a difference! Age old rule Ladies and Gentlemen " Good sound in Good sound out" and yes that applies to powercords as well. | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners To avoid this of which you speak, I choose to use a PsAudio Soloist Premier se in-wall conditioner on a 10awg, 20 amp line to feed my Halo A21 alone! (Although the Soloist can be used before a conditioner) I run a 8awg Perfectwave AC12 to the amp.... |
