| 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... | |
| 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... | |
