Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95
My 95 is on a Vibraplane, and I'm using Elrod Power System cables. Remember too: My Denon is very heavily modified. As for stridency: I think the lack of "meat" is what causes me to experience the sound that way. 
Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95
Strangely, my experience (after about 450 hours on the 95) is similar to that of Dopogue. I wouldn't use the term "recessed", but I am unimpressed. What I hear is a lack of "meat" on the bones...a lack of density of tone and image. The 95 also sou... 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
I know nothing about the physics. I have, however, compared two identical components, the only difference being that one was new and the other had several hundred hours on it. The one with more time sounded better. I have done this with cables as ...

Oppo 95: Sound compromised w/var. audio output?

Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
Does anyone know if using the variable audio output control - turning down the 95s output - degrades the sound. This has certainly been the case in the past with CD players. I thought I'd read somewhere that this was not the case with the 95, howe...

Thanks, everyone. I'm surprised no one knows how long the 95 takes to burn-in. 
POWER CORD FOR LAMM L2 REFERENCE PRE AMP ?
If I were you, I would definitely at least consider the current Elrod Power Systems cords. They are amazing, in my experience. 
Best CD player under $5K?
I would be surprised if the answer to this question isn't "a modified Oppo 95 or Sony 5400".

It's interesting to me that we're having a conversation about Neil Young not being in the conversation. 
Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods?
Good questions, Tomcy6. I'd also want to know how long people listened, whether they took breaks, whether the units were warmed up equally, etc. FWIW, I don't compare components over what I'm assuming was a relatively short period of time, however...
