| 6922 tube selection Are you saying that tubes purchased from Vintage Tube Services (Andy), Brent Jessee, or Kevin Deal (Upscale) that are listed as NOS are used? The first two may carry tubes that have been used but will always say so and will tell you whether they t... | |
| 6922 tube selection I agree with Marco1 regarding the Siemens made/Telefunken branded 7DJ8/PCC88 at Upscale. Admittedly more expensive than what you're looking at but when I used them in my Premier 16LS2 and Premier 140 they were about as good as you could get withou... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited I have the c-j CA200 which is a half-version 350 minus the Teflon caps in the Premier 18LS casework so I'm not really sure how well this applies. That having been said out of the power cords and cables I've tried (and there've been many) my favori... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Another possibility would be the conrad-johnson CA200. I own one so therefore I'm prejudiced but it did replace some more costly separates (also conrad-johnson) and I've been very pleased. There are a few available now on Audiogon within your budg... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? You're welcome, Ptss. What confused me after getting and hearing the 105D was a number of reviews that reported a sound basically the same as the 95 albeit with a good deal of added functionality.The nice part of buying directly from Oppo is their... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? Yep, did so this past February after having owned a 95 for almost three years. Wanted the Darbee processing and the improvements (heavier, more solid casework, no fan, better toroidal power supply, etc.) that the 105D offers.Let me begin by saying... | |
| is oppo only bluray w/ hdmi in, stereo analog out? You're welcome. I never really noticed any harshness when playing the sound directly from the cable box. Could be my tired old ears aren't capable of hearing it. Sorry couldn't be any help on this point. What I have discovered, though, is that I p... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Chrissain,Except for Oyaide. They use it in both their R-1 and M-1 series. | |
| is oppo only bluray w/ hdmi in, stereo analog out? Yes, on both. Keep in mind this is the 105D that I have with the Darbee video processing. If you do get the Oppo 103D/105D you should check the output settings of the Comcast cable box to make sure you're allowing it to pass through the video port... | |
| is oppo only bluray w/ hdmi in, stereo analog out? I have a Comcast cable box going into the 105D without any issues. Although I don't have an Xbox360 I'm not aware of any issues using them in concert with Oppos. Yep, no Amazon streaming but there is Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, Youtube, Rhapsody, Cine... | |
| is oppo only bluray w/ hdmi in, stereo analog out? I own the Oppo 105D and very satisfied with it. That having been said, you might want to consider the Cambridge 752BD which does have much of the same features of the Oppo machines, including two HDMI inputs/outputs. It does not, however, have the... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Russe41,Before speaking about wasting money, may I ask you a question, please? Ever tried after-market fuses in your system or have you just dismissed them out of hand?The only person you're doing a disservice to is yourself. | |
| Are WA-Quantum Chips even sold anymore? Tbg,Acoustic Revive still has them listed on their web site: http://www.acoustic-revive.com/english/qr8/qr8_01.htmlI've always purchased them from Japanese sellers online and with their North American distributor gone, there aren't too many other ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed :) | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Al & Geoff,My intention wasn't to stir a pot that's already messy. The review thread I quoted from may have been less than rigorous in terms of design and the question of replication is ambiguous.If the reader wishes, I recommend going through... |
