| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Thanks, Dougdeacon I will try this. | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? Ben, I agree with you in most cases the sacd version is a little rolled off in comparison to the redbook. People may feel this is warmer and closer to analog, but I don't agree. It should give you more resolution and dynamics. I think the best for... | |
| Diamond drivers I heard all the Raidho speakers at CES 2013 and was not impressed. It is a favorite of Valen's which means hifi sounding and it sure is. | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Dougdeacon, I just got the same ZYX mark 2 like you. How many hours did it take to open up the sound of this cartridge? I am at 1.85 grams and find right now that my VTA is much higher than parallel to sound good. I have owned other ZYX and they t... | |

| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 The bass is more powerful and musical | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 The Modright Oppo 105 blows the doors off the Modright Oppo 95. I only have 30 hours on the player and if it did not break in any more I would be pleased like a pig in mud. This player is way more organic in the mids, much quieter, more dynamic, a... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 I'll let you know as my modwright oppo 105 is coming tomorrow. I also had the modwright sony and still have the modwright oppo 95. I also added the Bybee rails to the new Oppo. | |
| Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105... No fan to make noise. | |
| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts So you could imagine how good an OLED 4K would look. | |
| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts I agree they still did not beat the Kuro, but I think the OLED 4K eventually will. We will see. |
