| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 To each his own. | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 I for one don't want to waste my time watching downloaded movie over a good copy of blu ray. Same reason I don't listen to MP3 over a good CD or SACD for mere convenience. Each proponent has their reasons, mine is quality over qty and convenience.... | |
| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Plus upgraded Amplifier Wow Jim, you should be writing novels now. That's a very thorough analysis of the amp in your set up. You should be a paid reviewer. Great job!Thanks,Kenobi | |
| DVD player upgrade...... Hi Bacardi,Without first hand experience but based on what I have gathered, the Pioneer BDP 09 should be a step up from the Oppo unit and rightfully so for the price. If you can get one for a nice price, more power to you. There's currently a new ... | |
| DVD player upgrade...... I would recommend you look into the Oppo BDP 83. There are a ton of reviews on the web. I am surprised that no one has mentioned this yet. Its probably the best DVD player (superb upconversion) for the price. Yet, it is also a bluray/SACD/DVD-A pl... | |
| Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83 Tennisamp,How much was required in mod for the Oppo to beat your Ayre C5xe?Thanks,Kenobi | |
| Recommend good isolation Thank you, Samhar. I already have some of these. Again, its system dependent if the addition of any footer will synergize with a particular system due to preference and system's current bent.Regards,Kenobi | |
| SDS Power cord If you don't want to spend a lot of dough, the Iego PCs available here on Agon is much better than the low price indicates. Read up on it and find out. I have a handful of their cables in my system and found them to be well worth the investment.Ke... | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II KnghifiASI Livelines are the best interconnects I've tried as well and have been a mainstay. Have not gotten around to trying it as a digital cable however but should be interesting.Please chime in regardign their speaker cables once you have some... | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II I had the Stereovox XV2 in my system for a while but I sold it and preferred the Acoustic Zen MC2 instead. Better extension from top to bottom. Would not work with a bright system in my experience however. It is lively and sparkling from top to bo... | |
| Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2 I am driving my MCH3-SE C7 with Nuforce's P9 to great effect. Gives more pristine top end, rhythm and pacing than others I have tried. Superb bass and clean and honest midrange w/o smearing. I would not recommend this for an overly bright system b... | |
| Valab NOS Dac VS. Cambridge Azur DacMagic Rooski,That explains it. The top end roll off wouldn't compliment the Valab for sure. I have silver cables from Valab to pre and I think it better serves the top end. In the end, musical satisfaction is in the ear of the beholder.Regards,Kenobi | |
| Blu Ray Player My vote is for the Oppo BDP-83. Superb universal player and impeccable service from the company. Then your next step would be the TV itself.Kenobi | |
| Valab NOS Dac VS. Cambridge Azur DacMagic Rooski,Having had the Onix XCD-88 for a while (few years), it mostly acted as a transport as I found the internal DAC lacking. Not sure what kind of digital cable you have going from transport to DAC, but quality there makes a huge difference (Aco... | |
| Recommend good isolation Samhar,Can you give a link to ebay for the Sorbagel. I looked but couldn't find.Thanks,Kenobi |
