| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? I think you're getting more current to the machine with the upgraded power cord than with the generic 16AWG stock. Thus, results in improved performance due to improved current flow. Whether or not additional upgrade to even better cord can bring ... | |
| Valab NOS Dac VS. Cambridge Azur DacMagic Interesting read so far. FWIW, I prefer the Valab (after 300+hrs of burn in) in my digital amp based set up over the Bel Canto DAC3 for sheer musicality and emotion. Mine is currently the early 2009 iteration. Not sure if yours is of the current o... | |
| Best Blu-Ray ANALOG Output - Under $1000? Jimmy,The below is from Enjoythemusic.com's reviewer, Dr. Bill Gaw. This is the first of the Oppo reviews I've seen which references a hi-end player and contradicts your statement:"The 7.1 analog outputs on my still not completely broken in unit i... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? For digital, I auditioned the PS Audio HCA2 and bought and used the BC Ref 1K for over 6months. Both of these amps were good and offered smooth, clean & clear sound but the soundstage were very shallow and does not give good spacial/locational... | |

| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Ozzy,Thanks for the quick comparo between the Oppo BD 83 and your Denon. Curious how much break-in time you've given the Oppo. If you can do an update once properly broken-in, it would really be appreciated.Thanks in advance,Kenobi | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they? Bizargo,The Nuforce 9SE you mentioned above, was it a V1 or V2 iteration?Thanks,Kenobi | |
| VTL MB250 sig or Nuforce Ref9 SE I have the same speakers being pushed by Nuforce MCH3SE C-7 amp and there's good synergy going on w/o brightness if your upstream equipment or cablings/vibration isolation is also neutral of slightly warmish. I once had the BC Ref 1K for a time bu... | |

| $5000 universal player ... am I a fool ? Hi Timtim,Thanks for this post. I was looking for this kind of confirmation going with an RT-20 I just acquired for cheap. Thanks for sharing your views and experience. I am now content with the purchase and will likely consider the Oppo bluray sh... | |
| Good, non-jewelery connector for TeslaPlex outlet? One word of caution with the Teslaplex, I wouldn't use it on bright sounding electronics. It may be too much of a good thing and can tip the balance to harshness in my experience. That said, I do use a combination of outlets--Wattgate, Furutech, O... |
