| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Knownothing, I could not disagree with you more. The minute, and I mean the absolute minute, that movie studios start releasing all movies to digital downloade the same day that they release the DVD/BluRay you can start selling Blockbuster and Hol... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 OK, after re-reading this thread, and many hilarous (maybe not intentionally) responses about how if you are a peasant with less than a $10k processor or $20k projector of course there is no difference between BluRay, yada, yada, yada....I think m... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? OK, I'm back on track now: amp power is completely speaker dependant. I have Maggies, and like lots of tordial power from Parasound, Bryston, and currently Cary (there are others). I have not really liked the digital amps I have tried, with the no... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? Hey I was going to answer this thread with some esoteric audio-crap opinion, but now I have forgotten what the thread was about. So, what are we talking about again?? | |
| speaker wiring for h/t and stereo simpler to just have a preamp with HT passthrough, most of the good ones have it. | |
| Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio I've had very nice digital set up, many different DAC's and disc players/transports and my moderate vinyl setups just blew them away. Deeper, more detailed, and fuller sound.Then again, it could be just preference, and something that just sounds n... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? OK, my Caddie got wrecked a few months back so I bought a different daily driver. So besides the modded out Mustang I am driving an '09 Ford Edge to and from work. I wanted to buy another domestic car so I went with this Dad-mobile. Comfy, good ga... | |

| Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100? i like the Klipsch suggestion above, and would also add Definitive Technology SC7000's as well. They rock hard, have built in subs, don't need too much power due to the powered built in subs. Both are great choices. | |

| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 Never heard the Shindo, but I have the same Cary as you, and it's the best preamp I have ever owned. | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Tvad, that is good news. The chasis is so much bigger than the other Oppo's they should be able to do whatever they want. Then when they stop making BluRay discs a few years from now, the player will still be relevant for me. | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 The fact that many of you are saying that I am not close enough to a 52" 1080p LCD TV to see the difference speaks volumes. It's not a 32" display that I am 20' from, it's a 52" display that I am 8 - 12' from depending on where I sit. It just veri... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Acutally, isn't the "standard" viewing distance per CEDIA, 3 times the diagonal? Since my display is 52" that's a distance of 13 feet and my main viewing area is actually in front of that. Also, part of the reason, after much research, I bought th... |
