| Oppo protection plan ?? Oppo takes overbuilt to a new level for the price. I know of no other product in its class that can compete in this regard as well as so many other catagories inside one box. I would not purchase it, $135 you can put toward some great cables!! You... | |
| power conditioner Ive owned a McIntosh MC352 for 10 years and I would never think of coloring the amp and robbing the life and dynamics out of it with a $#@^& power conditioner of any kind regardless of cost! These amps are built like battle ships for a reason,... | |
| hooked up TT and preamp to receiver sound fades out after 4-5 seconds Exactly! noromance is correct, once you purchased a external phono pre amp you need to use one of the normal line level inputs like...CD or AUX or Tuner or just about any input will work as long as its not the internal phono. | |

| Anyone With A Class 'D' Amp Play A 4 or 2 Ohm Speaker? Can you say RUNNING TOO HOT! It may seem like a good idea but in the end the amp will run too hot and if played this way overtime will burn up. Infinity speakers are known for tearing up amps that are incapable of dealing with the impedance swings... | |

| Adcom? Like a lot of audio companys some products they put out are un inspiring at best. But ADCOM made the GFA 555 and it is one of the best "bang for the buck" 2 channel amps out there, even today used! ADCOM's GFP 565 pre amp is another great sounding... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? Helicopters and Explosions are easy! Music is not. Matt M | |

| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord I was wrong his name is Frank not Dave. LOL. | |
| Which should I choose? The Oppo still uses a Hi-End signal path for Analog output when using the standard rca’s so it dosent matter (nice to have XLR for future upgrades maybe) I had a Esoteric S60 in my listening room for a little while and it was horrible to listen to... | |
| Maybe tube preamp Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp.... warm and punchy with great low end and sweetly articulate with amazing mid range that is very liquid indeed, big sound stage and terrific detail with great rise and decay, beautiful tone and very palpable presentation.... | |
| Looking to upgrade from NHT 2.0 Speakers Hey, The Totem Model One Signature is the speaker to buy in the $1500 used range...AND the Emotiva will drive them no problem, spend the extra 1,000 or less and find a nice pre owned pair. New they sell for around $2000. This Model One speaker has... | |
