| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? I bought my OPPO 95 two years ago to use exclusively in a headphone system i was setting up. I selected it on-line without audition because it could play SACDs. I already owned a Blue-ray player from Denon that cost twice as much as the OPPO and h... | |
| grills or no grills on your speakers..matters? If your system has been set up to a threshold level of accuracy and retail resolution, then removal of the grills will definitely improve things enough that you will want to take them off. I am still using a pair of Snell B Type full-range 5-sided... | |
| Meridian G95 Class D amp with my Revel M22s? If you are anywhere near Texas, you should consider contacting Dennis Deacon at D-Sonic. Besides designing and manufacturing D-Sonic aps, he is also a Revel distributor. I wouldn't be at all surprised if revel speakers do not play a key role in th... | |
| Center channel Pierre over at Mapleshade really nailed it with his solution of using a maple/brass/elastomer sandwich under every component possible in both recording and playback. I recntly went through a period where I installed individual maple platforms unde... | |
| Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII I am guessing that you are drawn to the DR-6 in any incarnation, but you have a chance to get a deal on a particular one as we speak, and are asking for a little insight as to whether or not it is a good risk. With that in mind, I admit to quite a... | |
| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? +1 Bill_k. I have been using the EP cleaner for about a year and a half. My records love it. It took quite a few uses before my nerves broke in and my comfort factor while using it increased to the point where it became pretty natural. I now am so... | |
| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? If you keep the VPI or decide to find one of your own, they really like a solid platform to sit on. I thought my Scoutmaster was solidly supported on its own VPI 4" tube-steel and steel bar stand loaded up with 100# of lead shot and kitty litter. ... | |
| Class D and Power Cables My experience with the d-Sonic amps I bought early this year is that they are the most grateful equipment I have yet encountered. Nearly everything i did to or for them paid out in improvements in sound. They improved substantially when given bett... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Now that i am approaching a full year with these amps, I have to say that they are extremely responsive to improvements in their own setup as well as upstream in the system. I thought they were really good when I first got them, but they continue ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? njs, how are you supporting your new amp? I discovered a few months after buying my M2-600 monos that they really respond well to fundamental audiophile setup tweaks more so than any other components I have heard to date. I currently have mine on ... | |
| Can a Pioneer SC-25 reciever be used as a pwr amp Absolutely. This receiver is almost identical to the SC-27 I have been using for 3 years. It has a set of 7.1 inputs called "multi-channel in" as seen on page 20, box 19 of the manual on-line from Pioneers's US website. After plugging everything i... | |
| Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do. I'm going to put it to the test (as a test disc) again on Monday night, as my HT system is getting an upgrade. UPS is bringing the last two maple platforms I ordered from dawnsplatforms on ebay. I have made major improvements to my 2-channel syste... | |
| Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do. Master and Commander is the best I've heard to date to show how good (or bad) any system is performing. I think this is because so many of the sounds are so familiar to us all, especially the weather sound f/x. For an old audiophile who has tested... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I have been meaning to put up another chapter in my continuing evaluation of the M2-600 D-Sonic mono amps I put into play back in January. While originally a long-shot purchase after the sudden death of a well-loved pair of Atma-Sphere early 90's ... | |
| Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p? I think the real driver for the higher resolution rollout timeline will be the way the US government drags its feet when implementing new broadcast standards. I clearly recall reading about high-definition TV capabilities being rolled out all over... |
