| What does oppo stand for? Yes thanks, that seemed to help, but still intermittent problems. Maybe I could replace the laser? Strangely intermittent problem. | |
| What does oppo stand for? Ah, the 970 was mentioned in my absence.I own two of them now, one having intermittent problems playing some cds but neither having any problems playing usb flash drives nor micro sd cards. The 970 also uses HDMI if needed, plays dvds but not blur... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts jperry1,344 posts01-01-2019 9:13amI think you should not buy a turntable and sell the few records you own.Posts like this is why this is a pretty lousy forum and why audiophiles come off as dorks. | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps reb1208518 posts09-05-2011 8:25amno, just play your music and ignore the woofer movementThis.The physical action of the stylus on the moving vinyl cause this less-than 18 Hz movement of the woofers.If you cannot handle it, filter it or crank up yo... | |
| Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy??? I've got a pair of Marantz Imperial 7s driven by my Kenwood L09ms and using a Marantz 2275 as a preamp and an oppo 95 for a source and it's audio nirvana.My friend gave me a set of Realistic speakers and they sound like ass, but I'd like to give t... | |
| What does oppo stand for? Since I've last posted in here, I've aquired the 105. Audio bliss. Plays my m4a files too.I got a used (of course) 980. The oppo 980 will have you throwing rocks at your 981. Great player for dvds and down. Great for just plain d cds, but wil... | |
| Bad NOS tubes... I agree with the op.I bought a refurbished set of Mark iiis that came with nice new Tung Sol 6550s and I had bought a nice old Pas 2 from Gold Sound on South Broadway in Denver (Englewood technically ), and it sounded really nice.I got some nice n... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I'm pretty new to this audiophile "listening session" stuff and am trying to get other folks to come listen to my various audio systems about my home.At work, there's at least four of us who are heavy into it. I've had two of the three guys to my... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist Female audiophiles do exist.They listen to Rush. | |
| What does oppo stand for? Thanks for relating your OPPO experience. What kind of dac do you use with yours? I think my bro uses a geek pulse. | |
| What does oppo stand for? Oh, so it's a last name. If the wife knew this, she may show more respect. Now that I have four of them, only two which she knows about, I need to be careful. Just the other day, she gave me another theory as to what OPPO stands for. Evidently... | |
| Oppo 103 freezing......... My oppo 103d is having a problem with only certain tracts on my 1T seagate which I have connected to one of the rear usb ports. If I jump past these specific tracts (two that I’ve identified so far), the thing doesn’t freeze up. The music on my hd... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Phoebe Snow.First mention of it that I've noticed...austinbob107 posts02-10-2016 9:19amCassandra Wilson and Phoebe Snow. | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR When I mentioned replacement of all the 12ax7s with good nos, I forgot to mention that I was referring to my pas2. Nothing has brought my 60wpc Mark iiis to life like a nice Dynaco preamp. Running some pretty efficient speakers and the addition... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR Old thread, wish I could go back 13 years to chat with the op.I'd recommend replacing or trading the 70s for a pair of Dynaco Mark IIIs, replace all the 12ax7s with nos eico's, and replace the output tubes with nos Svetlana 6550s made from St. Pe... |
