| Acrylic platter It goes around and around. The original VPI platter was aluminum. Then when it was changed to acrylic, with lead insert like the aluminum one, all the critics approved. Now VPI is back to aluminum on most of their tables, without lead I think. Why... | |
| Tired of bootleg I can't find the country of manufacture on the Nordost site. Does anyone know? Are Nordost cables made in China? | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? I used the LoRad to replace Volex 17604 (some self terminated) that I had been using for many years. First on my Oppo (did a listening test) then on my 200 W/Ch amp (13 AWG is plenty sufficient - the LoRad easily beat the 7 AWG Pangea) and also di... | |
| New VPI anti-static mat for Classic Platter I must say that as a long time VPI user (and I mean a VERY long time) I am even more confused than ever about VPI's return to an aluminum platter. The original VPI turntable came with an aluminum platter with a lead insert to make it heavier and s... | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion P59teitel, I really have no dog in this fight, but that I prefer a company that has a marketing plan that includes me, to wit, price competitively and sell a lot of units.. First, when we speak about modern reviews, no one gets a bad review these ... | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion Not a comment, but rather a question. Why can you not believe that the $1200 Oppo can sound better than the $3500 Ayre? Does price rule all? Reviews of the Ayre were middling. TAS review of the Oppo was a rave. But don't expect a full review of th... | |
| Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter? B_limo, How long did it take for the ac9 to "be just right"? | |
| Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter? B_limo, Can you tell us please how long it took for the ac9 to be "just right"? Thanks. | |

| Power Cord up to $100? Here's my report on the Pangea AC-9 referred to above. I've always been a power cord skeptic, and am now surprised at how they can differ.Many years ago I replaced all my IEC cords with Volex 17604 which was highly respected and cheap. I wasn't mu... | |
| oppo 105 vs 103 I would answer this way. Oppo is a very respectable company that, mostly through direct sales, operates on a relatively small retail mark-up. Given that and the fact that as they go from a 103 to a 105 they ditch the 103 analog board, I would gues... | |
| Power Cord up to $100? I'm now trying out a 3 meter Pangea AC9 which is replacing a Volex that I terminated myself. I've had it on for about a week on a Sim Audio amp that I leave on most of the time. So far it's a disappointment in that it has tipped the audio up to th... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright Combine the Absolute Sound review of the stock 105 with the 6 Moons review of the mod and you'll likely have an accurate picture. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/oppo-bdp-105-universal-blu-ray-player-and-dac/ | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Gztone, Sounds like it's working well for yo as it is for me. I'd be interested to know if you have tried an after-market power cord on the Oppo. | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications To say that Jfz "couldn't stand" the Oppo 95 in his system is certainly to go against the grain of virtually all press reviews, sophisticated audiophile reviews and virtually everything else written about the product. The Oppo 105 is said to sound... |
