| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Does Modwright publish distortion data for its mods?In its review of the Oppo 105 Audioholics writes:"The balanced analog outputs were just stunningly excellent (.001% THD + N) measuring almost down to the noise floor of my test gear and this was ... | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Jfz, I'm not clear about what you are unclear about.Srjan says the Modwright version is "Slightly soft on leading edges, image outlines and bass control. Dense. Generous. Relaxed. Midrange-y and even mildly bassy, i.e. very extended in the bass if... | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications My reading of the recent 6moons review of the mod is that it changes the sound, but not clearly for the better. In fact, perhaps the opposite.See third from last paragraph of the review beginning" What the modified Oppo 105 isn't:". | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion Also, the Sony and Oppo 95 are compared directly at: http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-50-page-2-0 | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion I find it to be sensational. It replaced a very fine Lavry fed by a good Panasonic CD player. Soundstages beautifully and with the right material extends easily past the speakers. Great sense of depth. Terrific dynamics and strong and detailed bas... | |
| 300 RPM motor on the VPI HW-19? The 300 RPM motor is the same size as the 600 RPM motor. But you need a larger pulley wheel. Whether there is room for that I can't tell you, but there probably is. VPI will sell you one.To use only the SDS to get the right platter speed without c... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? Yes, that's it. The reason the "kit" includes new stainless steel cups is that they are sized to make everything come out at just the right height. But they are the most expensive part of the kit. If Mike will sell you just the plastic gear below ... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? I'm talking TNT. I'm talking about something I've already done. Go to http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HW-A1216There you will see what I am talking about. However they want to sell you new "cups" at the 4 corners of the TNT. But all ... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? Ask Mike about the squash ball suspension for your table. It's really the very best solution. If you're handy Mike will sell you the parts so you can continue to use the four cups you already have. Then it's not a very expensive proposition. | |
| Planning for a possible face-off of DACs/CDPs Lavry Black and any cable. Do a search. The reclocking is so effective the cable to the unit doesn't really matter. | |
| JSE infinite slope Lanchile,I was a relatively early purchaser of the JSE 2 and became friendly with the designer who updated it to what was known as the JSE 2a for me. I did a lot of research at the time and the JSE 1 preceded the JSE 2. The JSE 2 was a five speake... | |
| JSE infinite slope KennyT,Sorry, but you're the one who's not close. The speakers operate EXACTLY as I describe. They are 2 way, not 2 1/2 way. The operation of the 2 woofers was a second development of Richard Modafferi used in the speaker (after the "infinite slop... | |
| JSE infinite slope Your JSE 1 is not a three-way; it's a two-way. The bottom two speakers are both woofers. There is only one cross-over. The smaller woofer runs slightly out of phase at its upper frequencies to prevent the usual bump in the bass output. At lower fr... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Anthony,You're way off base. I have changed, improved and altered enough power supplies in my time to recognize when there's a problem that needs it to be made better. You may or may not believe it, but the Lavry DA-10 doesn't need help in that re... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 Consider a Lavry DA-10. It's a relatively new DAC. Do some research. |
