| Local Cinema black level quality vs home Projector Black levels (absolute contrast ratio) is one of the important criteria I use when selecting video equipment. This is why my plasma TV is a Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-141FD (as good as they get IMHO) and my projector is a Sony VPL-VW85. Looking just a... | |
| Oppo BD 105, stand alone DAC, or music streamer I use an Oppo 105 as a DAC in my stereo and HT system. Stereo is mainly via computer audio through a MacBook Air running Aurdirvana Plus and 24/96 HDTrack files via USB into the Oppo. From the Oppo to a Krell HTS 7.1 (Analog, with the Krell just a... | |
| Best Hi-Res Audiophile Downloads Top 3 This is a good post, I will be interested to hear what other people have to say. Unfortunately, my own high res download collection is relatively small at present, so I don't really have a top 3. However, my favorite so far is the HDTracks 24/96 v... | |
| Remarkable New Vintage Audio Store in Austin, TX I know where I am heading the next time I go to Austin. Thanks for the heads-up Butterking. | |
| Need HDMI Cable Recommendations ? Agree with the previous post, Blue Jeans Cables make excellent, sensibly priced products. I use their HDMI, XLR and speakers cables; all are excellent. | |

| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 How about an Oppo 105? Also includes a superb USB DAC and plays blu-ray disc just about better than anything else on the market (according to various reviews and my own experience that is). | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra The MFSL CD of "Songs For Swingin Lovers" is truly amazing from a music and recoding perspective. I can't believe the original recording was made 58 years ago! The MFSL remasters version still sounds incredible to my ears. | |
| Has price of used 802N's shot up? There has been a lot of praise for the N802 speakers over the years, the Diamond series are not necessarily a big improvement over the regular Nautilus series. I believe these two factors are making the N802 speakers worth having, even at a premiu... | |
| HT amp for music- please help I use a Krell TAS for both 5 channel and 2 channel stereo and could not be happier with the amp. Previously, I used a Krell KSA-250 for stereo playback, the TAS sounds better to my ears (cleaner, great bass and just as dynamic as the KSA-250 IMHO)... | |
