JWAudio Cryo-Nova speaker cable. How does it rate?
I have the Cryo Nova speaker cables in my 2nd system and for the price they are really good. The only negative thing about these cables is the "flexibility". But no complains sound wise. In fact they are worth their asking price. 
Bluetooth streaming
corvette01,If you love streaming, you owe it to yourself to get the Auris. It has changed "what" I listen to, since it has opened a lot of avenues for me. I used to have a Logitech Bluetooth receiver, which got the job done. But the move to Auris ... 
Oppo UDP - 205
From whatever feedback is provided in this thread and another one on the Oppo, I am coming to the conclusion that, while the Oppo is no giant killer, it's sound quality comes close to 80% of what a high end dedicated SACD player can do. Which is n... 
Bluetooth streaming
@shadorne,Completely agree with you on bluetooth being lossy and compressed. But you shoud try that with a good Bluetooth DAC and tablet that are both aptX compliant. You will be surprised.

I have been absolutely delighted and happy with the Auris bluMe Bluetooth DAC. It is a audiophile grade DAC with AKM chip inside. I use Android phone and tablet to stream my music. Highly recommended.

Ozzy,Thanks for your impression on the update!

@ozzy,Would like to hear to hear about 2-channel audio, comparing the Oppo to the Bryston/PS Audio. Just curious about that mod.

Ozzy,Please let us know how the mod made a difference sound-wise. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
Thanks for the folks. While it looks like the Oppo is not a giant killer, it is a great bargain for the price. My choice will be dependent on the loudspeaker I end up with, because the budget will set the purchase decision. Besides, it looks like ... 
Current speaker threads are boring
@inna You should try the Spendor D7 and the ProAc D30RS or the D48. Superb sounding loudspeakers. Not boring at all. I was also surprised by the Paradigm Persona 3F. But these have too much bling factor for me. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
During the visits to the 5-6 dealers, I did not find a single system using either Esoteric or Marantz or Ayre SACD players. Mostly it was CD players (MBL, Simaudio, Rega) or streamer/DACs (Naim, McIntosh, etc). I have not yet made up my mind on th... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Folks, I visited about 5 dealers yesterday to audition different loudspeakers. One thing I realized that, loudspeakers are simply user preferences. No loudspeaker is great and no loudspeaker is bad. How can a brand X, which so may people love, be ...
