| Oppo UDP - 205 @dragon_vibe ,Can you please explain the differences you are hearing between the Merlot and the Oppo 205? For the price difference, I would not be surprised, especially when the Merlot is a FGPA based that the designer can custom-code to their lik... | |
| $10K-15K short list? @ricred1 ,Point noted and that makes sense.@dhanks,You have the EXACT thoughts that I do. A $10-$15k loudspeakers should last 10+years, more maybe. That is why it is difficult for me to lock to my next upgrade. I will take more efforts to hear som... | |
| $10K-15K short list? @ricred1, we are currently going by budget, not by room :-)I might add, ProAc D48R, based on my audition of the D30RS. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Thank You @gdhal, @ozzy ,@dbphd . Your feedback is much appreciated. You have added value to my decision making. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Thanks @dbphd, @gdhal and @ozzy.What would you guys do, if you set a budget of $11k and had to buy a pair of loudspeaker and a disc player. Which of the following would you purchase:1. $6k loudspeaker and $4.5k disc spinnerOR2. $10k loudspeaker an... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Folks who got this player, what is your conclusion? Giant killer or a regular CDP? Any comparisons to the latest standalone SACD players? | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money +1 more for Clear Day, since you mentioned "realistic". Recommend their speaker cables and ICs (RCA and XLRs). | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy @blindjim ,You have so many cable on hand. Why not get the Clear Day cables and give them a shot? As of now have you shortlisted the final 3? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thank You for the feedback @david_ten , @corelli and @bullitt5094.@bullitt5094,Please do let us know once you receive your Odyssey amps. Would like to hear from you how it upgraded the sound from the DIs. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Anyone using the Double Impacts with a high powered solid state amp? I have seen almost all the posters here, driving these with tube amps.@lmswjm, thank you for posting the pic on your system page. The loudspeaker looks good. Are you driving them... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy +1 @hifiman5 on the Clear Day cables. All my ICs and my loudspeaker cables are Clear Day. They are real "ear openers". | |
| Tekton Double Impacts We were able to identify the makes of the pianos being used just by their tone on the Ulf's. @333jeffery,Seriously? A bit too much for any loudspeaker to reveal, unless you already know which one was used in that recording. Are you saying that j... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? @paul79 ,We have no idea what your system consists of. Would you mind sharing? | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers @gdhal/@stereo5 ,Your experiences are your own and hence I respect that. But I am looking at the Tekton Double Impact thread that is growing and also read the professional review @Hometheaterreview.com. Looks like the DIs replaced some $20k loudsp... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? @dla123,Read almarg's post very carefully and try to make sense of it. Will probably save you tons of money on a nice upgrade DAC and you might be able to purchase a $5-$7k loudspeaker. Good luck! |
