WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?
@Lalitk,There is not Champagne Marantz on Audio Advisor. That was an incorrect information they printed in their catalog.http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MASA10 
Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cables
You are welcome @hifiman5 . Glad to know that you are enjoying your music. Also try to listen to some old or no-so-well-recorded songs, and you will be surprised by the musicality of this cable. 
Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cables
hifiman5,Good to read your review. This is EXACTLY the excitement that I had when I first put these cables in my system. I know that folks like us do not really want to review, but to share the enjoyment that some great product brought to us and o... 
New Release CD Players $1000 - $1500
Looking for ONLY CD player or a Universal player would do?Marantz SA8005, Yamaha CD-S1000 and Oppo UDP-205 come to my mind.The Yamaha s slightly older, but supposed to be a good player. 
Atohm GT1 SE vs KEF LS50
Heard both of these at AXPONA this year, in 2 separate rooms. The KEFs were in a HUGE room and sounded alright. But the Atohms were in a normal room. when I entered the room, I thought the floor standers were playing. I was told that the GT1s were...

Axpona Shout Outs
@schubert ,I think I saw those figures on some rag's site. Not sure. It was about "which age group purchased how much % of the tickets" - roughly. Need to search. 
Oppo UDP - 205
dbphd,So the Oppo is not a giant killer after all. But looks like it can get get you so much closer to the mega priced dedicated CD players at a much smaller outlay. Would like to hear your opinion after a few hundred hours. May be the burn-in wil...

@itzhak1969,How big/small is your room? Have you considered the D30Sr? I was quite impressed with these speakers at the AXPONA this year.@axeis1 indicates that the ProAcs sound better when placed closer to each other. The ProAcs were setup thus, a... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@dbphd ,Yes do you have excellent source, no doubt about that. And your system is also on the higher end. If anything, it should reveal any deficiencies in the Oppo or any advantages that it has. But it is this feedback from "users" that I trust r... 
Pass Labs
@jj77,Funny how all hobbies and our progress in life changes our perspective. When we are younger and do not have the cash to blow, we feel even a $100 cable is a rip-off. When we do better in life and have a good disposable income we feel that a ... 
Hi-res digital audio vs sacd
Though I love SACDs (physical discs), I would have to agree with the 2 posters before me. The reason for this is - it seems you do not have a single SACD. In that case, you should simply stick with DSD (if you like SACD sound) and consider a new D... 
Oppo UDP - 205
Ozzy,Did you compare the "audio only" of the Oppo with a CDP? Please share your findings.dbphd,Happy Birthday to you! Please share your comparisons of this player with the rest of the players in your system. 
AXPONA 2017 Protocol
Al,Thank You for the detailed report.I think our experiences match a lot. I heard the PSB Imagine T3s on Sunday at the Saturday Exchange room. They sounded so much better than the demo I have a few weeks back. At that time the dealer was comparing... 
Oppo UDP - 205
They had this at the AXPONA this year. I lifted it and the weight was substantial. Hoping that this is better than the 105D that it replaces.
