| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? audiofeil:if you know anything about, science, math or logic and experimental design, if one person prefers a digital front end to an analog front end, it disproves the hypothesis that vinyl is better than digital.i suggest you go back to school a... | |
| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE ithe decision to purchase an oppo 95 and have it modified vs tmodwright modded 83se may boil down to the sound of tubes, to some extent vs the sound of solid state. while this may be an oversimplification, it haaaaaaaaas been suggested that nuforc... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? there is an inherent problem with the question being asked.audiophiles are not tyical. they are unique just as non-audiophiles are.the vehicles owned by audiophiles probably are no different in the aggregate than non-audiophiles.that is i doubt yo... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? ok, no one is contradicting my assertions.here is another issue.if a recording distorts the sound of the instruments being recorded, how do you assess the accuracy/inaccuracy of the stereo system ?if you were present at a recording studio, you wou... | |

| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE hi bluenose:if you had to choose between a modwright modded oppo 83 se with a tube output stage (67n7) tubes, plus tube rectification, which gave a more tube like presentation, more body and warmth, would you still stay with your bdp 93 NE ?by the... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 i ecenetly spoke to dan wright about his mods to the sony and the opp 83 se. here is a choice. in essence, warmth vs detail. one is not better than other , rather one is different than another.players have strengths and weaknesses. one man's ruptu... | |
| SACD player hi samzx12:your right in that my perceptions of brightness and warmth are different from many people. however, there still is a risk making a purchase based upon opinions on audiogon, without auditioning the component before purchasing.i thinik yo... | |

| SACD player i would be careful about the marantz 11 s2. i owned it, leant it tyo a friend, and both of us felt that its presentation was fatiguing.i realize that this is a minority opinion.i would say that it would be a good idea to audition the player before... | |

| Your feelings on vintage audio. i think older tube gear, e.g., cj mv 125, and older digital hardware, such as cal tempest and aria, as well as older panel speakers, such as dayton wright, klh 9, quad 57, etc, are preferable to anything produced today.what i am saying is that a s... | |
| HDMI cable differences i use hdmi for audio with my ps audio gear. there are differences. cables containing copper only sound better.as far as the video mode, i also prefer copper cables for better color saturation, but silver playe improves picture clarity, cables shou... | |
