| The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question Hilarious, but the fact remains that I can buy a $50 blu-ray player on Amazon with built in streaming services, but Oppo is now telling me I can't have it in a $500 player. Give me one good reason. The press release says "purity". So are the curr... | |
| The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question I won’t upgrade either. I listen to Tidal coming out of my 103 into an external dac every-single-day. The oppo IS my streaming device. Why would I give that up in the name of "purity" or whatever excuse they have come up with for one less feature ... | |
| Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please? I would buy a nice dac and keep your CD player as the transport. This will give you the upgrade in sound quality you want since you have just replaced the audio processor in the cd player with something presumably newer and better. And you wi... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Alcohol makes me beer-goggle my system so i cant trust my judgement. Drugs would probably have me decide something is wrong, unhook all the cables, rearrange everything, and wake up in the morning with the speakers pointed backwards. I mostly st... | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? There is a Herron VTSP-3A pre listed for sale on this site at less than half retail right now. I have read some amazing reviews of Herron products. | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 The description of the 1070 matches my experience with the 1075, except I didnt even feel like I had analytical. And yet the new 1585 has slam, warmth, and all kinds of dynamics. It is a lively and fun amp with good punch. I agree Rotel spent a fe... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations I compared the Stager Silver Solids to Kimber Hero and PBJ, Wireworld Equinox 7, and Decware Silver Reference. I liked the Stagers best. I'm using them between a DAC and a tube pre and then out of a tube pre. The Decware cables were very simi... | |
| 6922 Tubes! Regarding the Russian 6N23 tubes, I can attest to the fact that they are awesome, but the year they were made and the internal specifics are very important. I would not buy just anything on Ebay described as 6N23. I own several pairs from 1974 and... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Stager Silver Solids. $150 for 1.0 meter pair. Very revealing silver cables. They are unshielded and the connectors aren't fancy, but I like the increased detail without over emphasis on one end or the other of the spectrum. | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 For sure, you’ll be fine with that as a second system. I’d take that deal all day long. | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 I smiled when i read your "I may be stuck" comment too. There are a lot worse things to be stuck with than Rotel. I hope it turns out to be a great sleeper system. Good luck and report back about how it sounds in your room. | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 Also wanted to add that I don’t think you would go wrong with the RB-1590. Top of the line Rotel, and I love the power specs on that one, 350w. I would just try to audition lots of similar amps in that price range so you know you made the best cho... | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 I have gotten what I think is very good mid-fi sound with a Rotel RMB-1585 5-Channel amp (200w), so I have Rotel love. I feel like I have very good dynamics and sound staging. Instruments and vocals do all the magic things that decent speakers and... | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles You're absolutely right, it was an overly sarcastic and rude post on my part. I apologize. The old posts are some of the best, and I enjoy it when they are revived. | |
| Scratchy pops coming from the left channel when I turn up the volume why? Jiggle the power supply. Make sure it is plugged in to the input on the back. Secure it. |
