New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881?
After some testing yesterday it's pretty tough to tell the MF and Oppo apart. I will continue to burn in, I think I have around 160 hours on it at this point.

after all week breaking it in it seems much closer now. I have a friend coming over so we can do some blind testing tomorrow. I am pretty happy with it at this point..... sucks that I aint going to get jack for MF if I sell it though.... :(

Just saying, If I had those Maggies....(and system) I would be hard pressed to listen to a tv thru another speaker... : )

Ozzy, at 90 hours tonight it sounding better. I found something odd comparing it to the MF. I put in one disc and it was unlistenable on the 95... odd kind of static noise, kind of thing that when played on the MF player you hear it and think ther...

Just use what you have? While you amp pulls some current, I doubt it pulls so much that the energy savings would offset the costs of the additinoal speakers. It's like trading in a fairly new, good condition car to get a hybrid so you get 10mpg be...

The 95 is very easy to listen to, and I could live with it. But the MF delivers a much more detailed and solid sound. I will see what happens after a few more days of burn in.

I will continue to run it in this week Jdub and get back to you, I need to find a pair of balanced cable as well to try that. What player are you comparing the 95 to?

Well, I am with you on this one Ozzy, ( I don't have nearly the dragon to slay but.. ) The MF will have to stay for now. Coming from an older Sony BR player though, this is just great!

Got mine yesterday, letting it burn in now. Performed great on the movie last night! Hoping to consolidate and get rid of a MF A308cd.Happy customer here. 
The sound of glasswear
A tubed amp that damages speakers warming up? First I heard of that?Love those 5a's you got though..... one day maybe... 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
With you Marakenetz... don't know that I have ever heard a SS guitar amp that cuts it! 
Transparent Bi-Cable
oh.. my bad... sorry about that. Yea, I think Super is where Transparent starts to shine, Ultra is kind of the sweet point, or at least as far as I was willing to go! 
Transparent Bi-Cable
Ultra is much better but the Super isn't that bad. How many hours where on the cables? Did you let them settle in for a few days as well? Bass seems to be the strong point for Transparent ( at least to my ears ) so I am surprised the Supers sounde... 
Amp s choices to match with Wilson Sophias ?
Agree with Atmasphere, I have only heard them with Audio Research and Levinson. Preferred the Audio Research. 
transparent cable sound signature
Using Transparent Ultra MM2 speaker, Single ended IC and Balanced IC. Bass response is what I find the biggest attribute. MM2 has more "open, airy" highs. YMMV.
