| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I will respond to your hookup questions tomorrow. Going from memory your system consists of the following:Panasonic VT65" plasma tv.Oppo 105 KEF LS50 speakersKEF center channel I don't remember if you bought a subwoofer or not. Here's how ... | |
| Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro Response34, I can honestly say, and it was very surprising to me, that I do not miss my beloved VTL tube preamp in my audio chain. Everything sounds just as sweet to me going without it. To be fair, however, I made a lot of changes to my system at... | |
| Witch H.T. processor is the best I would suggest you get an Oppo 105 bluray player for $1,199, instead. It has a very good 7.1 surround processor built in with analog outputs for your amps, just like the Anthem and Cary procesors. It can be used as a stand-alone DAC, with state ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, Excellent, I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions. I'm kind of busy right now with a kitchen remodel, but I'll be checking in on this thread over the next few weeks. Tim | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I just noticed I didn't answer your question on the remotes. As I noted before, my system is very similar to yours. I not only have the same hdtv and Oppo 105 as you, I have Directv, too. So, I'll tell you how I utilize the remotes and giv... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Hi Avgoround, If you already have a hi-speed home internet wi-fi network, then just let me know via pm when you get your Oppo, laptop or tablet, J River Media Center software, NAS and backup drives and I'll walk you through it. Once you 'rip' your... | |
| Some amplifier questions Hi Wemfan, Yes, understanding and tolerant wives are important for us a/v nuts. I'll have been married for 26 yrs this May and she's been cool with me turning our living rooms into combination home theaters and listening rooms (with front 6 ft tal... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Avgoround, You stated: "here's all im interested in, if it means needing to get ANY Oppo: One, I need to know if its possible to burn my bluray discs onto some hard drive, bit for bit (no loss of audio/video rez), and stream them through the Oppo?... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan and Finsup, It looks like you'll be waiting 3-4 wks until you can figure out where to position them to sound best. In the meantime, I'll give you some points to keep in mind when they do arrive:1. Stand mounted monitors typically sound best... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I suggest you delay purchase of a sub until you audition your new system in your room and adjust the LS50/stand positioning for optimum sq. I can suggest a good starting point for initial speakers' placement once you answer 2 questions:1.... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I agree with Finsup: you may find you don't need a sub once you have it up n running and listen for a few days. You may want one since the LS50s only reproduce bass down to 47hz. I'd wait to make sure, though, since it may save you a punch... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Hi Albert, Interesting about the DSD performance. Knowing Oppo, though, there will be incremental improvements with every new model, usually with software updates for previous models. Recording methods may also spur near future improvements in sq ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I just sent an email about stands to you but you'll probably see that post before this one. Hopefully, you can cancel the order if, after you read my other post, you decide you'd rather buy a different one. The Argosy stand pair I mentione... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, So, you have a new rack on order with a larger center speaker position and you bought the Parasound A31 3-ch amp. I think you just need a pair of good stands for the LS50s, right? Each LS50 weighs 16lbs and is 12"high x 8"wide x 11"deep. ... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Albert, I see you're already familiar with the outstanding performance of the Oppo 105 and have ordered another, adding the Darbee. I've been on Audiogon for awhile and have always noticed that you have had very nice systems with excellent equipme... |
