Why is Oppo stopping products.
     I was surprised and disappointed by the Oppo news.  I was thinking of updating my 65" Panasonic 1080p plasma to an LG 65" OLED model since the price has dropped to below $1,500 at an online retailer (TVSuperstore.com I think).       I was pla...

bstatmeister: "Honestly I would rather buy an extra sub than a cross over - at least to start off with...lol"    I have no experience with the Vandersteen crossovers discussed but I'm fairly certain that having 2 subs rather than just a single sub... 
Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
Hi english210, I don’t have any issues using the XLR cables for the stereo/l+r mains and the unbalanced rca for the surround outputs. I doubt you will either. By ear, I can tell the XLR seem to have a slightly higher gain than the rca so the XLR s...

Hello wolf_garcia,     " Moving a speaker around is about as analog as you can get, and I like it."     Since you seem to enjoy experimenting, I thought you might want to try positioning your REL-Q150e at your listening position then walk around y... 
What Matters and What is Nonsense
I agree with many others on this thread that the quality level of recordings is very important. Even if your reproduction system is excellent, it will only be able to faithfully reproduce what was captured on the recording when it was originally ...

bstatmeister,     I'm familiar with unbalanced rca and balanced XLR connections but I've never heard of a TS connector.       From the Amazon adapter you linked to, it seems you're 'TS' connector is what I consider a'1/4"'  connector typically use...

Hi hifiman,     Another independently verified example of how well the distributed bass array system works.     I'll start the incorporation process for our new company: The hifiman5 and noble100 Home and Business Sound System Consulting Group.   ... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hello hifiman5 Yes, I understand and agree with you about how relieving the main amp’s responsibility of amplifying bass signals is beneficial both to the amp’s power output requirements and the overall sound since the amp is then able to devote i...

     If one wanted the finest signal integrity and purity for optimum performance from a music based 2-ch system, is it beneficial to use an amp with non-standard connections,  use multiple connector type adapters and use an external crossover wit...

" noble100 ,I would not discount the Sub 3 until I listened to it. If Mr. V. discontinues a very good sub in favor of a new one, it must be a significant improvement.And, Vandersteen's use of an external high pass crossover was very much 'thinkin...

" noble100 ,I think Johnny was referring to the integrated equalizer in the new Sub 3.As far as I know, there are no subs with equalizers incorporated."Hi gdnrbob,     Thanks for responding for audioconnection/Johnny.       I understand audioconn...

Hi sonicjoy,     Okay, thanks.  I'll check out the Acoustic Fields website.     What's great about the Swarm system, when properly set up, is that it requires no room treatments, DSP, equalization,  or room correction mics and software.  It's real...
