Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
You guys beat me to it. I'm putting in my order for it later today.Alvin is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Check out the page on the 6moons review with the specs. It looks to be flat from 8Hz-26Khz. That's a straight wire with gain if there ev...

DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
This thread is just another case of deja vu, all over again. Everyone back to your corners and come out swinging at the sound of the bell.Now, the bell will sound different depending on the cables you use...All the best,Nonoise 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
I didn't mean to infer that it was your axe to grind, @calvinj . Threads like these are done in shorthand. Just in my price range, I have about half a dozen cables which I try out with every new component. I have two that are my go to cables but I...

DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Take an old photograph made with old technology. Do you think you can accurately reproduce it with better tech? Of course. If you were to take that old photo and took a photo of it with the same old tech it was originally taken with, you'd end up ...

I hate that we have people that make fun of hearing what we actually here instead of being serious. If you don’t like cables take your chicken wire and beat it👍

price of Oppo players threw the roof
@pokey77 ,I've been considering it but swapping out the power board in my 103 gave me much better sound and a bit of improvement in the picture.  Definitely worth it, IMHO. For just $900 more than the cost of the OPPO, I may get a new integrated (... 
price of Oppo players threw the roof
After reading of this new and final shipment, I emailed OPPO an hour ago about any chance of some 203 players as well and was told that there's only going to be 205 units coming. Oh well. 
Suggestions for a tough room? Not a comedian, just have a non optimal listening space...
Wait until you get your speakers. You may find that near field may be an option. See this article:KIH #58 - Close encounters | Darko.AudioThere are others here who'll eventually chime in who are deeply versed in room set up, but wait until you get...

What is the most important component in your system.
I just rediscovered the joy of a well recorded SACD. That, leads me to believes that once the whole system is dialed in, that "single" component belief is made irrelevant. It's now down to the source. There are still gems hidden in those pits and ... 
Have you recently lost a close audiophile buddy? What has it taught you?
Sorry to hear about your loss, calvinj. My audio friends just drifted away to other interests. It can still be a lonely hobby but this site certainly comes in handy.All the best,Nonoise
