| Missing the Old Days Rebuilding old JBLs is one of the ways to go. Head on over to youtube and check out Kenrick Sound over in Japan. All they do is refurbish JBLs or upgrade crossovers on current inventory and they command a premium price around the world. If your co... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? It makes sense for them to do this from all of the concern and demand. They already have one more shipment of 203s coming this summer, the factory hasn't been completely shuttered, and they have a ready audience for the product. One last hurrah. A... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable I just installed two Gutwire Perfect Ground cables, one to my SACD player, and after hearing it, I went and installed the other on my integrated. Past practice dictates waiting for one to break in before trying another but heck, the results were s... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production More than likely has to with trade and tariffs.If so, this could be the tip of the iceberg. I just saw used BDP-103 units going for low $400 to just over $600 on amazon. One could buy a UDP-203 and sell their 103 to cover most of the cost. I'm lea... | |
| Missing the Old Days A big + on the JBL recommendation. I have the 4319 monitors and they're based on decades old tech and sound wonderful; no sub needed and can be loud enough to break any lease. They're driven by a good old Class A/B Marantz integrated and I use sol... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses What's it like to go through life doubting everything unless it's objectively tested? My neck would sure be sore looking over my shoulder all the time. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses That is true, but the ones I've seen that say there's a difference, actually heard the difference, whereas the ones that say there are no differences, say it without benefit of hearing it for themselves. It seems that false equivalency can be had ... | |
| Interested in listening to Antipodes. What’s great about the EX is it has a built in DAC that’s good for PCM and up to 24bit, 192 Khz with analog outputs. A better DAC can be added later, if you wish. For luddites, like me, it may be the way to go in the future. It can hold all of my ... | |
| Appropriate quality interconnect between Oppo 203 and Denon AVR? Suggestions please! There is a Sale | Zu Audio with some incredibly low pricing for anyone who needs power and speaker cables and ICs. They say they are very close to the Mission line of cables for a fraction of the price.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Los Angeles Audio Show Scheduled for Friday, Saturday Sunday June 8-9-10, 2018 in Irvine Thanks @hgeifman . Hopefully as time goes by they'll do just that. | |
| Los Angeles Audio Show Scheduled for Friday, Saturday Sunday June 8-9-10, 2018 in Irvine It seems to have been updated as one section states there are 100s of rooms with gear to listen to but the only named exhibitors are just a few.I thought it was called off but it looks like I may be going after all.Thanks for the heads up.All the ... | |
| Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day This thread brought back the image of that imposing wooden door. Aside from that, nice at first and then rather snooty.All the bestNonoise | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote I just had a banana for breakfast. Does that mean I'll get mad bananas disease? 😄 | |
| MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax "I’d walk a million miles, for one of your smiles, my Mammy."How in the hell can MQA improve that? | |
