| UPGRADE CDP NEED YOUR HELP Have you considered the Distinction line of TEAC? I believe it is an upgrade from the PD-H600, which I have. They're kind of like Esoteric light and should sound wonderful. http://audio.teac.com/products/distinction_series/At a nearby audio salon,... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? Pettyofficer, you can't keep playing both sides against the middle. The bits and pieces that comprise really good audio playback are already out there. Standardization will follow once one of the major players takes a first step. Others will follo... | |
| so many speakers Wolf, love your take on drums. They are acoustic in the fullest sense and if hidden in playback, pray that it is due to the recording and not your speakers.My Tonians "only" go down to 40Hz and drop off rapidly after that and yet drums come across... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? Pettyofficer.You are too pessimistic. Plain and simple. High quality music will always be around as it's not that difficult to maintain high standards be it with CDs, laptops, etc.Someone will hit the nail on the head, format wise, and all will be... | |

| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview I have the Oppo BDP-103 and have yet to hear a CD on it. As for movies, I had no notion that my speakers could go that low with such authority and precision.Time will tell if it's not up to snuff, audiophilically (did I just coin that one?) but fo... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? I had fun as well when it came to the convenience of perusing my collection. Fast and easy became the norm. It was only when I swapped out some ICs that I came to the conclusion that all bets were off as far as sound quality: the difference was th... | |

| Stabilizers and footers I second Herbie's Audio Lab. They drain (absorb) from all directions, not just vertically.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I Take My Music Seriously Sabai,The closest I come to liking CW music is Johnny Cash and there was a time when I liked Mandy Barnet and Shania Twain. There's always some aspect of some music that can draw me in. Maybe not Polka, but most music. :-)All the best,Nonoise |
