Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP
If you buy the PL, then there's no turning back from tubes unless you replace it.. Getting the Oppo mod and the Belles you can switch back and forth (SS/tube sound).. Not saying don't get the PL, I've heard good things about it too.. Just saying t... 
Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP
If you want  to dabble in tubes, check out Modwright's website.. He can mod the Oppo with some tubes.. I have a 205 also.. I already began the fun of trying different tubes.. Well only 3 so far but still.. In my system the Oppo was so detailed I f... 
Oppo 105D video vs. Oppo 205 video - my 205 video doesn't look right
nice 
Oppo 105D video vs. Oppo 205 video - my 205 video doesn't look right
and no issues with 105 on the new TV ? are you having the 205 do the upscaling ? try setting it to native output and have the TV do any of the upscaling..  
Amp match for a paradigm signature s2 system
a Krell Showcase 5 or 7 should be on your short list.. I used to own one and liked it very much, especially for movies.. very detailed, lots of bass, midrange and treble good.. only issue was when I turned it up real loud the treble became annoyin...

Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
I love my Classe CA2200 amp and had no desire in trading it in for something else but after reading this thread, it got me curious about Belles product(s).. I wonder if Belles is going to make a 200w amp from the Virtuoso line ? How they compare t... 
Review: Zu Audio Mission Mk 1 Hi-Fi power cable
Love their interconnects.. speaker cables pretty good too.. only as my system got better and more detailed, it started to get analytical sounding.. no fault of the speaker cable but I had to remove the silver in the speaker cable and go to an all ... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
I got the impression that you're a perfectionist so I figured you'd be so tired of having to deal with inferior products that you'd create/design your own equipment.. make some money doing it.. teaching everyone how to do it.. To me thats what a p... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
bo1972, got to ask.. if you know it all, how come you don't put your knowledge together and build some great cables of your own and then market it.. you make a lot of money, right ? You said you been doing this research since 1998 and 20 years lat... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
      Thanks folkfreak... It was suggested to me to put the power cord before the strip so that maybe all components could benefit. My strip isn't a conditioner, just a passive device with some em/rf shielding (Verastarr). Also thats where I think... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
got my 1st Hurricane power cord in about 3 weeks ago.. placed it between the wall and power strip.. what I noticed was the bass got more detailed.. not a huge difference but better.. and that's about it.. ordering my 2nd Hurricane this weekend and... 
Classe Audio rises again
not sure why they wouldn't want to not repair their equipment.. thats MONEY they certainly can use.. especially if sales are slow.. I;m in the used auto parts business and I know several new car dealerships that say the service dept. and body shop... 
Please recommend a PreAmp for my 5.1 home theatre system
like I said (actually repeating what the manufacturers say), all volume control does some harm.. pick what works best for you.. willemj, does that test include turning up the volume across 6 channels for surround sound or just stereo ?  
Classe Audio rises again
happy to hear Classe is up again as I own the SSP800 and CA2200..  about the video deralte posted, I have a similar problem with the input switching on the SSP.. the trick is you have to turn on the source first then the SSP and it works like a ch...
