| OPPO BDP103 & DSD Files I had a similar challenge only reversed a few years ago when I upgraded to an Integra Pre-Pro from a Rotel surround sound receiver. The Integra only decodes DSD from SACDs through one of its HDMI inputs. So I had to then upgrade to an OPPO BD-10... | |
| How good are the Pioneer sp-22-LR's Oops you already bought them. Sorry about that. I meant to say......yes keep them !! | |
| Bookshelf speakers with very flexible placement So my first gut response would be to address your room itself and not the system components just yet. At 15' x 31' and a 14' ceiling height with little or no bass traps, no carpet or upholstery, no drapes, etc, this is going to be a challenge to ... | |
| How good are the Pioneer sp-22-LR's Yes I had heard about these a few years ago from a friend in the hobby but just couldn't believe they could be that great for the price. Read articles on them and then forgot about them. Well recentlyt I needed a small two channel system for my ... | |
| Oppo BD-103, Youtube feature no longer works Thanks everyone for your excellent input. I did finally call Oppo Digital tech support the other day. (My player does have the latest firmware). The tech explained that these players use a YouTube app and it's not a direct connection to the web... | |
| Enhancing my B&W 683s Yes Phasecorrect. I wouldn't actually tackle such a project but it is an interesting challenge if you know what you're doing. Yes it could impact resale value because the units were modified. | |
| Enhancing my B&W 683s Wow never even thought of replacing the internal wiring and stuffing. Interesting idea. Many thanks. | |
| Oppo Digital BDP-103 Thanks folks. I will check on the firmware version and update if required. FYI, I did hear back from Oppo Tech Support on this on 7/6. They advised that about 10 days ago, YouTube changed their server which is causing stability issues with HTML cl... | |
| Multichannel amp... Well for under $2K, I'd strongly recommend the Rotel RMB-1555. It's a 5 channel HT and Music amp providing a conservative 120 watts/channel into 8 ohms ALL channels driven. It has a huge toroidal transformer. I should know. I have one and purchase... | |
| Upgrade from B & W DM602 S3 You may want to consider upgrading to a pair of B&W 683s. These are full 3-way floor standing speakers with greater bass extension as they have two bass drivers. It would be a sustantial upgrade for you. I had upgraded from a pair of 603-S3s a... | |
| ARCAM AVR300 - beware Wow I feel your pain and frustration. Sounds like you've exhausted most options. What about your local audio dealer. Have they been any help or perhaps another dealer who wants your business? There's a similar thread at avsforum you may want to lo... | |
| Marantz SR5008 vs Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R Yes just looking at price alone, the Marantz SR5008 has a current list price of $899.00 and I believe the Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R had a list price in 2011 at approx $1799.00 per some on-line articles. So that alone should raise a flag. Just beca... | |
| Once again, impressed by NAD Yes I had the famous NAD 7240PE two channel receiver for many years and it worked flawlessly. I finally did sell here on Audiogon when I upgraded to surround sound. But that machine was so well built. Now because of the audio dealer I prefer worki... | |
| Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k Jazzonthehudson (I like the sound of that). I've got some Lee Morgan playing right now !! There's literally a ton of choices out there for a new multi-channel amp and surround sound processor. So many choices !! I would expect you'll get a plethor... | |
| horace silver has died Anyone here read his autobiographay, "Let's Get Down to the Nitty Gritty"? That's when you really get to know him. What a stand up solid human being. He never succumbed to the heroin and drug additions of his peers and even fellow bandmates. We sa... |
