| Stereo or monoblocks Late to this post, but I'm running a pair of mono Schiit Aegir's to power my LS50 Metas and I love the sound. Using a Parasound P7 preamp for both it's multi channel capability and it's balanced outputs. I initially had one Aegir, but it just w... | |
| Current model DVD with 5.1 / 7.1 analog out - "Oppo Like" features HI, Super late reply, I don't have anything against AVRs per se except maybe footprint (they tend to be huge and I like lower profile gear), and I'm also more of a two channel / audio guy at heart. and never saw myself getting much past 5.1 And A... | |
| Current model DVD with 5.1 / 7.1 analog out - "Oppo Like" features @fuzztone It actually is more of a 4.0 Oppo gives you options to mix the front channels and I've got subs integrated with the two channels up front. As I said, it's crude. @spenav I agree, and I found one locally on Craigslist so I think I'm ju... | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback I hear you, but I was using the Oppo like a preamp as well to create a crude 5.1 setup and of course I've got some DVD's that I like to play occasionally. It's always something.... :-) | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback The CD playback was acting up big time, so I think it's time to retire the unit | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Thanks designfx, I'll check it out. Phil | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Hi designfx, My 103-D only has single ended outputs so that's not an option for me. I have played with the Oppo volume vs the preamp volume and didn't see any difference. I also ran a speedtest on my internet connection and that seems fine. An... | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Thanks again everyone, did more listening with a variety of CDs and am now convinced that CD's do indeed play fine and the issue is with streaming from Tidal. I think the first CD I grabbed after finding the streaming issue was something less th... | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Thanks for the feedback, I"ll be pulling things apart to insert some new equipement and will check all the connections. Perhaps something get messed up when I was making some previous change. Phil | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Kenjit,Let me say what everyone is thinking.You are simply a sorry little troll participating in this thread to spew your particular brand of nonsense and derision. Are you an economist because you have that "often wrong but never in doubt" vibe a... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I got mine yesterday and I'm loving them.I had the original LS50s paired with a couple of small REL subs and found it quite nice, but decided to splurge and buy myself a pair of Metas for Christmas and made the switch to the Metas yesterday aftern... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Wow, I had no idea when I gave a general thumbs up to US cleaning that this would turn into such a long and educational thread.First, my thanks to those who contributed to my efforts and in particular@terry9 @slaw @whart FWIW I took a slightly dif... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @folkfreak That deserves it's own thumbs up. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @stringreen I agree that in general the vacuum method is better than nothing, but the US method seems far superior. It may or may not be "worth it" to you, but there is a difference. But you are focused on the right things...Enjoying the music a... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Heads up on temperature / thermometer readings.As mentioned previously the temperature gauges on my USD units or incorrect - off by 5c - 10c - on the low side. So actual temp may be 45c but the temp gauge on the US unit will read 35c.I previously ... |
