What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I originally read this thread at work! And it motivated me to have some fun this afternoon. First up was Pinback, blue screen life. I have just discovered them in the last three/four months. I can say this is one of the best records I've heard in ... 
Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos
Thanks for all the comments so far. -I do not want to leave my computer powered on all the time. I'd rather just have an HD or NAS that can do the duty. And I want to make sure that my music is backed up. For me, I won't even start the project if ... 
Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos
Buffalo drives have been mentioned. What do you think of them? Also, was thinking of two identical drives so I could back the primary drive up. How would you do it?Finally, looking to spend less than more $$. That is kind of the lure of this, seem... 
I need a new TV
So, I went by and made a deal with my local dealer. Magnolia never got back to me. Unfortunately the dealer had to order it and it won't be here until next Tues/Wed. And probably next Thursday since Wednesday is the 4th. But now its just the wait.... 
New tv?
Cool. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. 
I need a new TV
To clear up my previous post. The dealer is providing a no-cost initial setup and calibration with a DVD. Then a month later they will do an ISF calibration: cost is $300. So, I called Magnolia and asked if they would meet the dealers deal: Sony $... 
I need a new TV
I appreciate the comments. They have made some good points and given me a few ideas. I went to a dealer today after work that I had not been to in five years and after listening to my needs, the sales person recommended the Sony KDL55W900A, same a... 
Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion
I'm totally loving mine (Oppo 105). I bought it to do Blu-ray and it sure does that well. So much better to watch movies on. And it is also much better than my Redbook CD player, the Cambridge 840C. To me it is fast, neutral, revealing, and sounds... 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
Just for reference, I did hear a number of rooms playing open reel (RTR) but none of them were even close to the MBL room. As mentioned, they were playing Hugh Masekela's record Hope in the MBL room. My friend bought it after the show and shared i... 
WOW; great stuff at THE Show, Newport this weekend
whoops, that's the 3rd Annual T.H.E. Show. 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
I was wrong (looked at the official website and had coverage for only two shows). Anyway, it was actually the third annual event.

(this is a cross post from another show thread)The 2nd Annual T.H.E. Show Newport Beach was pretty fun. I’ve never been to a hi-end show of any kind and being that the event was being held only five miles from my house, it was an easy decision.Her...

Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD
Thanks for the help. Ordered on Amazon. Can't wait to compare it to the Redbook.This is truly an amazing recording. What other SACD's sound this good? Looking for Rock/Jazz/etc that sound like this. I only ask because I've read too many comments b...
