Is OPPO worth the inflated price?

Soundproofing
@folkfreak . Doors can be significantly quieted by thin lead sheeting glued/green glued to one or both sides: then cover with a sheet of melamine. Solid lead does not leach into skin; however I’d use heavy duty vinyl/rubber gloves and dispose of t...

Power conditioner , Re-generator.....for Spectral DMA 150 / 180 Power amplifiers
I am using an Equitech 2Q to address “common mode” ac noise and an MIT Oracle AC pc (which addresses differential ac noises)to my Spectral amplifier. The improvement in sound quality is not subtle. For anyone willing to invest such units will defi...

Difference in sound between day and night. Help!

Full Range under $5k-ish

Yg Carmel 1 versus Magico S1 Mk 1
@soix . Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I hadn’t been considering other speakers,partly because the looks of the Carmels and S1 were pleasing to my girlfriend and we spend significant time listening to music. I will now look at the other... 
Yg Carmel 1 versus Magico S1 Mk 1
Thank you Mark. Your happy experience listening to various Magicos and your satisfaction with the Carmes confirms,to me, the Carmel’s are definitely excellent. I appreciate the perspective you’ve given. Wishing you continued enjoyment :) Pete
