Review: Theta Compli Blu vs Oppo BDP-83 SE
For what its worth, the MSRP price of the Compli Blu is half the MSRP of the Compli. I'd buy the Oppo 83 in a New York minute if I could find someone that could replace the coaxial out with an AES/XLR connection. I've asked a few of the modificati... 
Hats off to Seasick Steve
This guy is crazy like a fox. I ordered one of his CD's. If the music is half as good as the samples, I'll buy more. Great Post. 
Mini Utopia
I own the Micro Utopia's and they're on 26" high Sound Anchors. For me, the 26" height brings the tweeter close but not level with my ears. You really can't go wrong with Sound Anchors and being able to choose the platform dimensions to match your... 
Review: Theta Compli Blu vs Oppo BDP-83 SE
Cappuccino... I own a Compli and have been toying with the idea of buying either a Compli Blu or the OPPO SE.Since you owned a Compli at one time, can you briefly compare the Oppo and the Compli Blu against the Compli? Thanks 
Most involving and thrilling moviemusic?
"Dark Streets"... the best DVD New Orleans sound track ever. The CD of the sound track is OK but it doesn't include the majority of the music that's on the DVD. 
To big to fail? What road are we headed down?
If you think CD's are a pain to open, try opening a toy!

Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
Phusis... I’m sorry if my comment offended you. What I was trying to say is it’s refreshing to hear a real world owner comment that a product is actually as good as it’s reported to be.

Phusis... Your above rave review of your Raidho Ayra C-1.0 speakers is pretty much a mirror image of what other published reviews say. Congratulations!I’m wondering how much of what you’re experiencing is simply the product of listening to a $17,0... 
Focal Micro be/PASS Aleph J
My Micro BE's are running with a Theta Intrepid 5 channel amp. I found it advantageous to run the Micro's with a subwoofer crossed over at 60 verses the recommended 80 (JL Audio F112).The Micro’s really settled in after I installed the last PC to ...

They could be the Wharfedale W70 speakers with the Fruitwood cabinets. 
Theta or Wadia
Kenscollick... Thanks for the heads up on the Model Release Date information on Wadia's web-site. By the way, nice system. 
Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
I'll only go so far as saying my Focal-JMLabs BE Micro Utopia monitors have helped to "slow down the quest". The build quality of these is such that it has to be seen to be believed. Coupled with my JL Audio F112 Sub, it's hard to imagine replacin... 
Theta Xtreme D-2 DAC Card
I can't directly answer your question, but maybe the following will help. If you look at Page 110 of the Casablanca II Owners Manual, you'll find reference to eighteen (18) possible configurations for the four (4) "unmarked" Casablanca II Extreme ... 
outriggers setup.
Interesting thought but with felt pads between the speaker and the outrigger, I'd be carefule about tightening the bolts to the point of accidently tearing the bolt out of the speaker.
