Usability of Oppo BDP-93 without a monitor?
I do have one other question about this unit. If you choose to use an external DAC, do you lose the ability to play SACD’s or HDCD’s? In other words, I’m not clear where the circuitry to decode those formats "lives." Right now I have a Musical Fid... 
“Invest” in Tekton?
I know that I am ridiculously late to the party on this one, but for whatever it’s worth, I can’t agree more emphatically with the truth that you simply can’t know how a given speaker is going to strike your fancy until you have heard it in your r... 
Usability of Oppo BDP-93 without a monitor?
@stfoth and @chayro Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am wondering how you found the sound quality on this unit. I don't have any SACD's at this point but I do have a few HDCD's and having a "universal" player would open up some more possibilities.... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Just happen to be spinning Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits. :-) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
@mapman Sorry for your loss, too. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
@mapman  Thanks! Things are okay... lost my dad at the beginning of April, which has been very hard. But other than that things are good. Upgraded to the Spatial M3 Turbo S and I'm really enjoying them.

SOTA Sapphire speed issue
@lewm Can you point me to an example of an outboard motor controller? 
What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ?
 I know this is kind of an outlier comment and I don't mean to troll this thread, but let me suggest that if you're interested in hearing what the fuss over "boxless" speakers is about, you might look into an open baffle design like the Spatial M3... 
Audiophile Humor
I like the joke where one audiophile says to another, "I have this nightmare: I die and my wife sells off my stereo system for what I told her it cost."  :-D 
What kind of lamp to use with a stroboscopic disc?
@miner42 Would you be so kind as to walk me through how to use that app with a turntable? The documentation is pretty thin. Thanks! 
What kind of lamp to use with a stroboscopic disc?
@stringreen many thanks for the quick response. It's odd – I thought fluorescent was the case. So I tried a fluorescent desk lamp that I have and it didn't work. I will look into one of those night lights that you talk about. 
SOTA Sapphire speed issue
Hi, Y'all,Well, got the new belt from Donna and it seems to have solved the speed stability issue. The SOTA manual suggests replacing the belt after three years of normal use, and mine was around 8 or 9 years old! Now I'd like to get my hands on a... 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
What @joseph796 said! Spatial M4 Turbo S would sound great in that room. 👍👍 
SOTA Sapphire speed issue
Donna suggested starting with a new belt, so one is on the way. I'll report back!
