| $2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105 Why not go ahead and get the Oppo 105 and see for yourself how it sounds? Oppo give you 30 days in-home trial period, avail yourself of that. Who knows, maybe it will be just fine right out of the box...-RW- | |
| how much did you spend on rear surround speakers? Timbre matching is greatly underrated. I found that when I added the Gallo Ref. AVs as surrounds for my Gallo Ref. 3.1s the sound improved dramatically...RW | |

| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA So you gushed over the Emotiva amps and have now had a change of heart and have decided to gush over the Parasound amp. Interesting. And you go to a a show and listen to other amps that are not connected to your system and you're able to tell that... | |
| Who believes that Robert Plant I saw Led Zep in 1972 at the Balto. Civic Ctr. and they opened with "Immigrant Song". Plant absolutely *nailed* the opening wail, and that is no small feat of you know the song.I would also have to say that the Who's Roger Daltrey and Free/Bad Co.... | |

| NYC Repair of Revox B795 direct drive turntable If you end up looking for a replacement, keep your eyes out for one of the Denons from the early 80s - DP-57/60/62/70/80. These were *magnificent* DD turntables and were very well built. And they were damn good looking, too!!-RW- | |
| High End Audio Market Oppertunities And please, oh please, provide the option of some nice wood cabinets like *every* piece used to offer. Think walnut, oak, rosewood, and black ash. This will truly set your products apart from every other mfgr. out there...-RW- | |
| How important for surrounds to match fronts? Having surrounds whose timbre closely matches that of the fronts is a pretty big deal, IMHO. The improvement in the transition from front to back is noticeable - the entire soundfield becomes more cohesive and natural.I used Gallo Ref. 3.1s from m... | |
| Refined SS Stereo pwr amps under 10K? You might consider checking out the Emotiva XPR-2 amp. It is very powerful, has gotten great reviews, and comes with a 30 day in-home trial and a 5 year warranty...http://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/xpr-2-RW- | |
| Improvements to OPPO 105 DARBEE? Unless you are watching a VERY large screen (over 80 inches) or sit VERY close to your TV (less than 4 ft.), 4K offers nothing of value. 1080P looks terrific and is much less expensive than the current 4K units...RW | |
| Headphones and Hearing Loss Zd542 wondered: "Why not get custom fit, inner ear headphones?"Probably because he already has hearing aids in his ears and doesn't want to hassle with removing them to listen to music. The Sennheiser Momentum recommendation sounds (pun intended) ... | |

| Smaller House/Equidistant Side Walls Impossible Oh man, the L65 Jubals were my first really good speaker - I LOVED those darn things. And they sure held their value thru the years.I have since switched to Gallo Ref. 3.1s and am quite happy. They are not quite as in your face as the Jubals, but ... |
