| SACD Sorry for your loss. Like other comments read, it depends on the SACD. Sound quality varies depending on how they were made just like cd's, but the good ones are excellent. As far as XRCD, I always found them too bright and unlistenable, but that'... | |
| RECORDS THAT HAVE IMPRESSED PEOPLE SO MUCH THEY BOUGHT MY STEREO Good music. Thanks. | |
| Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205 Thanks for letting people know. I registered. | |
| Amp Choice. Hi, I bought the S300 and have been using it for about 1 month. It sounded good out of the box, but after breaking it in it now sounds even better. I really like it and am keeping it. I have always been a tube guy and have never liked Transistor a... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production This is a shock to me also. I own a 105 and love it. I still buy physical media and own a high end 2 channel system. I purchased a 4K TV last summer and was thinking about buying a 205 later this year. | |
| Amp Choice. Thanks. I was considering doing that, and after reading about what you did I think I will do the same thing and try the S300 first. I'll let you know how it works out. | |

If you don't hear a difference than bet... | |
| Old or new gear The new Prima Luna amps have excellent reviews and are affordable because they are made in china. They are supposed to be built very well and have auto bias and protection circuitry so if a tube goes bad it won't damage the amp. I have heard them ... | |
| Amp Choice. That's what I was leaning toward because I was previously using a Sonic Frontiers power 1 Amp. Thanks for your opinion. | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death I agree with a lot of other comments. It has to grow on you. It's similar but different from Pink Floyd. | |
| Vintage tube suggestions You can get vintage EI tubes for the preamp at the Tube Depot. I use them in my CAT and at least in my preamp they sound good and last a long time. They're reasonably priced too. | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! An inexpensive Outlaw receiver is excellent for the price and has everything you will ever need. | |
| Budget Audience Clone? Glad you solved the problem. I use tube gear and some nos tubes do produce slight distortion. | |
| Budget Audience Clone? Audience are excellent but expensive cables. I am using Cardas Neutral Reference cables which I purchased new from the Parts Connection cheap because they are no longer being made. Different than Audience, but good. You can read reviews of the Ne... |
