| oppo's volume control Yeah, I just looked up your track record on this forum, George. Seems you hate preamps, and have posted again and again on how bad they are, and don't seem to realize you're getting a bad reputation around here. You were wrong about Oppo's having ... | |
| oppo's volume control Oh, I see you are making more assumptions on my gear. Read this carefully, I get no noises on my Oppo 103 now. That's right, it's all good, I only had the issue after running it after a week using the analog jacks, but it hasn't been hooked up tha... | |
| oppo's volume control Again George, OPPO says not to use the 103 without a preamp, I suggest you phone them directly and they will set you straight. Here's part of an email a reader shared in which Oppo tells him to use a preamp.Erin,If you will be using the player as ... | |
| oppo's volume control The odd noises were with the Oppo 103, not 105 or 95. I'm not sure if you looked up the noises owners of the 103 have been having when the 103 is connected directly to amp, but several owners have gotten the same result as they try to use their Op... | |
| oppo's volume control The clicks and popping only starting occurring after the Oppo was connected as preamp for about a week. Which reminds me, I started experiencing hiss as well. It's hard to say how long the above quoted reviewers had their Oppos set up in preamp op... | |
| oppo's volume control To be more specific to my above comments, lots of Oppo 103 owners have reported pops and clicking when using the 103 as preamp. The 105, and 95 don't do this. The pop or click will occur when the Oppo is given a disc related command and stops, sca... | |
| oppo's volume control Oppos do not have an analog volume control. My experience with the 103 straight to amp was mixed. Oppo has said that the unit is designed to have an avr or preamp between it and the amp.My experience with the Oppo 95, which IS designed to run stra... | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21? A follow up as I thought I'd test the P7 in my theater system. I have an Opp 103 doing the processing and sending the video straight to the projector, taking out the Onkyo TX SR876 which was being used as the processor/preamp. The Parasound takes ... | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21? The P7 finally arrived, and I put it into my 2 channel system as listed above. I posted my results elsewhere, I hope it's okay to post them here too.I just finished a listening session of about an hour of everything from Yoyo Ma to The Mission sou... | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21? Thought I'd update this thread since I have a Parasound Halo A21. When I first got it 2 years ago I ran an Oppo 95 straight into it. The result was pretty good but any digital source with volume is going to have limitations at lower volumes, and p... | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? When I come across a vague question and I think I can help, I do. If not, I move usually just move on. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Yes, many electronics companies do not design their products to have the ground pin, and that is fine. The point is not whether or not the manufacturer includes one. They follow the various laws and safety regulations or else their products would ... | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? The Klipsh speaker brand makes some crisp sounding models. They have horns for tweeters which can be more forward sounding that way. Speakers have the largest influence on the sound by far, but generally speaking tube amps would be warmer and perh... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Removing the ground pin is a safety hazard! Try collecting on an insurance policy if it's found out your electronics all had their ground connections tampered with. Also, as an electrician, I've never heard of someone having their AC line polarity... | |
| Emotiva XPA-5 vs. Parasound A51? Glad to help out, let us know your impressions on the new amp. |
