oppo 83 se or oppo 83
The device reviewed on Audiocircle was the Atlona HD570, the Oppo tested was the 83SE, with signal sent through a Weiss DAC2. Anyone interested really needs to read the review and corresponding thread. I was interested because I own an Oppo 83, pu... 
oppo 83 se or oppo 83
Of interest is a recent post on www.audiocircle.com under the HiRez Music Circle titled "take SACD and Bluray Hirez directly to your DAC". Its a review of a $219 de-embedder box with an HDMI input that then splits the signal, sending the audio via... 
Power Cords
PS Audio, like Audioquest and others, have me very concerned about buying at a huge discount due to Chinese knockoffs. How would you ever know? Even used from Agon, how do you know where a good feedback seller got his cable from, perhaps unknowing... 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
Mintzar, thanks for the explanation. I can understand your enthusiasum. It's all good! I've bookmarked Mojo Audio's website, as the product looks good, and at good prices. 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
I'm a bit dense, Rrog. Mintzar, I didn't realize you were plugging your own product. You really should make that clear when you make statements regarding how good Mojo Audio products are. A simple disclaimer would keep you on the up and up. That s... 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
Thanks for the recomendation, Mintzer. Unfortunately, on the VS115, the fuse holder endcap protrudes from the back of the amp right above the IEC receptacle. This prevents large, round cord ends such as Furutech and others, such as the one used on... 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
I'll second any positive comment regarding Mike Sanders. I still own a pair of Silver Mono 90's that have served trouble free for 18 years or so. Two years ago I called QS to inquire about retubing and Mike himself answered the phone. Very relaxed... 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
BTW Pubul57, you have owned some very nice equipment! Your input is valued, as it is a voice with far more experience to draw from than mine. Your input really has me thinking about kicking back and being satisfied with the factory cord. It defini... 
What power cord with your ARC AR VS 115?
Thanks for all the input, guys. Chashas1, howdy again. You are right, I'm still looking. From the input you all are giving me, I may end up wasting money. The amp sounds great, but I just can't help but wonder - more quiet space between notes, mor... 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
Hey Alexanderj, thanks for the input. Do you mean the immediate shoulder that is somewhat squared off that surrounds the insertive portion of the plug protrudes above the insertive portion by .3 inch? In other words, this is the clearance that wou... 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
Chashas, tell your friend to check out Shunyata. Their 20A IEC connectors are like the AR ends in conformation - plug body is small and square. They also make a 20A to 15A adapter, allowing use of a 15A cord, but also serving the purpose of moving... 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
Thanks for the input, Chashas. I may just go ahead and order a Wattgate, as it is the only one of the high end connectors that looks like there may be clearance. If there is sufficient clearance, it will be by a gnats ass. I can return it if it do... 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
OK, so what I really want to know, is does a Wattgate 20A IEC connector fit into the back of an AR VS115. With all respect Jea48, I honestly don't care about who currently owns AR. The VS 115 is a great sounding amp, I got a good deal on it, and I... 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
Thanks Chashhas, whatever input you can give me will be very helpful. If your friend's cord is heavy guage with an after market plug, please check on the make of the plug. I would like to just rewire the DCCA power cord. 
Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
Hey, Jea48.....The VS115 was introduced by AR in Jan 2008, so was underdevelopment for some time prior. It is a current offering - this one is less than 1 year old and I've owned it for 3 months. It replaced Qucksilver Mono 90's, and has been a cl...
