| A Budget Amp Comparison Maybe this will help get the thread back on track...for me, the big takeaway is that there can be a surprising sonic difference between budget amplifiers...therefore, listing as many budget amplifiers as possible (that people have lived with in th... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison @michaelgreenaudio.netI suspect that most of us, especially as the price goes up, are reluctant to make any changes to a piece of equipment that might void the warranty...and therefore, usually not knowing what changes would be problematic, we lea... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison As for the Vidar Halo comparison...you can read one such comparison on this website...they don't like the Halo but they really like the Vidar. Having not heard the Vidar, I can't comment..but obviously, as noted in my review above, I didn't hear ... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison Like many on this forum, I'm always interested in learning something new...so I googled "Parasound Parastic Oscillation" expecting I would find a number of articles and postings about the subject as relates to Parasound amplifiers...but I didn't. ... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison Not sure what happened but the removed posts, not posted by me, had suggested one of the oddysey amps, khatargo, and van Alstine amps, synergy 200, both in the $1000 range... both seem like reasonable suggestions for this thread. Hopefully someon... | |
| Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205 I'm told that Magnolia Best Buy Atlanta still has a few available and they will ship to wherever you are, here is the contact info: ask for Jim Richardson at seven seven zero three nine one four seven three twoI have no affiliation with Jim or BB... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? since a lot of the streaming apps are now part of the cable or satellite services, its probably less of an issue for many people.If you want to order a 205 from Magnolia Best Buy while they still have a few available (and I'm told they will ship f... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? Looks like the demand for the 205 has Oppo thinking about doing another production run...so, they are taking names to see if it is justified. Here is the link...delivery would likely be July/Augusthttps://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-205/lastb... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? I think it is commonly suggested that these decoding chips.... 9018, 9038, etc represent computing power that ultimately shows up in very good resolution and musicality but only if everything else in the signal control is well done: transformers,... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? Wow... I guess there was a run on 205s throughout the country... or they depleted the inventory in anticipation of the announcement. Revised question: now that the oppo 205 is no longer available, what is the best CD Player under $2k? | |
| Oppo Ceasing production It really makes no sense. When you have a name and a product that has market respect... there is marketable value! Why isn’t the audio products business being sold to another respected brand who would probably like to have oppo???Assuming they ac... | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? Here is the thing... if you try to upgrade your overall sound by getting better speakers and powering them with the Yamaha, they aren’t going to sound very good. If instead you upgrade to the Halo, you get an immediate improvement and can upgrade ... | |
| Question for tube aficionados It seems that the Telefunkens and Amperex are different enough so as to require an either/or choice. Some have said that the Telefunkens and Amperex are no better than new tubes like the psvanes... has anyone compared all three side by side? | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? No doubt, you have to listen to your system with and without and decide which sounds better...and in my own system, no doubt at all, much better with the preamp than Oppo direct to the power amp..in the mean time, just for fun, check out this vide... | |
| Tekton Design Lore Just a further thought...the Lore hasn't had a lot of "formal" reviews...but this one just popped up a few weeks ago.http://wallofsound.ca/audioreviews/tekton-design-lore-2-0-loudspeaker/Tim Smith does a pretty nice job describing the Lores streng... |
