Check this system out!
@snilf    At first I wondered also about the room, then I read the article and realize that this gentleman is no novice. By the way, his equipment is way more expensive than half a million. He most likely spend more time in front of his gears th... 
Check this system out!
I like this guy. I agree with his take that: ”Yet, unlike those who like the nostalgia and what some describe as the “warm” sound of vinyl, he said today’s improved digital formats are by far the superior form of sound.” When done right, obvious... 
ripper to pair with Melco N1A/2
You will definitely be happy with the Melco. I have one that I modified a little bit with SSD drives, one of the HDs failed one day. I have been ripping with my Widows PC and haven’t heard any difference when compared to the audio files that I buy... 
I'm not sure what I need
You need a pre-processor and some more speakers for Dolby digital and probably a decent subwoofer. Three additional speakers and a sub will take you to Dolby 5.1. For Atmos you would need six more to get to 9.1. Good luck. N.B. You will also need... 
Subs and room nodes
Subs in a system is unfortunately not a fashion statement. Going sans sub might look chic but might sound anemic. It’s about frequency response at the listening position and your room will have a lot to say about that. Your dealer will most likely... 
Subs and room nodes
Hi Ron Congrats on the new room. How many subs do you presently have?  
Satisfying time waster

Power Conditioner question
Give it a try and please let us know. Only you can determine that. Can you try the Transparent and return it if you are not satisfied?  
Looking for a new digital cables. Has anybody heard these?

@big_greg  I hope that you'll reconsider the way Captcha is currently being deployed.  Having to click on pictures every time I post is ridiculous.  I will stop using this forum if this is a permanent "feature".  Hi  I don’t have to click on ...

@bugredmachine  How do you quote somebody's post and put it in yours in quotations appropriately? You mean like this? Or: ”what are talking about Lewis “ To quote someone you copy the quote and click on the “ icon then paste it after the gre... 
What are the best settings for Oppo 105-D as a stereo player.
@elliottbnewcombjr gave you some good advice. The 105 is a very good player. The settings are not complicated. Connect it to a monitor and go through them one by one. It explains the options. Be patient, you will get the best of it. Congratulation... 
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
When choosing new speakers, what matters the most to me are the specs. I need to be able to anticipate how the speakers will sound in my room. Speaker design is not alchemy nor voodoo. It is a well understood science. Life is short, I have no time...
