| Need display help Why don’t you mount it on the wall? I have done it a couple of times. That’s where a flat screen TV really shines. If you have to hire someone to do it for you, it should not take more than a couple of hours. Good luck. | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @coryb If you own the place, I would think the least expensive and most durable upgrade you can tackle now is to run a dedicated power line to your system together with a whole house surge protector. The whole thing will cost you less than $500 ... | |
| Current model DVD with 5.1 / 7.1 analog out - "Oppo Like" features A search on eBay shows a lot of Oppo players for sale. If you like your Oppo why not getting another one or even better a 203? They are available. | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them @tooblue Deepest condolences. You are one of the unlucky ones, we usually go first. Wish I could hug you. | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop @lanx0003 I was in your shoes too like @ghdprentice and @jbuhl except I didn’t give up my digital files collection for streaming. I stream in addition to listening to my collection. Do a search for Melco audio and familiarize yourself with t... | |

My mini was optimized with SSD and a better power cable, also the software was trimmed to eliminate all unnecessary processes. I enjoyed the hell out of it for a while. Then I got a Melc... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room You cannot go wrong with the Persona 3F. I would spend a couple of hundred getting a dedicated line to the room to make sure I got the foundation right. I can’t comment on the rest. Good luck although you are already lucky to have her. | |
| Break in time necessary and if so how long for Dynaudio Heritage Special ? Don’t do anything to mitigate until about 300 hours. Be patient. It’s going to change and hopefully for the better. Hang in there. | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Good job. Enjoy it. | |
| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? @jonasandezekiel Oppo made some nice multi-format players. Although they are out of business, there are plenty of used ones for sale like the BDP-205. I burned all of my CDs and SACDs into a Melco server so that I can get the best of both wo... | |
| Best new audiophile rock album Nice album. Listening to it on Tidal now. Wow! | |
| Best tutorial for cartridge setup Probably Michael Framer’s DVD. | |
| Coax or RCA question? The DAC in the 8802 leaves a lot to be desired. I used an external DAC with mine. Your mileage may vary as everything is a matter of personal taste. Ultimately, you are going to have to hear for yourself. | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable Anyway you could buy both, try each one, keep the one that you feel works best and return the other one. Everyone will have a somewhat different opinion on this. It’s not very clear cut. Sorry. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement This is out of my league financially at $40,000. Add to that another 40k for a Nordost Odin Gold power cord and …well it would have to wait until I win the lotto. |
