| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? @uberwaltz...…………………………………..I don't get it either as I have never had trouble getting bass in my room. Even the Conrad-Johnson 200wpc power amp I purchased for them didn't make them sound better. I am clueless why. The guy I bought them from to... | |

| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? I have personal experience with the VR-33 speakers. I saw all the ads how a $3750 pair of speakers are as good as speakers costing $15,000 because they are sold direct. I read a couple of professional reviews, one by Greg Weaver and another fr... | |

| All Quiet on the Oppo front? @kpetrich...................................i put put the order in this morning. I still think it to be a frivolous purchase because this will be strictly for Blu-Ray, nothing else. I already have an Esoteric and McIntosh SACD players. My wife... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I believe it was at least a couple of weeks after they announced they were ceasing production. I can't find my first email on when I originally signed up but I did confirm on May 9. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @gdnrbob>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I understand that and I hope everyone either gets their refunds or merchandise. As soon as I realized that Schifter was the go to person, ... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I spoke too soon! My wife talked me into purchasing one. She said I would regret it later if I didn't get one.. I just hope it doesn't need service and parts are available for it. I would assume if Oppo is going to service them, then they must... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I just just received my offer in an email from Oppo. Thinking of passing on it. I have until 11:59pm sept 14 to decide. I’m thinking it’s kind of frivolous at this point. | |
| Tekton Double Impact vs. Vandersteen 2ce sig II Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Tekton uses some Pro Sound woofer in the DI speakers. I know the Pendragons I tried had 10 in pro sound woofers. I also owned for 10+ years Vandersteen 2CE signatures (not the sig 2) and you can’t beat the qu... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? My first high end system was a GAS Son Of Ampzilla amp, Kenwood LO7C preamp, Sansui tuner, Teac A450 Cassette deck, JVC direct drive turntable with a Shure V15 cartridge and a pair of Ambient 66 floor standing speakers. Sadly I sold the system to ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @amg56......................................I commend you sir, you are one of the most patient audiophiles ever. I can’t believe how many excuses Schifter has given regarding refunds. If I had been one of the many unlucky audiophiles that boug... | |

| All Quiet on the Oppo front? If I should get the email that my 205 is ready to be shipped, I will probably decline it. I won’t be using it for anything more than Blu-Ray and since my Samsung 55 inch TV isn’t 4K, it’s overkill. I won’t be using the dac as I already have an... |
