Oppo as transport
The auto play doesnt bother me, I like it. Theres no reason for me to put a dvd/cd in and not play it right after. It does bother me on my PS3 which does other things besides playing discs. 
Oppo as transport
I want to add, there are more things I do not like about the oppo. None of which take away from sound/picture, but troublesome none the less. Why not have a disable option in the menu for the volume control on the remote. Also why include those ho... 
Oppo 981 redbook sound
I bought a 981HD and tried it for myself. Awesome transport, and a great 2 channel performer as well. I cant see speanding more personally. In all the fairness, the PS3 was pretty much on par with its video playback with standard DVD's upconverted...

981HD. Bought it new from oppodigital.com Website. 
Good match for Anthem AVM 30
I have a Bryston 9bsst with my Anthem 30. I love the sound! However, after saying that, I would buy the A5 or even better the p5 for the money. 
Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts?
Other manufacturers offer double bi-wire cables that have two separate runs terminated together at the amp end, and some do that while using different gauge wires for LF than for MF/HFThis is what Im talking about, its still a giant loop, right? T... 
Opinions on Montana EPS MK 2 speakers
Im using Legacy Focus 20/20's, I love them. But one day they will need replaced(specially since the dome tweeter drivers are absolete with Legacy, just voice coils left). The Montana looks like a good side move, do they make there own drivers? 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
BlackflyYou are correct about Legacy. There is actually more to worry about. They do not make there own drivers, Paradigm does. Soemtimes, you cant even get drivers for the Legacys because they are no longer made by the 3rd party. But all in all t...

The 2 channel out is awesome. I dont expect anyone to trust this review completely, but this is my new reference player, it is amazing! 
Oppo as transport
Well, Ive been playing with my new OPPO-871 all day now. Ive only used it as a cd/dvd transport thus far, and have not played with sacd or dvd audio yet. That being said, so far the DVD picture is as clear as I have owned or seen on my TV set in s... 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
I have the focus 20/20's as shown in youe link. The 3rd switch does result in a decrease in mid bass presence in my room. Its very noticeable. You couldnt not hear it. As I mentioned in my large room, I thought this made the speaker sound lean, an... 
Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts?
Ive actually been thinking on this, how can a speaker be truely internally bi wired? This would mean they would have to touch on the inside of the posts, this would result in cross talk just the same as if you used jumpers on the outside of dual p... 
Opinions on Montana EPS MK 2 speakers
There price's look cheap compared to the drivers you are getting. If they sound as good as they look on paper, its got to be one of the best deals Ive ever seen 
OK I'm sold on interconnects, now speaker cable?
By some Van Damme cables and put some nice spades on them(bryston.ca) 
Rotel RB-1091 Mono's vs Parasound JC1 Mono's B&W
For the money you are talking Im going to give you some good advise that will make you very happy. Buy a Anthem P5. Statement sound and its like 400+watts x 5! Ive seen it as low as $2300 used, and as much as $2800. This is a steal!
