Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE
I have the non-SE version coming and this is by choice, as this version has the better chip, at least as used in the Exemplar modification which is what I am getting. 
Changing to bookshelf speakers. Recommendations?
I have heard all those you listed and know the LSA1 Statements to be better. Since you say bookshelf speakers and these are all stand speakers, I assume this is a useful recommendation. I have a very nice home system but am going to be spending 4 ... 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Has anyone had problems with the record not rotating at the start of the clean cycle? I am sliding the record into the Vinyl Cleaner until there is some resistance and rotating the record counter clockwise to get the white leaves upward, but still... 
What is the best DAC ever made?
A curious hypothesis-only those who live in "third world" countries can come up with the same dumb ideas that came out of our auto industry. I don't expect that you have ever heard the APL equipment. 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Thuchan, thanks for the reply. Not having seen a demonstration of the unit, I was thinking that the liquid was pumped out of the chamber and that I might have to remove the filter and pour the water in there. I learned, however, that you can just ... 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Guys, last night I was ready to try the Audio Desk but found nowhere did it say how to fill the unit. Do you fill through the filter hole with it removed? 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
To find an available outlet, I used an old MPC to drive one SR power cord and also my SR D3 digital cord. You don't want to do that! Now it drives two SR power cords and the D3 has its own charger.This impact of cable chargers just amazes me.

Chosenhandle, in the 70s I bought a Keith Monks cleaning machine. It worked quite well but took a long time to do so, which is the cost of a pivoting arm system. I have since been through all varieties of rcms. Then I got one of Lloyd Walker's del...

Is there a better quality Firewire cable?
Thanks for this, Bryoncunningham, they look good and not too pricey. Interestingly I did not find them in a Google search. 
Is there a better quality Firewire cable?
Br3098, I will also quote one of my physics professors, "If you think we fully understand nature, you will not make a good physicist. Always keep your eyes open for anomalies."Pardon me if I respond no further. Life is too short. 
Is there a better quality Firewire cable?
Krell man, well said. I was hoping to avoid the "bits are bits" discussion. 
Is there a better quality Firewire cable?
Gtfour45, these are certain expensive Firewire cables. It looks like they are only available in 6 pins, and I need 9 pins Firewire 800 into my Mac. Did you get them from Japan? 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Tonight I added a fourth Galileo MPC to my system. The first three were: 1) on the PowerCell; 2) on the dac to preamp Apex ics; and 3) on the Apex speaker wires. The fourth went on the Precision Reference ics between the preamp and amp. I merely r... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Dave_b and Der, I'm afraid one cannot give in credibility to your snide remarks. If you cannot hear the benefits, I'm sorry!Bacardi, perhaps Ted will answer your question. I have only used them on the PowerCell, speaker wires, and interconnects.
