| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? Sorry to hear that, although I never used my 105 for streaming, I was relieved to read that it still functions as a player. I have been concerned about losing this unit if it ever fails. I use mine primarily as a BluRay, Cd Transport and for SACD ... | |
| Digital XLO signature RCA cable : Changing one end to BNC I agree, keep the cable as is. I have been told that by many dealers that would benefit from sending the cable in for re-term. I am using Audioquest adapters with good luck although had I known Cardas made one, I may have gone with Cardas. | |

| First impressions of the Audio Desk Record Cleaner Congrats macg19. I have had mine for about 3 years and love it. I had a VPI 16.5 prior and it was a great machine but the AD just make is so much easier and does a much better job, in my opinion of course. So far I haven’t had any issues and the o... | |
| Digital coax cables You could try the Cable Company and their lending library. Talking to the rep there, they can make suggestions once they know your system. The streamer and DAC are a big part of the overall equation. | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Wow, what a double edged sword this “obituary” has turned out to be. I must say I never knew anything about his life apart from music. Still, all I can say is I hope he earned salvation with time served. And that his name always made me so happy w... | |
| Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom? I was at a audio dealer when a customer in his 80’s with hearing aids wanted to audition 2 pair of speakers in an A-B set up. I stuck around thinking it would be interesting to see his reaction. He’s was a kind man and very engaging in music discu... | |

| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' Great album, great band, but it was always my understanding that Wish You Were Here was the unsung tribute to Sid Barrett. When I was young and the album was new we thought it (DSOTM) was the belated soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz, with a little r... | |
| McIntosh preamps I once had a C39 with my MC352 and it was a good fit. But McIntosh is always improving so a newer pre might help. Are you considering tubes or wanting to stay solid state? If you are, and it sounds like you are, just using 2 channel there are a nu... | |
| Bad experience with an electrician Shocking Erik, just shocking! | |
| Anthem vs Arcam I can only add my experience with Anthem, I had a D2v that I sold and bought a Marantz 8805. I am not sure if you are using this for 2 channel or not, but the Marantz is much more musical and warmer in sound than the Anthem. I mainly use my Proces... | |
| Anyone try this combo: Rogue Audio Ares II Magnum with Lyra Kleos miijostyn, thank you it feels good I have had the Kleos for quite a few years now and have always liked the Lyra sound. And it does sound good with the Linto, but hoping to find more performance with a new phono stage. I wish we a had a Sutherla... | |
