Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria?
Well if anyone has a complete, properly working Oppo 95 for ~$300 + shipping, I'll take it! 
What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more
I tell people that I not only listen to the music, I listen to the "sound of the music" and the equipment facilitates this. 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
If/when you get his 205, I'ld be interested in your 95.  Thanks. 
Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?

A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency
I think you missed the point.He uses two 4 ohm speakers to produce 8 ohms or two 16 ohm speakers to produce 8 ohms.  Nothing else matters!If the amp put out 100 watts at 8 ohms, it does so into either of the two noted loads..., because either load... 
A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency
If the amp puts out x watts at 8 ohms, and you split it between two speakers totalling 8 ohms, each speaker sees the half the power and puts out the same dB level.  When you add them together, the net result is the same.That said, I would think th...
