Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
n80,As gelle said, you really have no downside. Take the 105D if it's still available. I doubt if you will be disappointed, but if you are you won't have any trouble selling it. 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
Yes, right now I'm using it as a transport only with the Audeze LCD-XC headphones. Listening to SACDs, I plug it into the STAX SRM-T1S and use the DAC in the 105D. 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
I own many CD, SACD and BluRay players. I use my Oppo 105D for CD/SACD listening only. It’s my least expensive player but I am very thankful that I listened to the rave reviews and bought the Oppo. You won’t be disappointed if you buy it. I play i... 
Denon DRM-30HX cassette deck.
See if there is someone in your area that does powder coating. In short, they charge the metal and it attracts the color to the metal. The finished product will look much better than a spray can, but will cost more. 
Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed
condosound,Thanks for revealing your own political leanings. We don't care! This ISN'T a political forum, it's about stereo equipment and music. Let's keep it that way. 
Give Satanic Majesties A Chance
I liked "TSMR", but it’s true that not every album is a winner. I’d like to hear Mick and Keith's opinions of Mick's solo effort, "Primitive Cool." Ouch! 
Give Satanic Majesties A Chance
Sorry to disagree, but I like "Their Satanic Majesties Request." It may not be in my top five Stones album favorites, but I still like it. I don’t care if Mick did call it rubbish. I did some research and found that he did cash the check. I liked ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Natalie Merchant-"Leave Your Sleep" It's a CD, sorry! 
Stax ED-1 Equalizer. Comments?
frogman,Thanks for chiming in. Just a few comments. Like Al, I sold my ED-1 for $600 several years ago. As a longtime headphone guy, I'll reiterate my comment from 4-11 that moving up the Stax line is an eye opener. I loved my Lambda Pro headphone... 
RIP Art Dudley
The other day, I received the latest edition of Stereophile. I looked to see which reviewers are still left there reviewing equipment. My next stop was to turn to page 37 and read "Listening," Art Dudley's column. The next day, I read that he had ... 
Network Transport vs. CD Transport
"...I dumped everything USB, got rid of the music server that was in my audio room, and went with Room running on a Mac mini hooked up using ethernet to a ps audio DS sr dac."I read stories, like the ones above, and it reminds me why I am content ...

Good decision. Be safe!

Stax ED-1 Equalizer. Comments?
FWIW, I think anyone expecting the best out of their Stax system would be better served by moving up the Stax line than adding the ED-1 to the mix. I can say this with confidence, as I have owned the ED-1 and used it with my Lambda Pro and SRM-1, ... 
Well, I decided to get an Audio Illusion M 3A
Years ago, I bought an Audible Illusions 2D to pair with my Classe DR-15 amplifier. I sold it to buy a DR-6 preamp, but I missed the sound of the tubed AI. Recently, I bought an Audible Illusions Modulus L-1. I’m not a Stereophile or Absolute Soun...
