| I am sick of Adele I'd prefer to listen to Adele than Barbra Streisand, the diva from yesteryear. | |
| New TT -- $1k - $1500 Take a look at the new Technics 1200GAE table due out this summer. You can find a posting by mitch4t today on this forum with a link to more information. | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." (Quote)Warren Buffet (probably not an audiophile). | |
| Oppo 105D as media center "I have no idea what an unmodified Oppo sounds like. I've never heard one, but the reviews aren't very flattering."Every review I have read goes overboard about how good the Oppo units sound. I see modded Oppo units for sale on Audiogon and C****... | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh I have noticed it, here and on other websites, and I think it's ridiculous. But let's be fair. Most used audio goes for 10-25% of original retail. Collectible items are generally in the 50% range unless current stock. It's a comfort to know that b... | |
| Repair my Sony CDP 608 ESD? "I am buying a Cary 306 that's 4 years old, hopefully it will last me a good while"I congratulate you on deciding against repairing your Sony. FWIW, it's a familiar dilemma. If the Cary gives out, take a serious look at the Oppo 105D (or 103D). Ri... | |
| Oppo 105D as media center I also have an Oppo 105D. It sounded so good right out of the box, I never felt the need to consider modding it. Just my opinion. I used it as a source for my Stax 009 phones (via the balanced outputs). Now, I'm just using it for video. I don't k... | |
| Oppo 105D as media center IMO, mods are overrated. First, they're expensive. Second, they make it difficult for anyone else to ever repair the piece should it ever be needed. When I see modded equipment for sale it's usually prohibitively expensive due to the cost of the m... | |
| Krell KAV 300i won't Power On? Again, I would place a call to Krell. The 300i has been around for many years but someone there may be able to answer your questions and provide some insight as to how to fix your unit (if it can be fixed). It certainly can't hurt. The techs there... | |
| Krell KAV 300i won't Power On? A couple decades ago, I had a Krell CD-DSP (CD player). Like you, I have a lot of equipment and boxed it up and put it in the garage for a couple years. When I put it back into service, the transport worked (via the digital out) but it wouldn't fu... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear John Curl's Vendetta Research phono preamp. | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? My choices are: Oppo 105D (probably all Oppo players); Stax headphones, and Nakamichi cassette decks (mostly the higher end models). | |
| Groneberg cable good? Could he mean WBT connectors? Consider it part of the many typos. | |
| New format, dislike..... Mofi,Thanks for the tip on getting back to the home page. I wouldn't have found that in a hundred years otherwise. | |
| Preamp Bradley,I have often thought about buying a Nakamichi CA-7A preamp because of my confidence in their cassette decks (I've had many). Specifically, what don't you like about the Nakamichi? I'm just curious. I know it doesn't have the heft or build-... |
