| New or Old CD Player? I cannot recommend the Hegel Mohican...Like the rest of their players, it simply comes off as a rebadged Opera Audio Consonance CDP, typical of that outfit's efforts in the first 5 years of this millennium. At $5000, you're spending 2X - 5X for ... | |

| NAD 1600 Receiver @jmcgrogan2 you're right about the 7600. Thank you, John.Bought my NAD at Community Audio on Germantown Ave. You may have also spent a lot of time there? My first real high-end audio move, when I was a teenager in the late 80s. Getting the po... | |
| NAD 1600 Receiver I bought the 2600A power amp new, and still have it. Liked it very much back then, but not quite as much today.If I remember correctly, the 7160 was the receiver version of my amp | |

| Oppo Ceasing production Definitely sad news! Fantastic company making up to date, attractive, reliable products, and offering top notch service.Regarding some wondering there's more to the story, I think it's dead simple. A viable / sustainable business keeps going, ... | |
| NOS DAC Warmth One thing I forgot to mention, but as a number of products offer both oversampling and non-oversampling, with them comparing the two becomes as easy as changing the channel on your television | |

| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used Thank you, John.Still here for another week. Not so cold where I'm going. Believe it or not, but Vancouver has a lot of palm trees. Not native, of course, but they survive well enough | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used @tom_hankins +1 on the Kubala-Sosna's if they can fit into the budget.Personally, I'd also listen to what @jmcgrogan2 recommends, as I trust his experience and judgment | |
