| What 4K blu ray player to buy. 203s and 205s are still available.Failing that Sony ES UBP-X1000ES; there are also Yamaha and Cambridge Audio players in the same price bracket. | |
| Oppo Ceasing production When you look at the pittance you need to spend to get a reasonably competent BR player from Sony or similar, perhaps it's explicable that they weren't getting sufficient market share. But it's still a sad day. They were diversifying, etc. Unti... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants Sigmas EVO3.BTW, it's definitely, absolutely not either DC on the line or a ground loop. I've also had every breaker in the house turned off save the one controlling the receptacle the CMII was plugged into. Rogue asked about the sensitivity of ... | |
| Amp pairing for Proac Studio 3’s Depending on budget, Belles Aria, or the forthcoming Virtuoso. | |
| PC or Line Conditioner OP: the "current" P10 and P5 units are discontinued. They will very soon be replaced by new, "better" and more expensive units. Any dealerships with brand-new P10s or P5s should be selling them at a significant discount. So 3.5K is only the ori... | |
| max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation? OK, so three posters and four answers. Isn't the internet great!-optical-HDMI-XLR-coaxBack of the Oppo unit. I don't see XLR.https://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-203/blu-ray-udp-203-Images.aspx As for HDMI, Google tells me inputs are rare on ... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants @hifiman5 Well, there’s another part to this story. I ordered the P5 a couple of months ago, directly from PS Audio. There was a delay of a few weeks before it was shipped. While I was waiting, I stumbled over the fact that the P10 and P5 were bei... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants I tried out a P5. On the Sinewave setting, it actually added a low-level whine (a little higher in pitch than a hum) to what you could already hear from the speakers when no music/ear by drivers. Multiwave 1-6 progressively reduced it, till it w... | |
| Dynaudio x38’s Mk1 or Mk2. KT-88s or KT-120s? Any which way, I see no problem. (Own a Rogue and auditioned the X’s.) Going the gently used route, you might make your $$ go even further, but then there are logistical problems with actually hearing the speakers be... | |
| My Feelings — and, Incidentally, the iFi Audio iPhono2 You should post this too over on AudioCircle, where iFi (the company) have a direct and active presence. | |
| Primare--shrinking US distribution? Found it! One of the very few dealers in the US:http://trueaudiophile.com/primare-cd-player-cd35-reference-level-component-prima-option/ | |
| Question for tube aficionados @schubert Very interesting, makes a lot of sense, and explains the situation.@rvpiano Have you ever thought about stepping up to the Bel Canto Ref600M's? From everything I've read, they could be your dream amps. | |
| Torus or Furman power conditioners which is better? It’s all in the quality of the manufacture of the toroidal that acts as an isolation transformer. Look at the difference in price between the Q and R lines of Equi=tech. Torus uses Plitron toroidals, and Bryston uses Plitrons everywhere, as I thin... | |
| Rookie Question, maybe Speakers ratings are always approximative, just look at any measured impedance curve. They give a rough idea of how hard they might be to drive. I doubt many amp's 4 and 8 ohm hook-ups are exact either. The obvious thing is to start with 4 to 4... | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? @audioconnection +2. You need to think about the quality of the electronics involved, as well as issues like impedance matching. Use your ears, but it's extremely likely you'll prefer avec pre-amp. |
