DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media?
Wish I had some vinyl of that age, probably early 80 to 90 is majority of my collection.But yes there were a LOT of very poor digital conversions in the early days and yes some are near unlistenable to .If I see fair priced DVD a I may give one a ... 
DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media?
I do not believe I stated my opinion of vinyl...lol. Apart from that it is an obsolete medium from any technological viewpoint.Does that mean it is bad? Of course not just an observation.Do I own vinyl?Yes lots.....lol.But do I also appreciate the... 
DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media?
I was hoping somebody would think it had some redeeming features, after all if we just want to view media on a technical basis then vinyl should have been dead and buried decades ago.But obviously it is not because of its other virtues, perceived ...

That's about what I figured but always been curious.Guess I will stick with my Blusound full of ripped flac files and Tidal for now.Maybe the bluray audio has promise? 
Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction?
Not quite sure I would be anywhere near the price of a modwright 105, the only ones I have seen are in the 2500 range. I paid just 650 for my 105 in lightly used shape. Might be a better bet to just have my existing 105 "modded", will have to rese...

Does the modwright make that much difference?I ask as I have an oppo 105 and while a superb movie machine, its CD playback feels, well sterile for want of a better description. 
Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction?
Yea, I was looking at the 881 and 891, they were on the list.However my last mc was a 851 and the audio portion seemed very bright and forward in my system at least.But it is possible they made some improvement....

I replaced resistors for mids and tweeters at same time.The tweeter on one speaker is def bad, it sounds awful but needed to do all resistors first.I found a pair from Wilson Sofia 1 on eBay and also some focals but looking for info firstThank you 
Wilson Witt series 1 speakers, very odd problem, help!
Well finally got time to replace the resistors this morning, little surprised to see that for all the money Wilson charge they use plasterboard screws to hold it together with the square heads!Anyhoo we now have life at the mids but the tweeters a... 
Wilson Witt series 1 speakers, very odd problem, help!
Just and update so farI pulled one mid driver to test solo and lo and behold music so I am going to assume both mids are good.Spoke with Jerron at Wilson who confirmed that the likely cause is the resistor on the crossover and that they are access...

@KALALI     Along the same lines as audioconnections thought process I think and a fairly quick and cheap test for sure!Thank you!     
Wilson Witt series 1 speakers, very odd problem, help!
And I meant I was now going to call Wilson just to see how I get into to check resistors on the crossover without damaging the finish anywhereSo yes there is a lot of point to my post to see how others may have fared with the same speakers or good...

@audioconnection not quite sure what you mean by play it solo out of the cabinet?do you mean desolder it from the main wiring and just hook up a pair of speaker leads to it and play direct at very low volume from my amp?if so not a bad idea at all...
