| Yamaha NS1000M Help, Advice, PLEASE I have owned a pair of black oak NS1000M since 1980. I still have them, and use them in my audio system in my study. I also owned a pair of Snell Type AIIIi for 20 years until I upgraded them in my main system with Snell XA Reference Towers. In my... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 - problem playing DTS-HD master audio Could you please list the two discs that your are having problems with, so others can check? Thanks. | |
| OPPO BDP 83 as Redbook player? I would agree with Reubent. The stock BDP-83 is an exceptional BR/TrueHD/DTS-Master audio/video player, which is what it is optimized for. As a stock unit, it is a "very good" CD/SACD/DVD-A player, but not exceptional. It isn't designed to be, at ... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tubes - Chinese or Russian? The ModWright tube rectified power supply PS 9.0 uses 5AR4. The original tube was the Sovtek, which went bad in less than a year. Dan Wright replaced it with a Chinese Ruby 5AR4. He said he had problems with the Sovtek. I have had the Ruby for abo... | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Ozzy, go to the BDP-83 page on the Oppo website, and select the Support tab. You will see the downloadable firmware versions and instructions:http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-83/blu-ray-BDP-83-Support.aspx | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Edorr, if you do get the Oppo BDP-83 now (7/09), please make sure you download the latest public beta firmware release and update the player before you do any testing. This firmware is necessary to fix some of the SACD/DVD-A issues. The player's S... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Snell Acoustics Type AIIIi. I had them for 20 years, until I replaced them with Snell XA Ref towers. They are one of the classic all time great speakers, and a good used pair can be had for under $1,500. One would need to spend 10 times that to ge... | |
| Ravel's Bolero I second the choice by Photon46. If you must have only one Bolero, It should be the MFSL Minnesota Orchestra/SkrowaczeskiSACD # UDSACD 4002. The SACD is superior to the CD version. | |
| Power Conditioner recommendation Jena Labs Platinum power conditioner. One of the best out there. You will hear the difference. Not cheap and not widely known, but it evolved from the Washing Machine 6.1 (Fundamental 6.1) which received very high reviews. | |
| 7.1 channel output vs. Coaxial digital Jcbower, sorry for not responding earlier. I have been very pleased with the Oppo. Blu Ray/HD audio performance is exceptional. There were still a few issues with SACD/DVDA which have now been fixed with the latest firmware release. It is now avai... | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum You could replace both of your players with the OPPO BDP-83 for $499. It will give you all the options.I have the OPPO BDP-83 - the best bargain in HiFi AV right now. I use the 7.1 out exclusively for everything - CD, DD, DTS, DD-HD. DTS-HD, SACD ... | |
| How Do I Play DD-HD and DTS-HD Soundtracks? I can confirm that it works. I have an OPPO BDP-83 (7.1 out) hooked up to my B&K Ref 50 S2 (5.1 in) using 5.1 analog, and I have set up the speaker settings in the player. I get DD-HD, DTS-HD, SACD and DVD-Audio this way. If your player has on... | |
| reasonable power chords - work with Bat VK600 Jena Labs Model One, or 916-15. I use all Jena Labs cables with BAT electronics - I found that combination to be magical. I have had 600SE, 51SE, 6200 and PK-10, all with Jena Labs pc's, Symphony ic's and Valkyrie speaker cables. Perfect match. | |
| 7.1 channel output vs. Coaxial digital Depends on the BD player. I use 7.1 analog from my Oppo BDP-83, for DD/DTS 5.1 as well as TrueHD/DTS HD Master 7.1. The AQ is much superior than the S/PDIF coax connection. I have also noticed that the output signal voltage is higher on the analog... | |
| captured cable to IEC conversion challenges Have you checked out Schurter 4735.0000 15A captured cable to IEC rewirable plug? They make some of the best connectors in the business, and their IEC connectors are used by several high end PC cable makers. It costs about $8. Google "schurter 473... |
