| Hi-res digital audio vs sacd The actual recording can either be good or not so good no matter the format. It depends on the original. Also, in the case of remastered works, the engineer doing the remastering make a difference also. I my limited opinion. I have SACD, DSD, FLAC... | |
| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! Consider your budget, B&W CM5 S2. I have them in 14 x 24 room, SS amp 300 watts per channel. Overkill perhaps but they play very loud and sound quite good. Mine are the "Rosenut" finish and look great! Are there better speakers out there? Sure... | |
| Vinyl VS Digital Perhaps it has been asked and answered before, but is it possible to achieve as good a sound stage/separation of instruments spending $1,000-$1,500 on a turntable/cartridge as it might be spending that amount or less on digital? | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) naimfan & 68pete;This is great info from you both!naimfan, did you play any SACD disks via the OPPO or just regular Redbook CDs?I've also heard that there is a big difference between the RCA out & balanced out on OPPO 105.I'm wondering if ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) @wcc10 - what preamp did you try? Did you end up getting that Krell? Or was it something else? One you were aware of not in USA. It had issues and the way it was set up damaged one of my speakers!I don't want to go into too many details here o... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) I must say that I only listen with headphones when I am forced to or doing some testing since I got my Canton Ergo floor standers. Ther is a similar pair on E bay Thanks for the input. I agree, headphones are essential for serious testing. I ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) wcc10, I'm surprised the discussion seems to focus on the sources and pre. Maybe the B&Ws are nor a good match for the rest of your components and/or room. Do you have a good set of headphones? If they solve your problem it is not the sour... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Yes, the JC2 is above my budget. I had thought about some of the used Parasound preamps offered here on this site. Always heard good things about the brand.I was thinking fuses for the XSP-1 but at $50.00 -$75.00 a copy I couldn't justify. Glad t... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Great! Good searching! I'm waiting to hear back from the seller. | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) The Ebay seller is saying that the Krell RC codes are available for programmable remotes. I would ask him -specifically- where to find these. Thanks for that info and for searching for Krell RC codes. I will definitely ask him where he think... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Between the $1999.00 STP-ES preamp and the highly recommended $1099.00 Krell KAV-280p at this point I think I would rather save the $900.00 and go with the Krell.I did email the guy in Canada and he assured me that since the Krell is made in ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) I wrote this right before you posted your last entry, auxinput. Sorry I didn’t see your post first!We may be getting too far into the tube realm and away from balanced (or at least XLR) connections. I mentioned the Audio Research LS-2 as it is con... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Thanks for the input. There is a Audio Research LS-2 available here on Audiogon that I have my eye on. Gets great reviews and there are upgrades available the supposedly make it even better. Any thoughts?https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-au... |
