| OPPO or Something Else? On the audio only side, I didn’t think much changed after the BDP 95, based on reading about how the chips were deployed (you can’t really access the internal DAC itself, something you can do on later models?). I bought one used from someone who I... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Love Terry Reid. His records aren't getting easier to find. Last time I saw him, he still had his voice, he's a bit mad, but very charming. He must have been a piece of work back in the day. | |
| Can an HDMI output be converted into something a USB input would accept? Isn't the reason that, at least when this was on an SACD format, it was encrypted so all hardware had to match the 'closed system' protocol with no digital output that could be accessed outside of that closed loop? E.g., like original and Blu DVD? | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 Enjoy them! | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system This is why calling is better. In the old days, we used carrier pigeons, but what a mess! :)I did business with them-- Robert Stein there is a good guy-- | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 I haven’t heard the speaker since its heyday in the mid-’70s. I remember one favorite amp was the Ampzilla- it had oodles of power and didn’t sound as nasty as a lot of early solid state. The speaker seemed to benefit from a large solid state amp,... | |
| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? I agree that where possible, a dedicated line is the starting point. Because we must share ground with the main household system, noise can still infiltrate, but it can go a long way toward isolating the system AC from the anomalies of the rest of... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system If you were an analog die-hard, it would mean a rotary dial phone.Agree about The Cable Co. precisely because what works for one person in their system given their preferences may or may not be the "right" choice for you. As to "right" there are a... | |
| SW1X Audio Design DAC II Absolute Top Tier Ref NOS DAC Very cool. I’ve been a vinyl only guy forever, and only recently decided to introduce digital into my main system. I am very pleased with the Border Patrol and this looks like a real step up in the same direction, at what appears to be a fairly re... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system The Border Patrol DAC is, in my estimation, a bargain for the sound it delivers. I am not comparing it to other DACS, but to a high level vinyl front end over a system using Lamm SETs and Avantgarde horns. I have used it in a couple of configurati... | |
| Mac Mini @miner42 - only for set-up as I understand it. You run it ’headless’ and depending on software, you operate it with a wifi remote control, e.g. Audnirvana, a software program designed for Mac computers (but now apparently on the verge of releasing... | |
| DSOTM on Vinyl @slaw - i’m not even sure what the "current" remaster is. As you I think you know, I’m not a fan of a lot of the old MoFis because the sound quality is all over the place and is often inferior to the standard issue of a given record. Some are kill... | |
| DSOTM on Vinyl If you are shopping, look for the UK A3/B3 deadwax on the UK pressings. It is a warm good sounding record (i haven’t compared every pressing) and is less grainy sounding than the A2 matrices (which were on the original solid blue triangle copies t... | |
| Integrating an Oppo 205 into system and need pre-amp and connection advice I just plugged an older BDP 95 into a small HT system and a vintage hi-fi system in my front parlor by:hdmi 1 out from the Oppo directly to the TVhdmi 2 out from the Oppo to feed the HT pre-pro for soundanalog stereo outs from the Oppo to the prea... | |
