| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion Have the OPPO 105 going on 5 mos., running in a 2ch system, no video.

| HDCD, any new titles coming out? Here's one for you and it's an incredible CD: Brian Wilson's "Smile". Well worth the wait. | |
| reactions to SMILE? Fantastic album, well worth the wait. Too bad it will not have the impact that it should've had all those years ago. Good listening session of Smile, Orange Crate Art, Imagination, Pet Sounds and finally Sgts. Peppers last night. They don't make '... | |
