| Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail While I don't think it is really cool to do so, sellers have a product that people want and have the "right" to charge what they want to. If buyers don't entertain the crazy prices, sellers will eventually have to relent and price "fairly".Bill | |
| Cambridge Audio goes high(er) end: Edge series Very interesting. I have been very pleased with every piece of CA gear I own and have owned. These Edge pieces look like winners but who knows.Bill | |
| Onkyo A-9010 I have never heard one of the newer Onkyo integrateds but had been very pleased with a 90's Onkyo Integra A-9711(80w/ch) that I once owned a few years ago. My guess is that the newer Onkyo "A" integrateds are similar sounding to an Integra DHC-40... | |
| Klipsch Heresy Speakers Circa 1976 ...Type HDBR I also have a pair of Heresy I's birch raw that I had the crossovers recapped/rebuilt. When I brought them home, I noticed one of the tweeters was not operating so I went on Bob Crites website to order a pair of his CT-125 replacement tweeters a... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for my Vintage Marantz 2270 and Miracord 50H MK II " Yes, I seen this too. But the fact that this receiver puts out the same amount of power into 4 ohms as it does 8 ohms tells me it has a very limited power supply. A 4 ohm speaker could suck the life out of this receiver in a hurry."NAD has be... | |
| If not an Oppo 205 then what? "Also Cambridge Audio as well are in the Oppo’s price range for universal players.""CAMBRIDGE and OPPO share the same DNA with the same motherboard"Before I purchased my current Oppo 105, I owned a Cambridge Audio 751BD which was a great performer... | |
| Oppo 203D or 205D? I say whichever you can afford or what is available if you want to buy now.Bill | |
| Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday... @unsound,I think you are correct with some of the mfr's out there. CA has chosen to just share the same MediaTek platform for video and GUI and add their own audio tweaks to the mix. Not sure about the other guys.Bill | |
| A passing of a valued Audiogon member ID "Ferrari" Wow, thanks for the info. Very sad indeed. He was surely valued here on this forum and would bet as a friend also.Bill | |
| What position is your balance control set at and why? At around 11:00 because my main listening position on my sofa is slightly off center to the right.Bill | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? A Cambridge Audio CXHD(same MediaTek platform) for multi purpose or a quality dedicated CD player id music only. I had a CA 751BD before my Oppo 105 and it was a great sounding player. I only switched because of a great used deal on C-list and t... | |
| Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday... @unsound ,Not really Oppo's guts but the same Mediatek chipset that is common to Oppo, Cambridge Audio, and a few more I think.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/oppo-bdp-105-versus-cambridge-azur-752bdMaybe CA will continue to mfr and sell th... | |
| Emotiva XPA-3, Anthem 325 or Anthem MCA 30 I say either Anthem MC-30 or 325 due to very low noise floor, reliability, and overall build quality.Bill | |
| Outlaw 7125 VS B&K Reference 127.7 S2 IMO, both are well designed amps with impressive guts. The Outlaw uses bipolar output transistors while the B&K uses mosfets. The Outlaw has a bit more neutral sound signature while the B&K is on the "warmish" side, IMO. I don't know an... | |
| Klipsch Speakers, Where Should I Look For The Best PRices I second the RF-7II/RC-64II combo but you could try with your RC-64 v1 to see how well it will timbre match. IMO, no need to swap out your RS-52 surrounds. Definitely get a better sub than your current RW-12D.Bill |
