Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
The Oppo 95 and later are good units (I have the 105D and have heard others in the past) but they are engineered to a price point which they've done the best to maximize ROI at that price. Owning the 105D I can tell you it excels at video and does... 
Leaving feedback
Agree that only way to make this happen is for the seller to mark the item paid; if they did not do a pre-pay on the fees, they'll then be assessed. Otherwise there is no way to make this happen. Overall, the approach freddy50 has taken is very ri...

Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved
Greg Allman Band's the song Queen of Hearts on the album Laid Back is an under-mentioned jewel as well.  I would not say the album does not get the respect it deserves but the R&B performance he lays down for this song is nothing short of amaz... 
Need a 3 meter IC- not bright- suggestion please
VH Audio's Symmetry All-Copper XLRs are a good choice; I've had them for years and have a 4-meter pair that is fully broken in that could be available for sale at a very reasonable price; contact me for details.  These cables are full range but de... 
Amp recommendation in the $6000 range
Edge NL 12.1 (used market) or Maker Audio NL14 Stereo (if you can find one used); outstanding amps and do not sound SS at all! 
Seller fraud: any lawyer/audiophiles in NY state?
I believe this bad actor and friends are back under a new user ID out of Uniondale (L.I.) NY.  I reported them for the potentially fraudelent ad they placed for a P02 and D02 unit combo using the SAME PHOTOS that they ripped off Yahoo (Aleado) Jap...

why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Good comments earlier in the thread about personal preferences, music listened to, sonic signature desired and system synergy.  All of this is so purely subjective 90+% of the time that I think we all MAY forget that from time to time.  There are ...

Audiolabrynth: saw your question on the Tara thread asking about what all my system is composed of in total; it's posted here under All-Out-Assault under my userID. Please feel free to check it out and also please (several of us have suggested thi...

An auction for the major groupings in the list above. I don't have time to post over 100 separate ads unfortunately.... 
Speaker upgrade
I don't know what your budget is but see a fine list of speakers at varying price points up to $20K+. If you want great speakers with all-around performance including home theater and 2-channel listening for rock, prog-rock, etc...as well as class...

Thank you...I have 2 different versions/editions of the Solti Ring (and several others) on CD all remastered. They are very good indeed; i have not picked up the DVD+BluRay version as I do not have a universal player upstairs with the 2-channel sy...
