| Acurus A200five I suspect that what you are thinking is the A200five is actually the A125x5 amp. It’s the same case size and same single shared power supply as the A200, but having to power five small amp boards that are bolted to the side heat sinks of the amp. ... | |
| Audiophile Fuses Zd542, Have you ever done a blind listening test with your fuses? Just like the difference with gold and silver plated spades on speaker cable,. I think you will come to the conclusion that it is all just Smoke and Mirrors! But like I said,if ... | |
| Suggestions for replacing Lexicon RV8 I don't think anyone responded because they don't have direct experience with your device.You mentioned "Logic7" as a plus for your current Lexicon. I think the only option I can think of that has reportedly pleasing music surround modes is the M... | |
| Oppo 105 with DIY LPM is a giant killer (no dac needed) @tweak1 - which specific Wire World cable did you use? They range from pure copper to silver-clad copper to pure silver. | |
| Acoustic Zen vs Audio Sensibility interconnects As far as standard interconnect go, Audio Sensibility has some of the absolute best solid-core silver interconnects (both RCA and XLR) if you are looking for something solid-core silver. However, there copper interconnects aren't that good and th... | |
| Oppo 105 with DIY LPM is a giant killer (no dac needed) In my own experience, and with my own external DAC, I have proven this not to be true. Or to put it another way, the "glare," probably produced by jitter, is taken care of in some good measure by the better clock in the DAC. Not to mention t... | |
| Oppo 105 with DIY LPM is a giant killer (no dac needed) IMO far more effective, and cost effective, to use an external dac than to modify an Oppo. It also preserves its resale value. That may be true for the analog section. However, there is still a "digital glare" present when using the Oppo strict... | |
| Oppo 105 with DIY LPM is a giant killer (no dac needed) auxinputthanks but is that a simple DIY? For the Oppo BDP-103, yes it was a simple DIY of just replacing the switching power supply module with a linear power supply from "oppomod.com" (just like you did with your 105). In my writing, I also up... | |
| Oppo 105 with DIY LPM is a giant killer (no dac needed) I see you have the 105. Even though the 105 have a linear power supply for analog output stage, it still uses switching power supply for feeding digital transport and DSP. Upgrading this switching power supply to a linear will really improves s... | |
| LG / Netflix - The Center has split ugh, sorry. I didn't read into your descriptions enough. It was just something I noticed because I'm a big netflix user, but I stream from an Oppo BDP-103. So, yeah, the LG Netflix app may not be that great, lol. | |
| B&W HTM1D3 vs HTM2D3 I own the smaller HTM2 D3 with the smaller 6.5" woofers. If you run your center channel full range and really turn things up loud on some movies, the smaller HTM2 will sometimes peak the woofers on movies that route extreme bass to the center chan... | |
| LG / Netflix - The Center has split I noticed this last year sometime. It really depends on who produced the original show and how they encoded it. Netflix may stream it as 5.1 Dolby Digital, but the orginal soundtrack was encoded as 2-channel Dolby Pro Logic. A lot of the foreig... | |
| Power Conditioner The 20PFI has a big toroidal transformer inside to help with blocking A/C noise. It also has the Power Factor Technology "current reservoir". This is a big capacitor inside the power conditioner which gives faster immediate current to your devi... | |
| YouTube video music Youtube videos actually have quite excellent sound quality, especially if you configure the player to do higher resolution such as 720p or 1080p. However, if you are using a streaming device such as Roku or Amazon Firestick FireTV, etc, the Youtub... | |
| A/V Processor and Amp for B&W speakers? I've tested the XMC-1 in my system. It's not bad per say, but the sound is rather closed in. It lacks dynamics/clarity. I kept trying to turn it up, but I felt like it was hard to understand the dialog and the impact just wasn't there. It's a ... |
