| CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help. You can not go wrong with OPPO players...... they play virtually every format. I have the 103d and it's a good value for $600. The 105 is even better on the audio side if your budget allows | |
| Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers? I think Ncarv summed it up pretty well. The Concertos sound great, they are non fatiguing, you can listen to them for hours on end. They are smooth and more forgiving of mediocre recordings.The Revels have incredible transient response, they are s... | |
| McCormack LD-2 pre or a Mark Levinson? The LD2 is supposedly using a much better volume circuit than the RLD1 that it replaced.....I had a RLD1 and it was very good, I'm just not a fan of push button electronic volume control. That said I replaced the McCormack with a conrad-johnson ... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Blue Circle has been around for a while, probably not as well recognized but certainly good gear. Their new integrated amp with selectable tube/solid state input section looks pretty cool. | |
| 2 recent, weird and isolated issues with BD playback No experience with the McIntosh players but I recently upgraded the firmware on my OPPO 103d. Shortly after the player started acting weird, had I fully read the update I would have realized that it was imperative that the player be reset to its... | |
| Upgrade AVP or separate preamp/DAC for 2 channel? The conrad-johnson ET3 is an excellent preamp, it is a full featured remote unit that has a unity gain HT bypass......you have a great amp and speakers so something like it would be a good investment | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used PSB Platinum M2, fantastic speaker.....I wish I never sold mine . | |
| Amp choices That Aragon is still a nice amp, some would say better than the Parasound.....those speakers are definitely worthy of something like a Pass. | |
| Life without a remote About two years ago I was looking for a preamp to replace my McCormack RLD 1 preamp , which was no slouch to begin with. It was a full featured remote pre, although I never really like it's digital volume I did appreciate it having a remote. I... | |
| What does oppo stand for? I'm using a NAD M51, it's a great combo. The OPPO really is a nice machine, it replaced a Sony 9000ES and a Panasonic bdt500. The Panasonic was nice, it really sounded good through its analog outs for a BR player although I was using it with wi... | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? Currently three, my main listening room are Revel M106, in my workshop are some vintage KLH Model 2 Computer Controlled speakers which still sound pretty good, and some Boston CR 7 in my garage. | |
| Aesthetix Io transformer noise That's outrageous that they sent it back after an upgrade worse than before and expected you to pay for additional repairs......It's not the first time I've heard of them doing that to customers. Sorry to hear that , Asthetix is definitely a br... | |
| Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers? I've owned Revel M106 for about two years and they are incredible for their size and price. Give some Revels a listen. My Dad has a pair of Sonus Concertos and those are still a damn good sounding speaker, I could easily live with those too. ... | |
| Help with Cable Box Optical or TV Optical Connection to the DAC I tried connecting my Comcast Cable box's Toslink to my DAC and it would not work, regardless of the box settings it would only send 5.1 Bitstream to my DAC. That said I connected my TV Tomlin to the DAC. I set the TV to down mix to stereo and i... | |
| Hum from both speakers...This is New Please read. That's great to hear they took care of you. While this thread is fresh I wanted to share a weird experience I had recently. I was listening one night and every 20 seconds I heard a noise, not quite a hum and not quite a buzz. It was strange, it... |
