| Oppo Gone - Now What? Looks like the demand for the 205 has Oppo thinking about doing another production run...so, they are taking names to see if it is justified. Here is the link...delivery would likely be July/Augusthttps://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-205/lastb... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? I think it is commonly suggested that these decoding chips.... 9018, 9038, etc represent computing power that ultimately shows up in very good resolution and musicality but only if everything else in the signal control is well done: transformers,... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? Wow... I guess there was a run on 205s throughout the country... or they depleted the inventory in anticipation of the announcement. Revised question: now that the oppo 205 is no longer available, what is the best CD Player under $2k? | |
| Oppo Ceasing production It really makes no sense. When you have a name and a product that has market respect... there is marketable value! Why isn’t the audio products business being sold to another respected brand who would probably like to have oppo???Assuming they ac... | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? Here is the thing... if you try to upgrade your overall sound by getting better speakers and powering them with the Yamaha, they aren’t going to sound very good. If instead you upgrade to the Halo, you get an immediate improvement and can upgrade ... | |
| Question for tube aficionados It seems that the Telefunkens and Amperex are different enough so as to require an either/or choice. Some have said that the Telefunkens and Amperex are no better than new tubes like the psvanes... has anyone compared all three side by side? | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? No doubt, you have to listen to your system with and without and decide which sounds better...and in my own system, no doubt at all, much better with the preamp than Oppo direct to the power amp..in the mean time, just for fun, check out this vide... | |
| Tekton Design Lore Just a further thought...the Lore hasn't had a lot of "formal" reviews...but this one just popped up a few weeks ago.http://wallofsound.ca/audioreviews/tekton-design-lore-2-0-loudspeaker/Tim Smith does a pretty nice job describing the Lores streng... | |
| Tekton Design Lore I'd like to weigh in on running the Lores with solid state and what might sound good for $1500 or less. I've had the Lores for 5 years now. My amps have included the Crown XLS2000, Nuprime STA9 and the current amp is the Parasound Halo A23. My ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc No doubt I'm a little biased as I currently have a Crown XLS2000 for sale, but here are my observations after 4 years of use:- massive soundstage, very wide but only moderately deep- very powerful low end - top end is not sibilant but also not ... | |
| Emotiva BasX TA-100 integrated or BasX PT-100 preamp sound quality Why not go ahead and buy the Emotiva BasXTA100 and at the same time, also buy the NAD3020v2 and the NuForce DDA120..both in a similar price range, both highly rated, both available and easily returnable from Audio Advisors and let the sound in you... | |
| What is considered a "standard" percentage of devaluation per year foor high end speakers? I think you also have to look at value from the buyers perspective:1. How much shipping am I going to have to pay2. What has been the average time a similar loudspeaker has taken to resell...as an example on audigon3. How well known and reviewe... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? I think you will really enjoy the Zu's especially for providing that "you are there, live music sound". Make sure you give them a couple hundred hours of burn in time to really smooth out the midrange and get the bass flowing. If they are at all... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? One thing I didn't mention...Originally I had the Lores in a 3500 cubic foot room...they could easily do 95 db at the listening position 12' back with plenty of toneful low end and balance overall without a subwoofer...probably using less than 30 ... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? With the bookshelves and the maggies, you will definitely need a sub in a room that big. There are lots of fans of the Zu and same for the Lore. You have a pretty big room and I suspect that the Lore will have a better low end just based on revie... |
