| Best CD player under $2000 I have the Yamaha S2100 and an OPPO 95. The 95 sounds much smoother and less grainy. When I first got the OPPO, I thought it sounded dull, but that was not the case.Get any OPPO that ends in "5" (i.e., 95, 105, 205) and you can't go wrong. My 9... | |
| What speaker has the best high frequencies? I’ve tamed the Heils and they sound great with plenty of top end extension. I use them in a 2.5 way with JBL 2241H 18" and JBL 2251J 10". My own design crossovers.I created acoustic lenses for them and insert a piece of foam to the rear to reduce ... | |
| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything Easy one.You can’t trust your ears and whatever you listen to music-wise will never contain the entire spectrum. Sure you may make those songs you enjoy sound good, but what about everything else?I use a 61-band RTA with a pink noise source and ju... | |
| What the heck do these terms mean? 1. Treble/ bass is dry- Huh? What does this mean?Lacking in a natural ambience/reverb2. Treble/bass is wet.- Huh? Again, what does this mean?Too much ambience/reverb3. Organic sounding- Huh, huh?No unnaturalness such as peaks and dips in the fre... | |

| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. This is true about dieseling and in fact if you put a drop of oil on the back of a high performance air gun pellet, the heat generated by the rapidly compressed air in the chamber will ignite the spot of oil and increase the pressure of the shot..... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Most domestic vehicles use spark plug wires with a fiber glass core covered in latex graphite, which provides between 10,000 and 12,000 ohms of resistance per foot of wire. But this varies with wire type Do you really want to put all of that ... | |
| My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome... Nope! Not until you replace that Oppo with a 95, 105, or 205. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Well if anyone has a complete, properly working Oppo 95 for ~$300 + shipping, I'll take it! | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more I tell people that I not only listen to the music, I listen to the "sound of the music" and the equipment facilitates this. | |
| Moving up from an Oppo 205 If/when you get his 205, I'ld be interested in your 95. Thanks. | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? You are welcome to come hear my Super Big Red Altecs. While you may never come across a pair of Super Big Reds, it will give you an idea of what a Altec 604 can do with an added woofer for the bass. These are tri-amped using a Marantz 1180DC and t... | |

| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency I look at PV, Eminence, and others..., and yes, for the same models, the higer impedience version typically has the higher Bl.So, contrary to what some would say, I guess that JBL is not the only one who does this and the OP is advised to check th... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency The L19 made it’s debut in the 1979 catalog. Seeing as how I’ve been into JBLs since the 60’s, it sounds like you are the newcomer.I've even developed and make products for use with classic JBLs.https://youtu.be/pbbS0QYK2_o http://www.audioheritag... |
