It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future
Oppo just announced they are ceasing production of disc players. I don't know a single person who still purchases CDs like I do. It certainly appears that streaming will be the future of listening to music for the vast majority.The times they are ... 
Oppo Ceasing production
Wow, this is a surprise! But, then again, I guess it's really not. I don't know a single person who still buys CDs like I do for my Oppo 103. I mentioned to an audiophile friend I was considering purchasing a better CD player. His only response wa... 
Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
Surprised no one has chimed in yet. I think Vandies do better in the areas of imaging, soundstaging and disappearing. My 2c. YMMV
