It does amaze me that, in a hobby like this with so many obsessives and sticklers for details upon details, publications like Stereophile and TAS continue to exist. It's not like there is a continuous wave of new people coming in to the hobby that need a basic intro (maybe this is the fantasy that keeps the advertising dollars flowing). I mean, c'mon, at least show me a picture of the back of the speakers and tell me where they are manufactured! I'VE SWORN OFF all but HIFI+ and The Audiophile Voice. HIFI+ because of the production quality (paper and ink) more than anything else, and TAV because of its refreshing quirkiness.
Absolute Sound - do we really need another review like this?
I own the OPPPO 105 player purchased 3 years ago and still very satisfied with it.
There are TONS and TONS of glowing reviews of this unit and apparently oppo is working on a replacement model.
In this current February 2017 issue of Absolute Sound, there is yet another review (a brief one) on this unit.
Kind of long in the tooth and totally futile. Sounds like the following Scenario:
oppo: hi stereophile, look, we are still a few months away from putting out the 105 replacement, could you run something just so that we can keep the flame alive before the new model come out?
Sorry but that went trough my head reading this review of the still-stellar and reviewed to death Oppo 105.
Cheers all !
