| Power Cables and Power Conditioner Observed that using a ultra high gauge and quality Sablon QGC power cable from the wall outlet to the PSA Dectects and Quintets permits all the components to share in the benefits of that great cable. Also allows me to use more nimble and lighter ... | |
| Class D = Trash? Have owned and sold hundreds of amps from entry to uber (I am an older audio+music-phile and one time business owner). Now retired, I enjoy refurbished and upgraded Aragon (A/AB), Goldmund (AB), bel canto (class D) and Virtue Audio Sensation (Clas... | |
| CDP or DAC with high end volume control For 2 ch., using bel canto's CD-2 and CD3t transports with DAC2.7 and DAC3.7 and Woo Audio's WTP-1 with WDS-1. Those DACS have digital VC. The bel cantos even have an analog input! Own and use them direct into tube and SS and Class D amps that all... | |

| Aragon, Parasound or Bryston "I loved that 8008. Absolutely loved it ..." Fortunate that you know this. So wisely absolutely act in accordance with what you absolutely love. I had a 20 year Krell service tech and authorized servicer for many world class audio lines not jus... | |
| Aragon 4004mkII vs 8008BB Agree the 4004mk II is getting old and was and still is preferred as the more musical amp by me over the 8008bb. I now have a totally updated 4004mkII. Aside from looking like new inside, it has taken first chair and made it easy for me to sell my... | |
| Which Zu for you I recently acquired Zu Audio Druid with IBIS cables and use them in a 23x26x9 room. Captivating sound. Retired, I literally have music going 18 hours a day. Do yourself a huge service and talk to the folk at Zu. Their counsel is invaluable to you ... | |
| Bel Canto eVo2i Gen II vs. S300i I own both and have listened to both extensively with different associated. Gear IE Sablon cables, Mark and Daniel speakers.... The evo2i gen II is the superior sounding amp in every way. The S300iU (USB module) or S300iP (phono module) is conveni... | |
| EVS modified Oppo 105D Alternatively: Get those delightful gains and save several Benjamins. Just add a Maze Audio Ref4 PC, a Yaqin CD-3 tube buffer with better tubes after the OPPO with Maze or Silnote interconnect. "Absolutely stunning, WOW, OMG musicality, zero digit... | |
| Oppo as a pre/pro I have had a 105 for over a year. Used it as a source, as a Dac with a separate transport and PC and as a preamp. I have several friends that use the 105 as pre/pros in secondary systems. For me, the 105 on it's own falls short but with a stereo t... | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion Couldn't live with 105 as all-in-one hub for fidelity and vinyl reasons. I'm lean to being a no frills sort. Not even have a balance control on my preamp. I have had my 105 over a year using it for CD/SACD/DVD-A/Bluray playback and streaming PC, s... | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? Suggest you might far more enjoy adding a decent two tube buffer, good tubes and cables between the 105 and your preamp. I did am truly blown away and so are my jealous $3k+ modified players friends. Remarkable how adding something in the chain op... | |
| turn off... Agree OPPO 105 gets a little warm. Seems whether to turn it off or leaving it on would depend on what ways and how often you use it. The 105 offers a wide array of functions and is pretty good to exceptionally good at them. I power down my equipme... | |
| Do you use a wool record mat? Do you upgrade? I switched to a cork and rubber blend mat. Static electricity issues (pops..) disappeared and transparency improved. | |
| Beware How I was ripped off Sadly I was ripped off selling first quality and fully serviced gear and people claiming it was not. Both times they returned an item different than what was sent. eBay ignored the evidence: photos of different items including serial numbers and s... |
