Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95?
Well, has anybody compared these two yet? 
Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95?
I'm surprised that there haven't been any comparisons yet. I am definitely interested in knowing the real differences in PQ and SQ between these two affordable players. I am currently using a Marantz BD7003 and running the sound through a Cambridg... 
Mcintosh MVP871 vs Krell SACD
I have no experience with Krell. However, I did demo an MVP871 a year or year-and-a-half ago. At the time, it was a demo being offered to me for $3k. Because it was only super at music and really not much better at video and I needed both (or so I... 
mcintosh mcd 301vs 201
I have auditioned the 201 and the MVP871. At the time of the 201 audition, I also listened to a Marantz DV7600. The McIntosh was only better in the upper reaches and really not by much. I couldn't justify paying $2,500 for the 201 when I could get... 
who wants tone controls on your next preamp?
I saw this thread when it was just getting started and wanted to comment, but I was at work and well... First off, I want to congratulate Elizabeth for bringing up the subject. She has some great questions and I feel they are very important. When ... 
Burson Buffers?
To the OP. I know you say you have low bass output from your new 840C. I also have a new 840C. The only upgrade I have is a PS Audio AC3 1M PC. I have never listened to the stock cord, so I don't yet know what difference the PC provides. Anyway, s... 
Denon 5910ci VS McIntosh MVP871
Maybe you should get your dealer to let you take it home for a week. Then you'll be able to tell if it fits the bill. Look for a somewhat noisey CD drawer and drive mechanism (hopefully the one you have access to doesn't have it). Some of them hav... 
Denon 5910ci VS McIntosh MVP871
Saw this thread a few days ago at work. I have never heard the Denon. But I have had the MVP871 in my system for a few days. The other universal player in my system at that time was a Marantz DV7600. For video, the Mc got the nod, but just barely.... 
Power Cords
Thanks all, I appreciate the comments. On the post above, I do not have experience with other modern power filtering/protection systems, but will read about the one mentioned above. I can say though that I have read nothing but good about the Shun... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
I appreciate your reply. The other important aspect mentioned to me was that the power supply was supposed to have been upgraded and is quieter now. And it was mentioned to me that this was a rolling change. So no change in the model number.Bumpin... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Anybody else know anything about this? Can you provide me with a link? 
Power Cords
I appreciate all of the comments everyone has provided. Based on spending the whole lot on one very good PC, it sounds like the PC is not only providing power, but it is also filtering the power as well. So maybe the better cords provide the best ... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Newbrook, I took a look for that review and could not find it. Could you direct me to it? 
Power Cords
I'll try to answer some of your questions or respond to some of your responses below.I have my system pretty sorted out. I will add the CD player that I mentioned above hopefully on Friday. Hope to do some room work this summer.I really don't thin...
