| Straightwire speaker cable Crescendo vs Crescendo II I use Crescendo III in my system and like them very much. What is the context of your question? Are you considering changing from Crescendo to Crescendo II or trying to decide if the price difference between the two is worth it? | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Stereo5, the HINT and Oppo 105 have the same DAC, so you don't really gain anything by running the 105 through it. If that is the plan, you are fine with the 103.To the OP, the 105 is a great universal player. Mine has been modified by ModWright... | |
| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 I'm a huge fan of Neat speakers and definitely worth at least an audition. If price difference is an issue, you can look at the Motive SX1 which sound fantastic, as well. | |
| I need advice on which speaker With the HINT (I have one), in that price range, I really liked it paired with the PMC Twenty.24 | |
| Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions Neat Motive SX2 is an excellent speaker. It has a small footprint and have a much fuller sound than their stature would suggest. Their reflex port fires down through the plinth so they can be placed anywhere which makes them ideal for apartment ... | |
| Upgrading power cables Ha! It will be another whole thread to cover a power conditioner. At least your significant other is a real keeper :) | |
| Which CD\SACD? Parasound discontinued their Halo CD 1. Not much in terms of future-proofed technology, but an excellent spinner that you might be able to pick up at a great price. | |
| Which CD\SACD? geoffkait, that was an Oppo 103 just like it was a Toyota Camry that won the Daytona 500 yesterday....You referred to it in the past tense, so why did you give it up after so much work? | |
| Upgrading power cables For me, upgrading the amp PC first made a big improvement in the system as a whole. Using a high currant cord I got much stronger bass, a wider soundstage and more detail across the board. Upgrading the source cords further refined the sound to ... | |
| Which CD\SACD? geoffkait, who did the work on your Oppo 103 and what mods were done? | |
| Your jaw dropping cables I've had excellent results with Straight Wire Crescendo III interconnects and speaker cables and Clarus Crimson PCs. | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 jafant, did you have a chance to audition an Audia Flight? | |
| Which CD\SACD? I have an Oppo 105D with the full ModWright upgrade and, while it does many things well, it cannot complete with a high-end dedicated SACD/CD player. If you don't need the other things the Oppo brings to the table, with your budget, you can defin... | |
| Hegel H160 competitors The Hegel H160 is very good. At a similar price, the new Audia Flight Three S is worth an audition. If you bump up your budget to H360 level, the Naim Supernait 2 is another good option. | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players The Audia Flight CD One M finally came in. I'm running everything through a Furman IT Reference 20i now, as well. Out of the box it's absolutely stunning, even better than what I remember from the demo unit I auditioned, so I can only imagine wh... |
