| Your top 3 worst purchases ever Also Ridge Street Audio balanced interconnect as above and also Cardas neither did anything for me.Adopting or trying SACD at the lower level-real waste of time-I still think SACD only shines on the odd disc..... | |
| Luxman 505u matching I have the Luxman and use via balanced inputs an Oppo 105 into a pair of Proac 2.5's.Great sound and it may well be still running in as both units were new. | |
| Getting into SACD I would try the Oppo 105 because imho it is a fantastic Redbook player.I can't say it is better than the Arcam because I haven't heard it but I the new 105 is designed for superior audio.Audition is the way to go if that is possible. | |
| Rush Live in 2013 - Clockwork Angels I've listened to the album a lot Steve-it doesn't really grab me-it's flawed has some great moments but I really don't think they've got a grip of their production and arguably arrangements in recent years.It's probably a good/great album of old s... | |
| KIND OF BLUE Initial thoughts are that the FLAC version of the Pristine Audio doesn't add much but there are noticeable level differences the K2 version is much louder.Indeed my initial thoughts were that PA version was maybe more relaxed sounding.What is inte... | |
| KIND OF BLUE I have just bought the FLAC version of the Pristine Audio version-will get back with an update. | |
| Rush Live in 2013 - Clockwork Angels I saw this tour in Glasgow indeed I've seen every tour since R30 and saw them around 8 times between 1979-83.It was good pretty great in parts I preferred the set list on the Time Machine Tour...CA is an ok record but not much more than that imho. | |
| The best CD Player for the money I recently replaced an Ayre CX-7 with an Oppo 105-considering it plays multi-formats it must be a consideration for the title in this thread.It is a very good CD player. | |
| KIND OF BLUE Exocet954-glad you are enjoying the disc. | |
| KIND OF BLUE Phasecorrect have you heard the K2 version? If not that is some statement.Also the Japanese Mastersound CD version surpasses the Legacy edition in sound as well. | |
| Replacing an Ayre AX-7 -buying advice? Jfrech-sorry I thought this post hadn't made the forum.....I have an alternative post further up the page.I've got the bug again I have replaced my CX-7 with the Oppo and I am enjoying hearing more from my system-so like a lot of people I've got g... | |
| KIND OF BLUE I have to say the K2 HD is as I thought noticeably better. There is a volume difference the K2 is slightly louder than the 50th which on first serious analysis throws you when you adjust the volume for listening to the 50th but you can actually he... | |
| Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7 Because the CX-7 is a CD player which I replaced with an Oppo 105 and I saw a Sugden amp and I thought might just replace my amp also. | |
| "Audiogon" Music Reviews at last My old review site has been defunct for years...... | |
| KIND OF BLUE Exocet954 I have to disagree the K2 HD sounds considerably better to my ears than the 50 year remaster but I am going to give it a whirl again just to see......be interested to hear what Warrenh found with his new disc. |
