| Magnepan 3.7i/3.6 owners- Free stands...new prototype development still looking for testers? | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Great thread! I've been using a USRCM for a couple of years (I guess that may put me in the 'early adopter' catagory) however, I would not say I'm any expert at it, mainly due to a lack of time to really dial in the procedure. Where I'm at today i... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados A great thread, indeed - it's encouraging to know there are (still?) many classical music enthusiasts here! I would like to throw a few names into the mix. I will add more to this thread as my time allows (quite possibly with some Hindemith, a fav... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @tomcarr - when you get it (I am sure I put this explanation farther up the thread...but I'll summarize again): back the output volume off in the settings to something else than 100%. I really thought it was harsh at 100. I have mine set at 90%. B... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @tomcarr , I wish I could expound intelligently for you - but I can't. The 205 is my first Oppo. I'm comparing it to some older (albeit in that 'legendary' category) CD players with the Philips guts and DAC's, as well as a newer TASCAM, which suck... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I re-read my comment and I'm afraid it may have come off as snarky! Not meant to be!! Disclaimer: I own the -205 and love it! | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @jonasandezekiel .... given your statement about it being a mid-fi price point, I think you should definitely go with another player. I bet the "what if" will constantly be in the back of your head, and that may not be a very enjoyable place to li... | |
| Cleaning Large Advent speaker grill cloth I'm a bit late to this party, but I've got some experience with renovating the Large (well - any of the early Kloss designed) Advents. A word of 'note', maybe even 'caution': do try and salvage the original cloth. It is an integral part of the des... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I gave the OP a bit more thought, and reflected on what I wrote a 'few' posts back - - the original question, summarized, was "have you been disappointed by the high end" - or another way to read it is 'was the dollars worth it'. So...buried in my... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? It's been fun reading some of the comments - only I think 2 people have answered the OP with actual examples (Thank you @joey_v )I have "ventured" into a land far higher-end that I thought. In fact...I was in the camp of what some might consider ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @gdhal Thanks for the heads up - though I will state my -205 was "absolutely" set as 'Brick Wall' as default when I set it up. At the time (quite a few months ago) there was nothing on the 'net about filters, filter setups, and any reviews on them... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I'd like to know what you think, @firstgrowth . @jonasandezekiel , I hope you take advantage of the return policy from Oppo and find a place to with the same return policy on the Marantz. I think think the only way to decide is to spend some time... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric I've only seen a couple responses here answering the OP - comparing a Oppo "205". The 205 is a very different beast than previous Oppos. I wish I could say I've compared the 205 to an Esoteric, but I can't. I do, however, own a -205 as my dedicate... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? I just received my (new) Oppo 205. Balanced outputs via Cardas cables into my Jeff Rowland gear. It is well beyond my expectations. Honestly - and SACD's and DVD-A sound great - I'm most impressed by CD playback. It makes me question the higher re... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Great thread! I saw the title "broke my class D".... and I had to chime in, both for some self-therapy, (since I had two class D's crater. UGH) as well as a warning (and, Todd - we don't live too far away from each other, so I'm going to guess our... |
