room makes or breaks
I'm agreeing with Pops and all others who place the room as utterly imperative to great sound. I spent over 1.5 yrs building a dedicated listening room and it was absolutely the best "audio" purchase I have ever made. Stick with it. BTW a room can... 
Now that the Oppo 105 has been out for a while
As "they said" it needs a few hundred hours to break in completely but it's a great $1200 player...and certainly competes higher than that. Definitely fast and extended with nice PRAT and energy. Would be happy in a heavily tube based system but c... 
Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5
I'm replacing my amazing Lamp Level 4 Gen4 with a Level 6 because I can't get over how fantastic this Dac sounds... I also can't believe there's much room for improvement but after listening to the 4 and really studying the fanatical attention to ... 
Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5
I received my new Lampizator Level 4 Gen 4 about a month ago and am completely convinced it was the right move for me.I am sorry I can not make the comparison you originally asked for because I have not heard your other consideration and so I will... 
Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion
I had mentioned on another thread that I bought one to use as a transport via coax output only and its been doing a good job of that. Last night I decided I should try it alone just to get a feel for it so i put it on repeat (feeding into my [on] ... 
Any LampizatOr Gen 4 feedback?
I just broke in my level 4 gen4 and it is truly outstanding! I went with the tube regulated pwr supply along with the coax and USB and I can honestly say my system has never sounded better by a wide margin . I always admired my BDA 1 and will neve...

Signal Cable REL cable vs Speakon Custom REL cable
When I first bought my Rel Stadium 2 almost 15 yrs ago I swapped the stock cable for the Signal Cable and noticed a faster, cleaner, deeper extension and was pleased with the improvement to cost ratio. I have also played with power cords ranging f... 
External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost?
Forgot to add FYI the Lampizator ranges from about $5K - $6K depending on options. 
External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost?
I bought an Oppo 105 to use as a coax digital output to feed a dac. Can't say what the difference was/is because I haven't bothered using it on its own...I wanted to know it was (supposed to be) good all alone in case I felt like giving it a try s... 
oppo 105 vs 103
I needed a new transport for my Dac but didn't want to go with a "Pure transport" only [for flexibility purposes] so I debated between the 103 and the 105. I first picked up the 103 then shortly afterwards decided I wanted to have the music-making... 
Best reasonably priced power cord for lamm ll2
I have had very good results using Triode Wire Labs (TWL) cables on almost any piece of source component or amp or pre-amp combinations that are inherently either essentially neutral or somewhat biased towards a leaner,"Accurate" persona. They add... 
Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2
Hello Kclone, I'm glad you're enjoying the new BDA-2, I have no doubt it has to be great, considering its predecessor... I have already pulled the trigger on "The other one" and am awaiting delivery soon so I will do a personal comparison between ... 
Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2
I have loved the sound of my BDA-1 since I bought it new a couple of years ago...it is everything that the audio rags have stated and my system took full advantage of it. On that note however when I heard and read about the BDA-2 I decided to sell... 
Looking to Upgrade my CDP
Reviews say the Oppo 105 is a giant killer but it's out of your price point at $1200. I was looking for a transport to feed (via Spdif coax) my new Lampizator 4 L4 Dac so I went with the $500 Oppo BDP-103...it's supposed to be well built and full ...
