| C22 fully balanced? I don't believe the C22 is fully balanced. The C1100 is. I do like the retro style of the C22. It looks good with MC75 or MC275 amps. | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Everyone has different favorites for speakers. I had Acoustic Zen Crescendos paired with McIntosh 601 mono's and C2300 preamp and liked that combo quite a bit. I also second the suggestion for Harbeth 40.2 speakers. | |
| Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ? When I had AZ Crescendos, I preferred McIntosh MC601 SS monos over McIntosh MC275 tube monos but it was close. I loved the Crescendos but I did get the fever to switch things around. I have never heard the Tonian Lab speakers so I can't compare. | |
| OPPO 205 VS 105 QUESTIONS milpai, my HT system is down in the mancave and my 2 channel system is on the 1st floor so they are not physically close. My 2 channel system is a lot more expensive than my HT system so it is not a fair comparison to compare an Oppo which is an e... | |
| OPPO 205 VS 105 QUESTIONS I recently received a 205. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound quality over my 105D when I hooked it up for a BluRay concert in 5.1. It also sounds better than the 105D through the balanced stereo outputs though I only listened in 2 channe... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? stereo5, I am sure you will be glad you purchased one of the last 205's. I wasn't going to purchase one either since it can't stream Netflix or YouTube. I figured if I didn't like it I could sell it for at least as much as I paid for it. I am very... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? Below is the email I received on 5/9/18. I had entered my email address on the Oppo website about a month or 2 before saying I was interested in purchasing a 205.Thank you for your interest in the OPPO UDP-205. As we get closer to availability, we... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? Yes, I signed up for the waiting list at least a month or two before I received the verifying email that I still wished to make the purchase. The two dates were different. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I verified my e-mail on 5/9/18. | |
| Aurender N10 My N10 lost internet connection the other night, I was installing the latest firmware. I just went into the Aurender app on my IPad and reinstalled it. Connected right away. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I was on the list for the last batch of 205's and I received it yesterday. The audio and video is much better to me than my 105D (which I will still be using connected to my 205 for streaming and cable). | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music I own an Esoteric K-01x and loved the sound paired with McIntosh 601 monos but when I switched to McIntosh 2301 tube monos the K-01x sounds much better - as in no digital edge. I wish I had used a tube amp sooner. | |
| what is the best option for one button controlled all HT? Logitech Harmony remotes work great and are only about $50 but not sure if they can be programed for the lights. | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? Celander, I found the Oppo 83SE was a fine universal DVD player back in its day but a quality dedicated CD player will sound much better for Redbook CD playback. I would also recommend an Esoteric unit as others have. They are built like tanks and... | |
| What CD Player to replace McIntosh MCD550? I replaced my MCD500 with an Esoteric K-03. I thought it was a significant upgrade in build and sound quality. I liked the K-03 so much, I further upgraded to the Esoteric K-01x. |
