| CPD orSACD player w/built in remote volume control The oppo DVD players and the Blu-ray player have volume on the remote, but they are not in your price range. However, several "modded" versions are available. | |
| Entry Level Cables I've never used the Kimber, but am very impressed with Morrow SP2 with bare wire termination. Morrow is always having some kind of sale going on. Get on his email list. | |
| Speaker Cables BTW, I got my SP2 wires terminated with bare wire, as recommended by Morrow. | |
| Speaker Cables Yes, I have ended up with Morrow SP2 cables for my front L/R and center speakers. As rpg says, the mids and highs are just great. The thing about it is, my highs are clearer than with my previous Tara RSC Prime, but without any increase in HF hars... | |
| Oppo 981 vs 983 Which Has Better Picture Quality? I am using a Oppo 980. I run a HDMI 1.3a cable from the Oppo to the receiver, then a HDMI>DVI cable from receiver to my Mits CRT RPTV. The TV has to have a HDCP(copy protected) DVI input, in order to get the 1080i signal. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Mnnc,Thanks for the recommendations. My speaker distance settings are correct, 10 feet for each of the front 3 speakers. I also calibrated all speakers with my Radio Shack sound meter. The way I was given to understand to do it, and the way I did,... | |
| HDMI Audio Quality vs Optical/Digital/Analogue Also, for music, if you get a receiver/processor with HDMI 1.3, AND a SACD/DVD-Audio player with HDMI 1.2 that can send DSD and DVD-Audio via HDMI, the sound quality is fabulous. You can get an Oppo 980 for $169. I have it, and SACD DSD and DVD-Au... | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? "01-03-09: EldartfordFor dialog a speaker with restricted and contoured frequency response is most inteligible. Lousy for music though, where the center speaker should be as good or better than the Left and Right speakers.Maybe you need to DOWNgra... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Well, I did pick up a run of Morrow SP2(bare wire ends as Morrow suggests) for my center channel. I must say, this is the best and clearest my center speaker has been so far. Actually, I bi-amped the center speaker by running the Morrow to the HF ... | |
| Bi-amping via Y-cables sound quality Yes, I also have been thinking about doing something that would require some kind of a Y cable. I want to bi-amp my fromt L/R speakers, using my multi-channel amp. But I need to get two cables to the power amp for the front left and tow cables for... | |
| Mapleshade cables?? v Anti Cables Teel,I just had an interesting experience comparing a set of standard anti-cable ics and a set of Audio Art IC-3, connecting my Oppo 980 to my receiver. Actually, both had been unused for maybe more than a year. I had recently gotten a new HDMI re... | |
| Which Ahmad Jamal Recordings? I have Crystal on LP and it is fantastic, very dynamic, really captured the lower notes on the piano. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? At this point, I am beginning to agree with Shadorne, and I think I am going to give up on having a center channel speaker until I can afford a really good one. I got a deal on a Swans C3 center speaker, so I have been checking it out. I also have... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? As a follow up, I tried switching the Morrows to the LF speaker inputs, and the Goertz MI2 to the HF inputs. That didn't last long. There was an obvious loss of HF detail and clarity. Everything seems more natural and clearer with the Morrows on t... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Yep, I must now have maybe a couple hundred hours on the Morrows, and there is definitely a greater sense of palpability of instruments such as drums and guitar than with the Tara Labs. The high frequencies seem to come through better, but not wit... |
