| Oppo Ceasing production It is ironic that the streaming feature they dropped from the latest geration is exactly what could have saved them. Streaming, after all, is what is killing disc sales and what led to Best Buy’s decision to no longer sell CDs. I own a BDP-83 and ... | |
| Let's talk power cords Oh yeah, this is about power cords. My two cents, big difference. A better power cord means more depth in the music, more realistic instruments, and losses too. The wrong power cord can mean less slam, less bass. Etc. it’s amazing what a cha... | |
| Let's talk power cords I want to believe every professional review I read starts with a room that is ideal for listening and all reviewer rooms are perfectly sonically corrected. Unfortunately I know that is not the case. Some of the reviewer’s are in small apartments... | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? Yes, lots. | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know I know what I know today, but I don’t know what I will know tomorrow. I am an expert in everything today and an expert in nothing tomorrow. The expert today refuses to acknowledge the expert of tomorrow. I can’t know what I do not know. | |
| Oppo BDP-103 vs UDP-203 audio only I’m going to be honest about the 103, which I own. It has never floored me with its audio quality. I love the video features and quality there, but I use it as a transport for audio to an external DAC. It is a great Tidal streamer but the inte... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Does the hearing ability of the individual make any difference in the opinion of horns? It seems like they provide more directional energy thus providing a better experience for those who have lost a little top end or detail in their hearing. I... | |
| Confused! Everything about your Elac sound problems seem like speaker placement and room issues to me. The Elacs don’t like where they are sitting. Either pull them out from the wall or get some corner bass traps and see how it goes after that. Where ... | |
| USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld Man, that’s a lot of money to spend on a USB cable. But I’m also a believer in spending money on cables, so I don’t have a problem with it. In the much less expensive category, I would throw in this one. Oyaide Neo d+ Class A USB 2.0 Cablehttp://w... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Mogami Golds gave me a richer more realistic sound. They did make a difference. Inexpensive upgrade. | |
| Pre amp with Dac I have a multi bit DAC that suits my needs for smooth sound. I keep thinking about buying a second DAC to give me a more detailed sharper second option. The MQA and DSD support on the Mytek always sounds attractive. I look forward to hearing a... | |
| Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system. I just started replacing stock power cords this week so I’m glad this topic showed up. I’ve heard nice improvements with interconnects in the past, not so much with speaker cable, and I always stayed away from power cords thinking it was total ... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I think the only thing I would regret paying for, if I had unlimited money, and spent it on audio equipment, would be music servers. I cannot conceive of a way for a computer system with ethernet and USB to cost over $10,000. Probably not over $50... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Same here. I used to use the blue jeans interconnects but really did find that better interconnects made a difference when it comes to RCA and XLR, so I no longer use them. I still like the cost-effectiveness of the company, but could hear the d... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? Another great, and completely free streaming option is the HiDef Radio app for iPhone. Probably available on android. And i think you can just use their website now. Download it and search for the jazzgroove.org channel (if you like that kind of ... |
