| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion I just wanted to mention you don't need a monitor to set up a 105 or 103 in a stereo application if you use a tablet and the oppo remote app. It works great, you can access playlists, see cover art and change menu settings. You just have to have... | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? I had to think about this for a minute because some of my gear should sound stupid good given their price, but keeping in context with the OPs question I would say my new OPPO 103D IS stupid good.... It can decode virtually anything, has incredi... | |
| Magnum Dynalab MD102T or MD801 tuner? I had an MD 90 and traded in toward a MD 102 and love it, it pulls in stations that the 90 couldn't. Mine is solid state but it sounds great..... | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! I like to own the physical disc too but lately I have been converting my CDs to .wav and putting them on a hard drive. I use my OPPO 103D universal player to send the digital stream to my NAD M51 DAC and it sounds great plus the Playlist and cov... | |
| Why I prefer gear that is made domestically I do prefer Made in USA for most things that I buy in general. It’s tough to buy USA made gear without shelling out some big bucks as only the high end is still made here for the most part. Even Krell, Wadia, and Cary are making gear in China. My ... | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? Preamp.... It's the most important component in my opinion.. My speakers ,amp , and DAC were a little less and were about the same price each. Of course speakers are the most important but there are a lot of great ones out there. Upgrading my ... | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers I know of more than one company that has created B stocks when sales are weak by opening new units . Customers were getting new units at a reduced price and those customers that were afraid to buy B stocks were paying full price, for the same equ... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp For modern production jj ecc83s have a darker tone. I have a pair of vintage RCA 12ax7a that are very smooth, they have good overall balance, not bright but still have good high frequency extention. ... | |

| So how many people are using subwoofers I have been running different bookshelf size mains with a sub for many years. My room has a nasty peak at 40 Hz so it was always tough to get good sound with floorstanding speakers. My current system is a pair of Revel M106 speakers paired with... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced I second Quicksilver Audio I have a pair of Mid Monos and I love them. One of the true values in audio. | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? You'll regret selling that Bryston in favor of an integrated.... I have a DAC that can drive an amp and although it still sounds good, it can't drive my amp like my preamp can. Be patient, maybe listen to a table radio a little longer and save a... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Personally I have never liked passive line stages, so with that said I would recommend an active preamp......especially if you want to set up a home theater....for just a little more than your budget you can pick up a McCormack RLD1 which has a H... | |
