    Oppo 105D vs other DACs

    Thanks for the input. I believe it's nicely matched with my other bits 'cause it sounds pretty good and more than sufficient for my needs. I've tried CDs, SACDs, Hi-Res (AIFF, DSD and a few FLACs) AIFF rips of CDs and only mp3s are crappy but one would expect that. When I really want to listen I...

    Oppo 105D vs other DACs

    Hi Really new to this digital thing other than CDs. Was fortunate to get an Oppo (thanks FDLYSYS!) a while ago and am very impressed. Also as a CD player it blows the socks off my previous CD player. I've been ripping AIFFs and bought quite a few Hi-Res and am impressed (still doesn't beat...

    SME TT Boffs

    Hi Thanks for that. Thing is, it does have torques. Also, the motor was initially replaced, then the power supply and then the whole TT went back to SME in the UK. Still have the issue... I have 3 phase power in the house so I've even taken an extension and run it off other phases. Tried with...

    SME TT Boffs

    Hi I've had an SME 15 for over a year now and am not pleased with its speed consistency. It went back to the factory, came back and often does a "wow" on the speed. if one checks/sets speed with the the strobe disk it looks good but often when playing its slows and recovers. Sounds like ones...

    Vinyl vs Digital for Newbie

    I much prefer records. Also, records are an heirloom. I doubt if handing down a drive with numbers in it will be as appreciated...

    Software to remaster bad quality mp3's

    Hi The software is called "vinyl" or "records" The necessary hardware to run the software is called a "record player" That combination is better than mp3 and DACs. And let the repercusions begin!

    Vinyl Case

    I use the Ikea units. I think they're great and wouldn't swap for anything. Just make sure you orientate them correctly else I believe they collapse. I've got a 4x4 with a 2x4 on top, giving be 6 high by 4 wide. Optional drawers and doors if you want a spot to keep other related bits. Available...
