Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be?
I tried the resistor across the 2nd voice coil tweak and found it made no difference I could hear. So I don't use it."Highs are good, but not spectacular, midrange smeared, bass very well extented but muddy" Don't know what to say because I believ... 
OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1
Couple of comments here.1) "Perhaps the Oppo 83 has improved upon the stereo outputs over your previous Oppo players."This is true. The -83 has completely separate DACS for the MCH vs stereo outputs. I own both the -83 and the 970. From an analog ... 
Noob problems guys
Good point Marakanetz! Since you're a self proclaimed noob, you may not realize that the turn table and cartridge will pick up and amplify vibrations. This includes the music itself (especially bass frequencies), foot steps, etc. So make very sure... 
Noob problems guys
All your problems just reinforces why I left vinyl behind. I suggest you cut your losses and move on to quality digital equipment :)Thinking back about 20 years (last time I played a record) I bet your cartridge is misaligned. This can cause disto...

Suggestions needed for 5.1 surround sound SACDS.
Hey Dave - What about "In a Silent Way" makes you miss the MCH version (vs the stereo)?Thanks 
Denon "Universal Blue-ray" DVD-A1UDCi, $4,500
I bought the Oppo BDP-83 for $500 about a month ago and am very happy with it. The stereo analog outputs sound very very good for both RB and SACD. Plus it automatically down-mixes MCH content out these RCA jacks. Eventually I'll have it modded. F...

Blue Ray Concert discs
Tlg, you may be right. I'm shocked at the lack of content for BD. I thought SACD was dead... until I started looking for BD content. It makes SACD look vibrant!Guess I'll be downloading HD content and burning my own discs. Seriously thinking about... 
New Gallo 3.5's
Yeah, the KEFs are one great speaker. But they are old and really, you'd need to completely rebuild them at this point... which I considered before buying the Gallos. Glad I've moved on and am very very happy with the 3.1sFYI, the 3.1 frames are f... 
Blue Ray Concert discs
WOW great HQ youtube vid - That Beck BD is going to be awesome :)Don't meant to steal Ozzy's thread, but any jazz BD recommendations? On the AVS forum Chris Botti Live in Boston was recommended. It does look good, I'll get it for sure. Any others ...
