Should I upgrade my Blu-ray player now?
I have two speakers now. The HK 990 is the only stereo (only) component I know that also has room correction. I am reluctant to invest in a pre-pro, room acoustics notwithstanding, until I add more speakers. Once I get myself to at least a 5.1 sys... 
Should I upgrade my Blu-ray player now?
db,re - your last sentence - I almost added something to that effect in my OP. I am definitely not going to wait around for something else, the next big thing, whatever, because you are correct, the cost of waiting means missing out on doing somet... 
Should I upgrade my Blu-ray player now?
Thank you for your replies. Bob, I am with you (or I want to be) that "...that Blu-ray will be around 20 years from now"). There is this question I have that by purchasing an Oppo 105, or any Blu-Ray player for that matter today, am I investing in... 
Charlotte, NC
I'm in Fort Mill, SC and would really like to see something get started. I've driven as far a Raleigh to visit in on the club up there. There's just something about Charlotte...don't know what it is. There are members who post regularly on various... 
What is your most beautiful component?
My PBN Montana XP speakers are pretty nice but I think my Raysonic CD-128 is the nicest-looking component I have - especially at night. 
Best beer
I was drinking SweetWater Georgia Brown Ale this winter. Not a big far of dark brown ales - some are too malty for me, but this struck a nice balance with the caramel and chocolate malts plus the hops.I like Bells Two Hearted Ale. Now that spring ... 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
I have the Ohm Walsh 5000 and I can listen all day.I'm not ready to say it is my favorite yet, too many other speakers I'd like to hear. Darn Frazeur1 for talking up the Shahinians. 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
I'm also with Mitch4t. While not essential for me, a digital in will allow me to listen to Internet radio and other digital sources and possibly eliminate an extra DAC in the system. The HAP-Z1ES DAC, while not the best out there, will probably be... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
BrownsfanStill don't see your post. Was it a post or PM? I'm curious as to what Dan will say.Vinnie with RWA now has a page on his own web site detailing his Level One mod with other levels to follow.I asked Vinnie his thoughts about adding a digi... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Those comments would probably have sealed the deal for me and I would have placed an order for 5 or maybe three plus two Mini-Lores today. Had planned on using my bonus plus tax refund to make it happen - until, that is, my wife (and much better h... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
Would someone please buy the Sony unit and send it to Modwright for all of the fully pimped-out mods? I'd like to see this thing on steroids.and reviewed.Mitch4tLooks like Vinnie at RWA has shipped his first modded unit to a customer. Don't know a... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Thanks, Genjamon. I take it you still have the Lores? Have you heard any other models since acquiring them? 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Avgoround - just pull the trigger. :)Seems like you'll get all the help you need. 
Does treble response beyond my hearing matter?
Mapman, why? Even if I can't hear above a certain frequency, in the range that I do hear, wouldn't having a higher treble response add to "air" or sparkle? I think that is what Arnettpartnetrs was alluding to, or at least in part.I'll certainly li... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Genjamon,IIRC, you corresponded with Eric about your mods. If not you, apologies, then it was someone else who also modded some speakers.Did he end up adapting any of your work into later iterations of any of his speakers? Or put another way, is E...
