The AcousTech vinyl of this is fantastic. Starting with Ruby My Dear and through Pardon me, Monk and Trane just weave and feed off each other throughout the LP (or CD if you can find one). An absolute must for any jazz collection IMHO.

Or Button This!

Reks, sorry to hear about the mishap. I hope you heal real soon. Hint, nurses make great girlfriends, think spongebaths....... ;)

The Espresso is being balanced out by the Chardonnay............

Chocolate covered espresso beans.

Two six meter TRS cables and two rca--1/4 inch adaptors. Sigh, I wish Nate or Zach lived near by. I could have had better and quicker.

Awwwwe some!

Dude, you are wonderful, there.............

Which version? The remastered or the Euro one or...................?

David, Heads up. Brooks Berdan is hosting a LA/OC Audio Society meet on May 17th 1-4PM. Dave Wilson of Wilson Audio will be there with his new best friend the Alexandria X-2. A big two for one in my mind, see y'all there.

David, You are using the Moth Cicada full range speakers yes? How is the bass response with the TT?

OK my guess is................ a super duper power supply for one of your latest projects. What do I win?

Happy birthday to both of you. Now go out and buy something cool.

Go Irish!!!

You should have given him OICDN's address, then let 'em have at each other.

and this

I bought the vinyl, and since I don't have a TT I thought I would buy this so I know what I will be in for----- and this and this

Very nice Steve and how do they sound? Can they deliver the details? Omegas are a really nice looking speaker.

If you mean an IC with BNC male on one end and a spdif/rca (male) on the other then Blue Jean cables makes a pretty good one. If you mean a plug with BNC female on one end and RCA male on the other then sorry no idea.

Uhhh, somehow I think I navigated to the wrong thread.....

Let me guess----

Great and good luck with the new system. I do find the picture quite nice with our LCD.

From what I remember, the 981 is considered to be much better with video because of the Farouda chip, the 980 is better with audio because "they" say so. I think the 981 is not very good with audio at all, so "better" audio with the 980 will still probably be sucky for someone like you with real taste.

Well for "cheap" components you are on the right track with the Oppo. I have the 981 HD in one room with the audio through either a Scott NOS dac or a Spitfire ( I forget) into a Charlize II out to an old pair of Polk's. The Farouda chip in the Oppo 981 is what sold me as well as the ability to play almost every CD format DVD audio but not BR. For $230 USD$, it is good value, the video quality is nice, can accept multiple input (480-1080) but the audio is not very good so you will need to use the spdif out to a dac.

I agree and that is what I have been doing for the past three years, but sometimes you have to learn lessons the hard way. I have gained more valuable information from forums than any retailer. But even on forums like the other place, you have to really analyze what and by whom you are being advised. In fact, the only thing learned from retailers is that how well I got snowed buy a guy with a store front.
