What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Ok, thank you that is good to know because I don't do that. I Just have old fashion two Chanel stereo. Very helpful thank you. Glad I asked. I won't be doing that then.
I bought an Oppo CDP from a fellow AKer. When I hooked it up and put a disc in, i heard a significant sq difference immediately. This player will play any type of disc. I think the most important aspect of this question is the DAC involved. No matter how good the source, if the DAC is inferior, so is the sound.
 
Quick question. I'm thinking about buying a SACD player. Is the difference going to blow my mind. Like how did I ever live without this I never knew anything this good existed.
Or just a subtle change. Any input is great.
i have a few SACD's wouldn't call it mind blowing but there is a difference to my ears,i'm only 2 channel too,i have a copy of stevie wonders talking book that sounds very very good,what i will say is it strips away the layers so to speak and is very detailed.i've said this before here that if more current bands say for instance elbow released their stuff on this format i would buy it.
 
So as you all know I've been trying to be rid of gear after my unit was broken into. Have some gear posted to CL now, and I posted up the Linn table as I like my Kenwood/SME set up better, have already ordered a few new SME head shells and new rubber rings so I can run other carts. Anyway... I think I'm just getting tired of the game. If one has a question ok, not a problem. But why do people think gear should be free... or if they cant afford it, be rude to folks trying to be rid of some gear. My asking price is that of eBay and my table has been substantially upgraded, the PS alone was a almost 4 bills. Stull under warrantee... yet im told my asking price is WAY to much.. so I reply well sorry I get a go F yourself... really?

Im loosing money and being told to go F myself... cant win that one...

I own one of those and use it all the time in my downstairs system. I never thought of that, On the front it list every type of DVD even 3D. I bet it would play them. I will have to check.
It is too bad they stopped production of all their players. Big loss in the AV stereo community. In fact I use it over my Macintosh player. This is why I ask this stuff. Cool.

Haters gonna hate & lowballers gonna lowball - it's what they do

Ignore the ignorant - it's what we do

I won't even reply to such nonsense. If they don't like my price don't buy it.
Yeah, what he said :)
 
So got an update on the Sansui :)

The annoying function of the tuner lights going off when not on the tuner selection will be converted over to stay constantly on. Again.. I feel that was a really bad design on Sansui's part... they did it to save the lamp life..

I was correct too, the unit has already been converted to LED... but was not done correctly, its still pushing AC power to the LED's... This will be corrected and converted to DC.

Was reported that it was in-fact serviced prior, some good quality Nichicon FC Caps... not bad so far. The unit will need a few things to get it to 100%. a few transistors will be upgraded, and a few other upgrades as well like a protection circuit being added.

Going to be swapping out the larger caps, some work on the tone board, and other caps upgraded.

I cant wait to get it back, should be a nice. As stated before, it sounded great but was just not there yet. I cant wait to get it home and have some good pix taken of the amp. :)
Sounds like its coming along great, i like the tuner light mod also cant wait for pics!
 
This just came:

Pretty neat: 1 side acoustic, 1 side electric, 1 side with him singing and the last is live. On the purple Capitol label, " Mastered by Capitol" and "Wayne" in the run-out. Have to run it through the cleaner..

He is like a national treasure in the way of all the stories he tells in-between songs. I just love this guy. He's played at our local collage a few times in the past.
His Taylor guitars are very nice as well. If they still make them.
