Title: STEREOPHILE...this months stuff
Post by: Nick's Picks on April 21, 2007, 01:39:21 PM: great review of the OPPO 970HD universal player. they were skeptical, and impressed. especially as a transport. Me too.
:)

also, a sneak peak at a new Magnepan subwhoofer. yes, its a plannar sub. Flat. sort of. curved and cool looking as all hell. supposed to match up w/their MMGs and on wall HT stuff.
very sweeet.

nice review of the Rega P1 LP player as well.

Post by: Nick's Picks on April 21, 2007, 07:19:36 PM: yea, its a great issue. I dont think they review anything over a few grand.
well, i'm sure they do, but they have some excellent budget components reviewed this month.

Post by: Nick's Picks on April 22, 2007, 09:06:46 PM: yes. its awesome.
I've been listening to its analog output all week, and just hooked up my CIA VDA2 DAC again..., marginal improvement from a DAC costing nearly 4x as much.
If it had a digi in, it would be my favorite piece of electronic gear

Post by: Chuck on April 23, 2007, 07:17:27 PM: I let my subscription lapse recently, because the stuff they talked about was mostly out of my reach.
