Three comments: - #1 ..... The Emotiva Lounge sure has changed since the beginning. And it has also changed over the past couple of years.
- #2 ..... Why do people always post RIP after someone dies. As far as I know, there isn't any rest in death. There may be peace but not rest.
- #3 ..... I just bought a $33 Sony DVD/CD player to play my CDs. It sounds no different and just as good as my $500 OPPO did. Which I sold. Why is that??
#1 ..... Roger (aka 10-4). Those of us who are still here are nuts by now. #2 ..... RIP, Rest in Peace. Latin, Requiescat in Pace (Rec-kwe-est-cot in Paw-chey), from Catholic/Christian liturgy, prayers, songs, etc. for many centuries passed on closely from Hebrew. Rest basically means same as peace (samo-samo G.I.)(Peaceful Easy Feeling). Heaven will be like one big long siesta with nice background music, non violent movies in 4K and delicious munchies. (There are no Bose speakers in heaven!) #3 ..... Was the Sony new or used? Did you compare them side by side on the same exact system before you sold the OPPO? If not then no cigar. However, I'm one who is quite skeptical about usually being able to hear a difference between component CD players. With a very high quality CD from recording to disc you might be able to detect some differences in quick A/B switching.. If you are trying to "remember" what the OPPO or Sony sounded like playing the CD (exact same disc or different) at different times, no cigar. The audio memory is not that discerning on such close type comparisons over time.

As far as #3, yes I might be able to tell some bit of difference if I could have played them side by side with the same system, etc. I sold the OPPO because of what I saw they were selling for on ebay and then bought the Sony just to have something to play CDs on. At my age, with my ears, what little difference won't be noticable to me anyway!!

I have to admit I laughed out loud a couple of times with this guy's review of the BasX A-100 as a headphone amp. I've watched a lot of his reviews lately while searching for a new portable headphone amp...Caution language.

The thing about Christmas, I saw our tree at work and started to cry. I thought of my Mom and how much she would appreciate it and the spirit here. I haven't cried at work in a long time but this beautiful tree made me think of her. I love you Mom and of course. Merry Christmas.

I don't think that is a an Emotiva thing but Pro Boards on links. I could be wrong. I stopped counting how many I been there. 😊

Tedeschi Trucks Band Fan Club
The band announced this on Friday. It's $40 a year and you get access to live shows, pre-sale tickets and a bunch of other ancillary stuff. Two shows they handpicked were part of the deal right out of the gate. Much to my chagrin, they were MP3s. Super disappointing after they talk about their 'own high standards for audio quality' (that's a quote out of their fan club FAQ). I signed up for the show access as they don't release many of their live shows. They haven't been to LA in over a year so I don't see them coming here that often that the pre-sale aspect of the fan club was only a small part of my reason for signing up.
They also started a new message board for the fan club. Within the first couple of hours, someone posted what I was thing about the crappy MP3s they offered up. The thread has more posts about this than anything else since it started and the band is just getting hammered on it. Hopefully they relent and offer us some FLAC files.

Until it is changed, I just modify the text to highlight the link. For example, -->CLICK HERE FOR DINNER RECIPE<--See..I add the "-->" and the words "CLICK HERE..." and so on where it says "Text" when adding a link. An easy workaround. And, dinner will be great tonight also! Mark

Voice Over, Streams, and Podcasts, this setup is ready. Question is am I? Have been testing the dbx 286S to get just the right amount of the goodness without over doing it. Great fun. Even made a demo plug for Emotiva Audio for fun for my own consumption of course.

Why is Emotiva making promises to buyers with shipping dates when the products (ERC-3) are being held up in Customs. Just lost a sale because of it, and also earned a good thrashing of your reputation in a Facebook group of over 8000 audio fans.
