I am always on my A game, except when I'm not....thanks though! That was absolutely the first thing that popped into my head.

And, it looks marvelous!

They feature a different product every day. Sometimes they have some really good deals. Sometimes it's just junk. agree with this, but a few good deals once in a while. Not just refurb either. New stuff too.

Don't know anything at all about this, but thought someone might find it useful for a garage/workshop setup... http://sellout.woot.com/offers/sony-725w-5-2-channel-4k-a-v-receiver-18?utm_source=Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=b0ba506c3e-Daily+Digest+-+20150306+-+Sellout.Woot&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c5ca76da11-b0ba506c3e-300558293#tracked

Thought the same thing.

I think you should contact Roberto Duran. That question has vexed experts for many years....

Earl and I already had this conversation...he told me the only things he's bringing are a half full bottle of Tylenol, a spare pair of glasses, and his phone. No change of clothes, no toothbrush. I got the impression that he's comfortable with stale clothing and gargling with scotch. I mean, he is an attorney after all.....

Should be fun to watch the bidding.

You need K-Horns for those corners!!

Thanks for the help. Will be fooling around with all of it this weekend.

I took all of those back at U of M in '75.....I think.

OK, so, where are the music classes? Or, How to write snarky forum comments 301? Or Advanced Beer Pong? Cmon dude....

Don't really agree with the above....totally depends on your router speed, the devices you are connecting. If you are relatively satisfied with what you have now, leave it be, don't pay the extra dough.

I am frequently mistaken for a rock....so I don't understand what you mean here....the left and right outputs from the Oppo go to the receiver, and the speaker cables to....the speakers.... The Oppo has a sub output of course, but in Stereo, it does not function. The Velodyne has both inputs and output connections.

No one else with an Oppo 103? Really?, or a 105?

Oh my, that's a classic....

He listed a phone number as well..... 3152437913

Are you sure????

No, actually trying to get the old toy configured properly. i picked up a Velodyne 15 inch sub the other day that someone gave me because it "didn't work"....guess what? Took the panel off the back, found the fuse, and....voila!! Got me thinking about putting subs in the mix again, (I have 3 and never use them...). So that's why I'm asking questions about the Oppo. Tried doing some searches on the web of course, and it's a nightmare....The Oppo is hugely capable, but I only do 2 channel, so a lot of it's capabilities are wasted on me. I really only take advantage of the video processing and a little of the audio features. I don't "need" the subs hooked in with the Belles and Chorus II's, I just want to experiment with it a bit.....

OK, I get it.....But here's another question...If the source is CD, say, a classic Santana disk, would the output of LT/RT and Stereo be the same? Or is there some other funky manipulation going on prior to the LT/RT output? This is what I'm trying to get to....I have the FR and FL outputs from the 103 out to a vintage Pioneer SX-1250 receiver (obviously no sub output). I want to incorporate a sub into my 2 channel setup with my Belles and Chorus II's. If I set the 103 to Stereo mode, there will be no sub output from the 103. If I set it to LT/RT, there is a sub output. If I then set the speaker sizes to small for FR and FL, I can then use the bass management of the 103. I think....correct? Or is there a better way? Will the LT/RT mode mix properly with the sub output? BTW, I do not do any Home Theater surround, at all.

As you know, there are several configuration choices for speakers on this machine, including LT/RT, Stereo, etc. My question: is there still channel separation in the LT/RT mode, or is this more of a L/R mono mode? The owners manual is not very clear. Thanks.

That explains why I am having trouble with the turntable. You wish......

If you find a better deal than that, tell us!!
