  1. Very nice. I believe the L in your serial number means 1973. WR might mean Walnut Raw for the original finish. 
     

    I believe value might be $4-600.00 but I haven’t kept up in selling prices (not asking prices cuz those are crazier) if recent times

     

    good luck

  2. well I sent an email (on a Sunday) to the service email address listed for Oppo...I fully expected to get a non deliverable or similar response since I thought Oppo was out of the USA entirely (at least for DVD/Blu-Ray)...to my surprise I received a response and information to send my Oppo back for service...I'll have to pay the flat rate repair service ($99) but they should be able to get my BDP-83 up and running again...

     

    I appreciate the responses here too as I am sure I'll be wanting something newer soon enough but the repair will buy me some time yet...

  3. any recommendations for a Blu-Ray player that is at the lower price point but still quality???...I'd like it to have connections so I can play the newest DTS and Dolby formats...

     

    I haven't bought a Blu-Ray player since I purchased my Oppo BDP-83 and Friday I ham handed the front drawer...I plan to find some repair place to fix what I did to the front drawer (nothing plastic broken but I forced the drawer open over the plastic gears and can't seem to get it back to normal with my skill set ;) ...

     

    thanks for any input you care to share...

  4. I bought a MacBook Pro from Thaddeus Smith on this Forum...nice price...still runs fine...and I've used it not only to listen to music before but also to respond to threads on this Forum...

     

    Good luck with your sale...trusted seller

  5. well the HBR means Heresy Birch Raw and that peeling stuff isn't Birch by the looks of it...I'd say poorly veneered by someone...perhpas the speakers look much better underneath that peeling stuff...nice little project for someone...

  6. I certainly couldn't afford most any of those receivers but I do remember those times and going to Pacific Stereo, Musicraft, HiFi Hutch and the like around ChicagoLand to see and hear some of these...I enjoyed the video and walk down memory lane...thanks

  7. although not as old as some here I think any of the Nakamichi SR or TA series that are of the Nelson Pass STASIS variety (TA-1 need not apply) sound wonderful with Klipsch...I have tried my TA-2A as well as an older and less powerful SR-2A with kg2s, Heresies, Quartet, Chorus ll, RB-5s and probably others...very nice indeed...

  8. I didn't want to start a new thread on this since this one exists albeit a bit old now...so...is anyone still enjoying their Panasonic SA-XR55 digital with Klipsch for 2 channel???

     

    I had to return a Nakamichi TA-2A that I borrowed and at least for the time being I placed this in a system with a Cambridge Audio Azur 640C V2 with both Diana Krall and Norah Jones singing sweetly but separately (ladies please! ;) ) through Bob and Michael Crites updated Klipsch Quartets...

     

    I haven't listened to this combo in quite some time for 2 channel sound...very nice and very clean...

     

    I'd like to hear back from those that still enjoy this or have moved on and to what...share if you care to...

     

    Thanks,
