    Very "interesting" entertainment center: https://eastnc.craigslist.org/fuo/d/vintage-lacquer-entertainment/6521995606.html

    Isn't it nice how each component has no room to breathe or dissipate heat? Fantastic. And the speakers are up above, with grilles that are in no way shape or form acoustically transparent. Amazing setup.

    Perfect example of more money than sense. To buy those speakers and amps and then put them like that, in that sized untreated room. Crazy.

    Let's not forget their great choice of source: "OPPO BDP-205 deck, Roon Ready used in system as DAC and pre-amp (exceptional high fidelity sound)"

    While maybe not on par with the speakers & amps, the 205 is no slouch.

    Fair enough. Realized that after I posted it. But still, an OPPO wouldn't be my "go to" source if I had this kind of coin to throw around. Shrug.

    This is a pretty good deal on some infinity reference speakers, listing says there are 4 of them for $200, but they’ve got polycells instead of the original emits :disappointed:

    I've never owned an Oppo, though I have heard them, and I'd say the Marantz is on the slightly warmer side. Detailed yet smooth. Pretty good dac. Mechanism is whisper quiet. I think you have to jump up considerably in price to better it. Even though I just got the PSA Directstream combo I doubt I'll sell my 14.

    Is this the same exact model as yours? I thought this one looked newer/older.

    Also, it's silver... boooo

    You will never use the Marantz again after you set to the DirectStream Memory player... it is a couple orders of magnitude better than the Marantz.
