Thanks, I'm sorry for you as well. Looks like you got it worse than me. I already looked online and found a new tail light lens for $28, less than I thought it would be. I have to look at the black line on the box better in the morning, but it looks like it may buff out. I have a higher deductible on my insurance to keep the cost lower, so I doubt I'll report it.

Hey Rick. Whats your opinion of that Oppo for sacd use. How does it stack up against that Marantz ( silly question i know).
9

Rick88
11-17-2011, 01:45 AM
The Oppo is pretty good as a music player, but where it really shines is in its' video performance. About 10 months after I purchased the Oppo I came upon a great deal ($199) for a $1000 msrp Pioneer Elite DV-79AVi universal DVD player, so I purchased one. I basically figured I would use it for CD/SACD/DVD-A playback to save wear and tear on the Oppo, not knowing how it would sound compared to the Oppo. It sounded better than the Oppo (through the analog outs) to me, so I was pleased with the purchase.
But the audio nut in me decided I wanted a true high end audio only player. I didn't want there to be the chance of any video circuitry degrading the audio signal of my beloved music, and I had never owned a true high end source component. So I researched for awhile and decided on the Marantz. I feel I made a wise choice as it is truly in a whole other league compared to any other I have owned...

Yeah, the Marantz Reference Series are pricey. I couldn't afford to pay full price for one either, that's why I went with a used one for $1200. Even then I had to save for about a month and sell some things. I am not familiar with that model Onkyo, but it is probably a fine sounding unit. I have heard and would recommend the Marantz SA-8003/8004's, they sound very good. They can be found for $400-500 used. Are you set on a brand new unit?

5.0 out of 5 stars QUITE POSSIBLY CAREER DEFINING, October 13, 2010
By James N. Perlman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Living Proof (Vinyl) (Vinyl)
This triumphant album opens with the song "74 Years Young." The song begins quietly as Buddy looks back at his life. But when he hits the bridge he lays down a savage guitar solo that: a) owes as much to Link Wray as it does to the blues and b) displays what 74 years young really means. This song is followed by another autobiographical song where he tells the story of his early life in Louisiana where, as a child, he taught himself to play a two-string guitar. Again, a blistering lead is the musical centerpiece. Track three, "On The Road" is a more "conventional" blues work-up, horns and all. Another fantastic track, where, after the fade at the end, one can hear a band-member saying "Yeah" in appreciation. Track four is the duet with B.B. King. It's pure magic. And the coda, where Buddy and B.B. speak to one another, is just about as moving a moment as one can find in recorded music. In the duet with Carlos Santana, Buddy shows he can do Latin rhythms side-by-side with the master. And so it goes for an hour or so, one great track after another.
Frankly, I can find possibly only one track, "Too Soon" that might be just a tad too tame or formulaic. But this is followed by the terrific final fours songs on the album, which include "Let The Door Hit Ya" and "Guess What" (both with Buddy in full sexual swagger). So one possibly formulaic song in an hour's worth of new music is a something I will take any day of the week.
An argument could be mounted that this is Buddy's career defining album. At 74, his skills are still intact and he remains a consummate songwriter, with something new to offer, both in his lyrics and certainly in his music.** It is kind of a wonder that people like Buddy, and the lesser know and somewhat older Hubert Sumlin, can still excite you with high level performances.
The production, at least on the vinyl pressing, is outstanding. I don't know if, or how much, compression will appear on the CD, but this is an album that was clearly recorded pretty much live in the studio, with probably few, if any, overdubs; so the sound is organic and real. Consequently, it benefits from being heard in the analog domain of vinyl. Plus, the vinyl may end up being some sort of collector's item as all the music appears on the first three sides leaving the fourth side blank so it can be devoted to a really cool etching in the vinyl of a portion of the guitar on the back of the LP cover. My only complaint about the vinyl release is there are no liner notes to show songwriting credits, song personnel, etc. But, at this price, for a double LP which is a very quiet pressing, this is a very small complaint.
The pre-release rumors here in Chicago were: "You got to hear this one when it comes out." Boy, were the rumors right!
** 10/24/10 At the time I wrote this review, as indicated above, I was without songwriting credit. Now that I have learned the songwriting credits, this sentence requires modification. Buddy shares songwriting credit on five of the twelve tracks on this album with drummer/producer, Tom Hambridge. On six of the seven the remaining tracks, Hambridge shares songwriting credit with either Gary Nicholson or Richard Fleming (Who also receives songwriting credit on two of the Guy/Hambridge compositions.). One song is credited to Hambridge alone.

I use the spin-clean record cleaning system with great results. Even though most of the used vinyl I purchase is in excellent condition, I never play any until I clean them first. Also, I use a record cleasning brush before every play... :loneranger:
