In Reply to: You should check out the thread on AVS Forum ... posted by Christine Tham on December 22, 2009 at 13:45:10:
During the entire HD DVD vs Blu-ray rollout, AVS destroyed its own reputation as far as I'm concerned.
Like I said, I don't have the listening experience to weigh in one way or another on Ric's comments, but I do think his point is valid about NuForce's overhead versus mods who don't have those expenses and can give you more parts/labor bang for your buck. I do think your point is equally valid about NuForce's relationship with Oppo and am very interested in your comments as your player breaks in and you are able to compare it with your Sony SACD player. Please let us know your impressions. I posted the link to Ric's site for purposes of discussion.
