Sir Triode

It would very easy to further upgrade with a minimal amount of parts. Replace the two coupling caps with Teflon equivalents and the ALPS blue pot with something like a Noble or TKD.

I have the full set of these - they are not too warm not too revealing. Just right.

I have the same setup. They haven't even been broken in yet. I think you are selling yourself short if you think that at 250 hours that you have heard what these can do. Once broken in, I don't think you'd be selling them. BTW, there is no difference between a pair that has been upgraded and ones that have been built as SEs from the factory.

@Hiddenletters has picked up the sub but he hadn't donated to SNA yet. He says that he will do it later today. I'm holding him to that promise.

I'll PM you the link.

LOL - I didn't do it I swear - it was done by the guy I purchased it off and that was more than 8 years ago when I got the sub. To be honest, I didn't notice it till I posted the ad (and I went - Oh God! this will get me banned for sure). I didn't even see it after taking the photos on my Iphone.

Ok if I get no bites, I'll send it to you. Pity about the drivers though - would be a waste to chuck them out.

It will probably end up in the tip or council hard rubbish pickup if not taken.

Nah - I just had a cursory scan through it. I am not interested in the Oppo. After all the troubles that I read you had with the 203 and my own personal experience with my Oppo 93. I was surprised that people still want to purchase from the brand. The fact that you have to deal with their main office instead through the dealer you purchased is ridiculous, you shouldn't have to jump through those sort of hoops to get support. It would cheaper IMO to get a UB400 (or cheap 4K BD player, looks like the UB900 is no longer available in the stores) and a separate SACD/CD player esp for the 205 which is selling for circa $1800.

Weren't you the one that reported having issues with dealing with Oppo over the problems with your 203? I vaguely remember problems with resolution when playing UHD disks compared to the UB900. I've had the UB900 now since May and it has been flawless and have not had to call Panasonic at all, as for updates, I just turned it on last night and it automatically downloaded the latest update.

I'm puzzled, after all of the bugs being reported by early adopters of the 203/205s and the lack of support from Oppo. Why would anyone still buy either unit? Are you guys into Sadomasochism?

The S versions were not full Class A but used sliding bias.
