HELP I need alot of audio advice....

I recently purchased a home theatre systems consisting of PSB Image 5ts, 9c and 2bs. My receiver is a Denon 3802. I am running the hsu vtf-3 sub. The cd player is an Apex 800 which is doubling as cd/dvd player. Occasionally, with the help of a well recorded dvd I get great sound; very realistic; but on the norm the stereo cd's and records (played on a Denon DP-47F) sound like dukie. I need some recommendations for upgrades; cables, separates, speakers, cd player or whatever. I'm in much 2 deep....

What are you interconnects? If there are the ones that came with your componets toss them and get some Rat Shack gold or AR's basic interconnects these should be under $20 each and get some 14 ga. wire.

I am going to take it back a step. If you are new to this hobby and dukie sounding means glaring in the mids -I have some bad news. If not- just ignore me.
The "better" your system the more finicky it will be with recordings. (you can blame the recording or the eqipment)If you like to listen to mainstream recordings- just forget about spending more money. However I DO agree with all the preceeding posts-just don't get your expectations too high. I am familiar with the Denon and the PSB-not APEX. Rega, Audio Research, will likely help- but are costly. A highly revealing modded player may not be a good idea. I don't want to ramble on cause I do not have a full understanding of your problem. You can e-mail me if I am on track.

The dvd-963sa is a good choice. It is a very good sounding cd and sacd player. I have not seen its video though. You might also want to look at the Pioneer Elite dv-45a. It plays everything. cd cdr dvd video dvd audio and sacd. I have one in my video system and it plays dvds great (component video out to the hd monitor and digital audio out to the denon receiver.
