| PS3 or DVD1800BD I own the Denon 2500 also. It is head and shoulders above the PS3 as far as picture quality and sound quality are concerned. Denon has stepped up and supported the 2500 with firmware upgrades. Many stand alone Blu Ray players have needed firmware ... | |
| PS3 or DVD1800BD Hey Pdjmwj. If you go over to the Denon 2500 thread at AVS, soemeone there will be more than happy to burn you a disc. Did You get your unit from an authorized dealer? | |
| Denon 3808 or 2809 If I were you, I'd get the 3808. It is a better unit than the 2809. You will have a more feature rich receiver. The 2809 will be a level step down from the 3808. Lots of good deals out there on them too. I have a 5308CI and I love it. | |
| what does everybody think about 120hz and lcd's 120hz is terrific. I have an XBR4 and it utilizes 120hz and I really prefer it to my XBR2 which was only 60hz. I guess the XBR7 has 240Hz available. I don't know what kind of improvement over 120hz 240hz is. Maybe just a gimmick. It's so hard to k... | |
| New amp or new cd player? How about one of the Rega cd players? | |
| Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...? Hands down, Visions of the Emerald Beyond. Michael Walden replaced Billy Cobham on drums and Jean Luc Pony replaced Sugar Cane Harris on violin. Who would have thought that Billy Cobham was replaceble? Walden was spectacular on this record. Jean L... | |
| Do I need a record cleaning machine It is imperative that new albums get a good wet cleaning and vacuum dry before a stylus ever meets the grooves. I recommend a good three step process like Audio Intelligent or Walker products. Those enzymatic agents work miracles. | |
| Surround speakers options? I have asome Totem Lynks Dipole speakers that I use for surrouds. They have a switch on the back that can be engaged or not depending on where you have them mounted. Pretty nice sounding speakers. I bought them used on Audiogon for around $599. Go... | |
| Roku player now streaming HD movies from Netflix After reading about it I see that it does indeed have HDMI connectivity. It doesn't say anything about audio quality though. Anyone running one of these through their home theater receiver? How does it sound? | |
| Roku player now streaming HD movies from Netflix I have an HTPC and I didn't want the ROKU because I run my HTPC through my HT receiver. What's so great about high def if the sound is coming from the little speakers on your flat panel? Does the Roku have HDMI to plug into a recever? Does it offe... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Theo, I use my computer as an HTPC. I have a video card with an HDMI output and I run it through my Home Theater Receiver. My montitor is a 52 inch Sony XBR4. The result is stunning. | |
| Best Bookshelf/Monitors Speakers? Suggestions Maybe look into a pair of used Proacs. I had a pair of the 2.8 that I bought used from a dealer for about 2k. These were unbelieveably good sounding speakers. They had amazing bass response and were very effecient. I drove them with a VAC Rennaiss... | |
| Is this a good deal for a used system?? I would pass on it. The newer receivers have made a quantum leap in technology. I've never been a big fan of Difinitive speakers either. Do yourself a favor and hit up some audio video salons for some demos of new equipment. It will blow your mind... | |
| HD Music downloads vs CD purchases. Just a point of information. Porcupine Tree, my current faveorite rock band has some Hi Rez downloads available on their website. They sound excellent. I believe the name of their website is Burning Shed. | |
| RIP Freddie Hubbard RIP Freddie. I have lots of his records. Red Clay has to be my favorite. I got to see him live in Milwaukee in the 70's at a small jazz venue called Teddys. |
