| Oppo BDP 83SE- RESULTS ARE IN What were the differences? Did it sound "better" via the Oppo SE or the Onkyo? | |
| ss multi-ch. amps vs multi seperate amps any adv. Monoblocks are usually not the best answer in practical applications.Unless you have a dedicated 20 or 30 amp circuit in your power box, you will short out your 15 amp breaker with 5-7 monoblocks + tv + etc etc. | |
| Is Krell onto something? I am assuming that in order to obtain this effect, Krell processes the center channel input into two outputs?If so, wouldn't that degrade the signal from just having one center channel, since all blu-rays are currently mixed with only one discrete... | |
| Panasonic TC-54G25 or Samsung PN58C550? I think the G25 is superior quality to the 550.However, I do believe the additional 4" makes a noticeable difference.Hometheatermag.com has reviewed a G25 and kept it on for over 1000 hours and has shown no loss of black levels in their controlled... | |
| Oppo BDP 83SE- RESULTS ARE IN I guess I was misled by that phrase, lol...just seemed a little difficult to read for my little brain! :)Anyway, I see your point. I am definitely a novice in HT/Hi-Fi stuff, but definitely an enthusiast.Would like to hear more thoughts on Oppo SE... | |
| Oppo BDP 83SE- RESULTS ARE IN Queefee,I never meant to imply skipping the processor/pre-amp all together.I still would use the analog outs from the Oppo hooked up to a Processor/Pre-amp to use their . I'm no pro, but I don't think it's possible/ideal to hook up a DVD player st... | |
| Oppo BDP 83SE- RESULTS ARE IN Ouch Dbphd, double negative in your sentence, that was painful to read!Isn't the case not really using HDMI vs analog, but using the Oppo's DAC converter vs the Onkyo or PS3?i.e. using Analog outputs sounds better with the Oppo because the Oppo SE... | |
| Laserdisc Dynamics vs Blu Ray I will have to agree with you about the value of an uncompressed PCM soundtrack.I have Backdraft on LD and I just keep it on PCM stereo, which sounds terrific.Using Dolby PLII leaves something to be desired though.I just wish they'd get as cheap a... | |
| BD & 240hz. I have seen this on BB demo's as well. I believe this called the "Soap Opera Effect" and is basically a characteristic of LCD/LED technology.Perhaps turning on the 24fps feature would lessen the "fake" effect? | |
| B&W CM Center vs CM Center 2? Can you elaborate on how it sounds better than the CMC? Does the advantage of the FSR Mid-Range really show through? | |
| Review of Emotiva Processors My reasoning to go for Rotel Processor and Emo amps was mainly to avoid the bugs of their UMC-1.Instead of buying used Rotel amps and a new Emo Processor, I would rather buy new Emo amps and a used Rotel processor. Purely price point based logic. ... | |
| Review of Emotiva Processors You can find some feedback on these processors at emotiva lounge.com (company-sponsored forums). Their current processor (UMC-1) has been VERY buggy, but SQ is reportedly good (when it works correctly).Emo products are pretty good for the money, m... | |
| Dolby True HD vs. DTS HD I disagree with you Johnny. While true that the Marantz cannot convert the native bitstream DTS HD/DD THD it can read a PCM signal.My PS3 is decoding the DTS HD/DD THD into a PCM signal and sending it to my Marantz via HDMI (no optical cable used)... | |
| Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83 Kal,Just to clarify, (please excuse my noobness)so having the audio coming from the 7.1 analog outputs will have a higher quality signal than using HDMI?This would be news to me and I have capabilities for both in my current set-up. I just thought... |
