Review 1 of 11

Price Paid:  $245.00 from Brandnamez.com

Summary:
Great DVD Prog-Scan Player! This unit is comparable to my friend's Pioneer Elite that he paid close to $1000 for. We watched X-Men on his Pioneer and my JVC back to back and he felt ripped off. For the money, this player can't be beat for under $250. Remote does suck, but fortunately my Onkyo remote does just fine.

Strengths:
Prog-Scan Clarity Simplistic design Price

Weaknesses:
Remote Sucks

Review 2 of 11

Price Paid:  $245.00 from Brandnamez.com

Summary:
This is a great Progressive Scan player. For the price, there is not much better out there. My friend who spent close to $1000 on a Pioneer Elite P-Scan said this is just as good, as we set them up one after another and watched X-Men. This remote is kinda weak, but fortunately I have an Onkyo receiver that rocks and that remote is just fine. I would say this is a steal if you can find it under $225.

Strengths:
P-Scan Picutre Clarity Simplistic Design

Weaknesses:
Remote Control

Review 3 of 11

Price Paid:  $230.00 from Future Shop

Summary:
This is my first DVD player and I'm very happy with it, it definitly makes my old 28" TV look better. I obviously haven't used the P-scan feature yet but I have used the mp3's, which works okay but sometimes it has trouble with playing the very odd track, it will sound like it is skipping and playing through the track at 1oo mph, but all i have to do is start the track over again and it plays fine. You can't skip through the track at all, which sucks, and if you use folders on your mp3 discs it will not automatically go to the next folder and play it, you have to go back through the menu and enter the next one manually. Other than that its a great unit a/v wise

Strengths:
Audio and video quality are great. It can play mp3s. It has progressive scan output. Great price.

Weaknesses:
Some minor mp3 quirks.

Review 4 of 11

Price Paid:  $149.00 from VANNS.com

Summary:
Did a lot of research before I bought this. (Much came from this site) I notice the picture sometimes "shakes" a bit but quickly goes away and is not noticed. Other than that, this is a great DVD player. My third one so far. I can see the clarity in this but it does take a keen eye. I like the features such as automatically adjusting between 16:9 and 4:3 and the true 2:3 pulldown. The menu and setup is not really straightforward but I got through it as I am sure most of you would.

Strengths:
Lightweight, low profile and slim design. Very happy with visual and audio quality. Would reccommend to other HDTV users to complete the line doubler feature...ESPECIALLY for this price!

Weaknesses:
Takes a while to eject, and load from the slow reacting tray.

Seven days old and it will not recognize DVDs. Have played 3-4 movies. No easy fix-am returning for refund. Bought this to replace a Sony DVP-S360-see 482 bad reviews of that POS on this sight.

Strengths:
Decent picture with my trinitron.

Weaknesses:
Bad unit in my case.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
