Review 2 of 14

Price Paid:  $225.00

Summary:
This is a pretty good player. I got it for $225 Canadian so I thought it was a good deal at the time considering I would have had to pay about $400 for an RCA 5220P. I've rented several DVDs from netflix.com that were pretty badly scratched and it never had a problem playing them. This player also has component outputs, digital audio outs, composite video, and of course S-video out. It's a rebadged Panasonic A-120, but after comparing it with that model the Kenwood had quite a few more useful features than the Panasonic and a better warranty. No CD-R support is a bad thing, but my Kenwood CD player plays them fine so I shouldn't really complain about that. Overall though, a good deal for the price and I would assume the 2001 DV-403 should be comparable in quality and features.

Strengths:
Nice remote, easy to use and setup, never locked up on a disc that I've tried in it.

Weaknesses:
No DD decoder built in, no CD-R playback, but still good for the price.

Review 3 of 14

Summary:
This is my first DVD player, which I bought after reading the reviews here. After two weeks of use on all kinds of DVDs (included the dreaded DVD-buster "The Matrix"), I can honestly say I have found no flaws. Everything plays and sounds great.

My advice? Don't buy a cheaper player. Spend a little more (I paid $200) and get something of this quality.

Strengths:
Fine playback quality; great digital sound

Weaknesses:
None that I can see or hear

none

Review 4 of 14

Summary:
I bought this beauty from Ubid. $189.00! What a great deal! It was not even Refurbished! The best deal I could find anywhere else was $289.00! Considering what I paid for it, I could not be happier. Now if I could only win the V309 reciever with AC-3 and DTS...

Strengths:
Easy to use. Has played all movies perfectly so far.

Weaknesses:
none

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.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
