Review 2 of 9

Price Paid:  $430.00 from Bing Lee Electronis

Summary:
I researched a lot of DVD players before I decided to buy this one. Someone warned me of the whirring sound that the drive is sometimes akin to, but fortunately I have faced no such problem.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this DVD player has won the Supertest award by What Hi-Fi 2000, so you can't go very wrong with this model. I have a HT setup with a fine receiver in Denon AVR-5800, and you know what, I can use the the decoder buit in the DVD and not tell the difference.

Strengths:
Number of outputs, build

Weaknesses:
None that worries me

Review 3 of 9

Price Paid:  $218.00 from richersounds.co.uk

Summary:
Better than the Nad for sheer sound. It rocks my cd collection and plays a mean dvd. It also has disply shutdown and a funky blue light below the disc tray.

If you love music and dvd this is one for you. Get it form Richer Sounds (they also give a healthy amount of cash to charity per sale!) So, buy a dvd player and give to charity at the same time.

Strengths:
SOUND! PICTURE! PRICE!

Weaknesses:
It gives the impression of being slightly flimsy construction wise especially around the disc tray and on/off button

Review 4 of 9

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Letsbuyit.se

Summary:
Makes an annoying whizzing sound, kind of like a refrigerator... especially on rental DVDs. I rarely hear it on my own DVDs, though, but I can't understand why it's so sensitive.

Not noticable, though, when playing noisy movies.

Strengths:
Great sound, great picture

Weaknesses:
Somewhat noisy.

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

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.
