Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $910.00 from NFM

Summary:
This set has a killer picture. The Invar shadow mask is worth the extra bucks. Everyone comments on the sharpness and clarity. I've got it hooked up to a Bose surround system so the cyclone sub and internal speakers aren't no big deal. Has composite inputs for DVD. Has a variety of viewing modes-sports/movie/standard/preference. Preference stores the settings(contrast, brightness etc)you input. Have had no problems at all. Highly recommend.

Strengths:
Kick butt picture. Remote easy to use and has the favorite channel feature with over 10 channels instead of the worthless 2 or 3.

Weaknesses:
Don't expect your girlfriend to haul this set up two flights of stairs -160 lb.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $1080.00 from Karl's-Sioux Falls,

Summary:
Sony dvp s360 quit so bought Onkyo S555 to replace. While shopping, checked out this Toshiba and bought it. Had Philips TP3284C1 - same white vertical ghostlike bars - no solution and, in my opinion, just as big a consumer fraud as the Sony in terms of failure of Philips to address the problem by recalling and replacing sets, based on what I can find on the internet. Back to the Toshiba - great sound, even without my home theater speakers. Super picture in every respect, some good options regarding settings and adjustments. When paired with my Toshiba and using component video, there is a noticeable and vastly improved difference in the quality of dvd viewing. Regular cable looks better, too, in my opinion. Was tempted to go the HD route, but glad I saved the money. Price paid was comparable best deal I could find on internet less over $125 given that I did not have to incur shipping expense. Can't say enough good things about this, sorry this is not so specific, but a great product. Have seen 36" Sonys (non flat screen) with pictures I think are inferior. Have not noticed any issues with the flat screen yet, and really like the difference. Have not yet found or ordered video essentials package, but strongly considering.

Strengths:
Picture quality and sound quality. Plus, I love the remote, which is good, because as good as the Onkyo DVD player is, the Onkyo remote is terrible.

Weaknesses:
None.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

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.
