    Bookshelf Speaker Roundup of 2017 AXPONA

    Elacs above look decent and given the Pedigree If I was looking for spendy large bookshelves I would look into those outside of what I have in the music room that are fine for my needs. I have 4 ELAC B6 in a 5.1 array recently purchased sight unseen but given the pedigree, buzz and credible...

    What Player should I Look at??

    PS 3 is considered a reference Blu ray player I use it on my Samsung 64f8500 reference quality plasma and 2015 Sony 4K Sony Triluminos HDR TV, the Sony Wide Color Gamut 4K HDR TV can stretch well beyond a 5 star Blu Ray anyway . Vudu HDX 1080p streaming matches a five star blu ray disc , you...

    CD Player quality essential?

    Get a cheap but decent Blu Ray player like a Sony or Samsung for under a benjamin and use HDMI out for external decoding , Loose the coaters or digitize them correctly to spinning metal with a PC ODD and or instead just get millions of lossless 16/44 FLAC tracks and albums you can't possibly...

    Oppo BDP-103D Blu-ray Player with Darbee Visual Presence Review

    I'm sure its decent with a not very good TV but IMO and some of the experts with something like a decent Sony or Samsung 4K HDR TV it's a waste of a decent Oppo and even more so with the 2017 3 - 4 Upper tier Sony X1 extreme processing models or my 2015 X1 reality Pro 4K HDR Sony and similar...

    Sound United Acquires D&M Group (Denon,Marantz, boston)

    right D & M outside of Denon product *at the better model tiers holds little interest to me and Marantz never in its current state of decline going back to the genuine well regarded 1970's Marantz of Japan inc.

    Free HDTV Calibration Procedure

    All that depends on the TV but some of them are at least nearly accurate to D65 white and bt709 like that .....OTOH all that may not look so hot on the usual color stripped CATV/SAT DBS HDTV either ☺

    Free HDTV Calibration Procedure

    Very good article I used the (free) AVS HD709 calibration and sharpness and over scan patterns direct from a USB HDD into my 2015 4K Sony XBR HDR TV and Samsung 64f8500 Plasma to make basic calibration /visual adjustments without a colorimeter with good results but a lot of that always...

    Yamaha BD-S681 and AVENTAGE BD-A1060 Blu-ray Player Preview

    My 2015 4K Sony XBR HDR TV probably has a better upscale than anything short of a dedicated professional production video processor so I'm not convinced a $300.00 plus Rather ordinary sounding up scaling 1080p BD player is anything I want instead if a 4K BD player and I have a PS3 reference...

    Best 1080p HDTV's 2015, 2016

    Sony 55w800C doesent get real bright but it aint bad at all ( I saw them at BB) good contrast and blacks without a dodgy low led count Vizio Fald array that may reduce brightness and adds blooming in those price ranges for all that and it is a Sony Andoid TV with a REAL premium OS and lotta...

    Best 1080p HDTV's 2015, 2016

    IRRC it took a good while for larger CCFL LCD to ramp up after they came out with little ones so The Digital Chip based RP sets were an interim thing maybe . I still have a View sonic 19" 4:3 LCD TFT PC monitor I don't use anymore from 2005 maybe and that thing was like nearly $500.00 and...
