As long as Pat Mastelloto isn't on drums, I will check it out. Opeth has some great music when they aren't doing death metal. I wish they would stick more with progressive rock.

Energy Savings Scam: I just had a company come over my house claiming they could assess our energy usage so we can get a $4k rebate from the Government. It was nothing more than a sales pitch to buy solar water heating and attic cooling. He tried to convince us on buying their system which was...

yea I figured it was time for a change :D

If you are sending 5.1 via analog outs of the Oppo to the Soundstage, it will not recombine the sub channel to the mains if you set it to 5.0 b/c it will ignore the sub input. I suggest buying an amp for your sub, making it active and using the sub connection. You will be a lot happier.

If I may chime in here, in my family room system, I am running the following speakers: Status Acoustics Decimos (similar to 61-SE/R but with improved cabinets) 661-SE/R center channel 44-SE side channels MC-615 in-ceiling back surrounds In a wide open room like mine, the 44-SE's...

You're sub is much better performance wise. I wanted something so small that it could be hidden under my desk behind my paper shredder. My office is only 10ft x 6ft so I didn't need much sub in here. Nobody even knows there is a hidden sub in my office. The system is a sleeper and I love it...

Very nice. I have those same signatures on my T30s :)

DD EX is louder b/c it has much more compression. If you level matched both formats you would likely prefer the uncompressed sound of TrueHD.

If memory serves, there are independent channel calibrations for DD/DTS and the multi channel input so you need to calibrate for both scenarios. If you set the processor for 5.1 and don't use a sub, the LFE channel will NOT combined back to the mains. You need to go into your DVD player...

No I didn't try any subs but EMP acknowledged the gain is a bit high on the line level out. You can try using it, but I had better results speaker level with the Velodyne sub I used.

hmm, looks like they recently raised the sale price. I fixed it in the review. I also knocked the value score down 1/2 point as a result :( thanks.

sounds like a problem with the digital clocking or oscillator circuit. Its either going bad or you have a bad solder joint. The 992 was a good receiver. I had it for a time but it lacks DTS and the latest surround formats. It may be time for an upgrade and sending the 992 into another room...

Superbad Wedding Crashers Semi-Pro Dodgeball Death to Smoochy

good point but that would also involve a chassis change to accomodate. They keep the production costs low by sharing two models on the same platform.

I requested a review sample from Oppo. I will bench the 2 players side by side to see what is happening.

I don't even use the analog outs of my BDP-83 but I feel the itch to upgrade myself just because it says "Special Edition" :)

Don't get afflicted with my disease. You don't know how much lost sleep I've had just wondering if I could tweak my system an extra 1/2 dB better and how much "improved" sound I could get when RBH launches their new Status lineup. I am actually getting ready to recalibrate my system in an...

Good deal. You should post some before and after pics. My family room speakers are installed on a cabinet and I used Auralex Mopads to decouple them which worked out great. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/acoustics/auralex-mopads-monitor-isolation

In-room measurements look like that and usually worse.

The DVD-A1UDCI has the best sounding analog outputs I've ever heard in a DVD or Blu-ray player. Its that good! It's built like a tank and is also very good at isolating vibrations as evident while I was whacking on it playing a CD and it never skipped. I've had situations where I've placed a...
