For Clarity. Clint did NOT write this review. He posted it for a new reviewer Rob H that actually wrote it after he bought the sub for his own personal usage. I will try to get him to comment further on his setup and methodology in the forum. Epik looks like they make nice products so if...

The idea of this system is all of the components come from bad robot. Most consumers wouldn't mind spending the extra $15 for the Impact HDMI cable seeing how the convenience of assembling an entire system at one place of purchase is true value add. Not to mention bad robot took an...

As the article clearly states both in the page title and content, these were analog measurements. You can NOT measure analog audio via HDMI. There are several possible reasons why their graph doesn't agree with mine: they set their speakers all to small. You can't tell since their graph...

As promised here is my test report documenting the current hardware/firmware issues of both players. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/transports/high-definition-dvd-players-hd-dvd-blu-ray/oppo-bdp-83se Oppo has read this report, acknowledged these issues I found and is currently working...

WooHoo Audioholics didn't make that list :D

I requested a 10 meter sample for testing which costs almost as much as all of the A/V gear in my rack :)

At this point, I'd advise getting the 83 model instead of the SE. I will publish a report of my findings next week as I already made Oppo aware and they are working on some fixes. I offer some suggestions as workarounds for fellow 83SE owners until this is addressed by Oppo. Stay tuned...

Fellow 83SE users that are using the analog outputs please post your experiences here. I found a measurable issue that will be included in my test report that is only exhibited on the 83SE version. I want to see if people are experiencing it. I won't give the details as I don't want to...

Steve; I have about 20 HD DVD's. PM me for details. I will give you a hot deal.

Friends; My bro rented this from Blockbuster and he claims the R rated version was blocked as were all the special features and menu items. He called Blockbuster and they claimed this is purposely done on rentals to force consumers to buy the copy. Can anyone verify this?

The importance of anechoic chambers for testing loudspeakers is highly over stated and lately used as a marketing ploy by many companies claiming their products are better for that very reason. A good loudspeaker engineer knows how to properly measure their speakers without one. That...

Now had the mom and pop shop happened to own an online store with a coupon barcode, I am quite certain you would have tried to pull the same gimmick on them too. Now from a mom/pop shop point of view, if you went into their store and offered them $300 for a $500 Oppo player and they declined...

Agreed and perhaps the folks at the AH E-store need to check to make sure that fail safe is in place for all canceled orders. Good suggestions. It doesn't seem the Audioholics E-store is the right place for you. I recommend you try Amazon or Crutchfield as you will likely be happier over there.

Most consumers can't handle a bumpy graph nor do they know how to read it. They want a smooth curve to make them feel all warm and fuzzy. I like to feel like that too but there are better ways to get that feeling :D

If you want to know what is really going on, measure it! Not sure why you would expect an auto eq system to do that for you. If you're happy with the end results, don't worry about it.

Most companies don't do this and an experienced designer knows how to do a summed nearfield response of their loudspeaker to take the room out the equation. Anechoic chambers simply make it easier to measure a loudspeaker but they aren't necessary for design or specing a product.

I am NOT dismissing the merits of Audyssey. I use it myself. All I am trying to tell people is NOT to take their printouts as any reality of what is really happening in your room. These are NOT in-room measurements before and after. They are theoretical before/after results. Only advanced...

You don't need an Audyssey employee to tell you that the graphs they are producing aren't: 1. actual measurements 2. aren't any better than 1 octave resolution, just look at them sorry but its like asking a weatherman if its raining outside while your standing in the middle of a torrential...

OK I watched Trek on Blu-ray last night and actually enjoyed it more than I did in the theaters. I realized I am a bit too much of a trekkie over analyzing and being over critical of the movie. It had some serious flaws from a Trek standpoint and basic physics but it was still enjoyable...
