Recommendations of replacement SACD/DVDA/CD players
July 1, 2013
I figure that the PS3 with its NetFlix app via HDMI would handle any unlikely BD viewing and more likely Netflix viewing, which should sound good since it would be equalized by Audessey. I like the setup and love the prices better. Got the Denon DVD-2900 for $36 and the Modus Music center for $70, so very good deal especially on the player ... more

I decided on the Denon DVD-2900, for having audio capabilities that are supposed to be on par with the Denon 3910. I also own a Yamaha S2500 and Oppo 105 and a Oppo DVD-980H.

Hello all. As my main gear, I have an Oppo BDP-105 in my living room as my main player and I love it love it love it.

Best sub for music for around $300-$400?
July 28, 2012
NVM on suggesting a place to buy one, I have found a couple of spots that sell the PDR-10 and its newer version, the PDR-100. I have not found a place to buy the PDR-8, but did find a few spots to buy the PDR-80. Thus far, I think I am most interested (in this order): 1) Emotiva X-ref 10 for $399 2) Paradigm PDRs 3) Energy ESW-M8 4) Wharfedale ... more
