Hi Erik, I own a slew of cables from Doug and couldnt be happier. I have put my silvercats against a pair of $500 Mit interconnects and couldnt tell a diff, i put the silvercats against a pair of kimber pbjs and could hear a diff, so more $$$ doesnt always equal better sound. I have video...

Hi Joe, I bought the toshiba about 5 months ago and am very pleased with it. Excellent audio and video performance. It can be had for around $500 which makes it a great choice. Be wary though, some users have a 'buzzing' problem with the transport. I have not had this problem though, so I...
Thanks guys, But is there a book or website that can show me how? Detailed instructions and pics. I've installed an ethernet card, after that I thought i was superman lol. I'll give it a try if I can find some sort of guide. Thanks, Josh
Bruce, Thanks for the link, I'll keep them in mind. Nice systems for little money. Camp, No thanks, I don't quite trust myself enought to build one. I know DIY would save me much denaro but not right now. Thanks guys Josh
Thanks for the replies guys. Kelly: I do not plan on building the pc, I'll probably buy a Dell. I bought one for my wife and really like it, to bad I don't get to use it much. I guess I'll spend the money on the vid card. Thanks again Josh
HI everyone, I'm looking to get a new computer, mostly for online gaming. I have a cable modem so the conn is good but I don't know much about the rest. Should I get a bigger processor (2.0 pentium 4 or higher) or spend the dough on a great video card? Best mouse for gaming. Will...
Hi Matt I too use a pair of Kimber PBJs. They are on the 2 channel analog outputs of my Toshiba 9200 and I feel they sound great. I have spent as much as $200 on interconnects, Catcables silvercats w/wbt rcas and feel they are much more transparent and fuller sounding than the Kimbers...
Hey Ricky, I use the dac in my '333es to feed my Classe integrated amp. The Classe is not digital and I don't have a reciever so I can't comment on the digital out. Thanks, Josh
Patrick,
I think the space issue has to do with the bigger vandies. Now I do have mine out into the room about 4ft, I think, but I've also had them within 2 ft of the wall and they still sound great. I have them where they are now because of the way the system is set up: a big screen in the...
Hi Marvin,
I have a 2 channel only Sony '333es sacd changer, I use Catcables Silvercats. I also have a Toshiba sd9200 dvda player, I'm only using it in 2 channel though with Kimber PBJs.

hey everyone,
I don't toe in my speakers and the image and soundstage are fantastic.
I have Vandersteen model 1c's and the owners manual says not to toe them in. With the bases they use they're tilted back and fire straight forward,
I have tried to toe them in to see if the sound would...
Hey Chris,
I bought the Toshiba sd9200 a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier with it. I have not experienced the transport and hope I don't,lol.
I can't comment on the progressive output, I have an analog set. But the interlaced quality is top notch. The audio side of the player is...
Hey guys,
I am looking to buy some of this cable to build a couple of power cords and wandered if anyone had any extra they'd want to sell. Belden 83802.
Reply here or email me at: [email protected]
Thanks

Hey Doug,
Check out Catcables website and take a look at the connectors. I personally don't have their reg connectors but I don't think they are and bigger than the WBTs, which do not get in each others way.
Good luck,
Josh
Hey guys,
Speaking of new cables, this isn't about Bettercables but since they are in the same price range i figured I'd chime in.
Catcables has a sister company called Quantun, now I've been a Catcable user for a while so this new company has intriqued me.
They have a set of speaker...
Hey Doug,
I use Catcables throughout my system. All of them have the WBT locking rcas which I feel are very easy and simple to use. They don't put any pressure on the rca input when taking off and on, which I feel is the best way to go If you're going to be switching. That way nothing will...
Hi guys,
I have had this player for about 2 months now without any problems. But my friend bought one shortly after I did and has experienced the buzzing sound.
I went over to check it out and there it was. He contacted Toshiba and they said never heard of that problem before!!
They sent...
Thanks Keith,
I'm still not sure what to do. I'd probably sell the 333 first, I have no need for 2 sacd changers. From what I've heard, J and R is selling the 555 for $500, when I see that low of a price it's hard to pass up. Although I have had my eye on the Classe 1.5, someone on audiogons...
Hi there,
I have a Classe 151 integrated amp. The dealer where I bought it said the power will double into 4 ohms.
I use it with Vandersteen 1c speakers and the dealer said it would run the 3a sigs with no problem(4 ohm full range).
I love the amp, I've only had it for a couple of months...
Hi everyone,
I have a sony '333es sacd changer and was wondering if
upgrading to the '555es would make any diffence. I am only interested in two channel.
With the prices dropping on the 555 the upgrade wouldn't be too expensive.
I'll be using it with a classe integrade amp and...
I bought this player about two weeks ago and have had no problems(again, knock on wood). I would think because of all the internet uproar that Toshiba would step up and take care of the problem. I hope your players get fixed, I feel they are great sounding units.
Good luck,
Josh
