The only Yamaha receivers I didn't find bright are the new batch, and also the DSP-A1. The new batch of receivers have lost that harshness that have plagued older Yammies like the 2092, 2095, Z1, 2200, 630, and 730 which I have tried. All are great receivers, just with a bit of harsness on the...
I have had a Yamaha RX-V2095 since '99 and recently took it in to be serviced. I had been using it in the bedroom system after I upgraded to a B&K preamp for the theater, but I always loved this receiver which was why I took it in instead of just getting rid of it. Anyway I went ahead and bought...
Jared, I think I know what you are talking about. While I wouldn't describe what I heard as "farting" I did hear an extra bit of harshness from the center channel. Kinda like a raspy, crackling sound during some loud shouting scenes.
Agreed with Matt. The Gattaca SB version is far better not only visualy, but fidelity wise too with the added DTS track. As a person who has OWNED both the SB version is worth the upgrade, by far.:)
MatthewW, yeah I had the same thing happen with the sub. I went ahead and tried the new setting, but it just sounded incredibly week. I also noticed the DD/DTS sub settings were a little farther apart than what I had using the S&V setup disc. DTS sub setting was +7 on S&V and +13 with DVE higher...
Yeah way to many to mention, but a few that I use regularly: AOTC (pretty much the whole movie) The Matrix (The rain scenes like Neo under the bridge are breathtaking) FOTR Seven Years in Tibet Seven The Count of Monte Cristo and alot more that deserve mention.
In a perfect world they would go back to dual releases, and just limit the number of any movie released on DVD with DTS, just for us HT enthusiasts who prefer the higher fidelity of superior DTS sound. :)
Actually, I already have 3 dream DVD's. Star Wars Eps 1&2 and The Matrix. The only thing better would be Reloaded, Revolutions, and EP3 when they are released.:)
In my theater it is. In comparison to TTT DVD, I had some friends over to watch it this past weekend (on loan from a friend at a video store who got their stock early) who thought the transfer was great, but still not the reference quality of Clones. To me though they are both great, and...
Dan, I would say it's the player that has the problem, not the disc. I don't know how many Pioneer's we had returned b/c of similar problems, but honestly it happens with every player. Anyway, if you want confirmation try taking the disc down to the place you bought it from, and playing it on...
Todd, Chris, Yeah the crackling has been there since the original DVD release, and on the SE. It's even more noticable with DTS, but don't worry, it's always been there.:)
Yeah I watched this yesterday, and while I agree it is the best presentation of this film to date, it is nowhere near Clones imo. Anyway the transfer is by itself worth the upgrade, and even though the audio is a little dated, the addition of a DTS track is the icing on the cake. I have been...
I honestly have no desire to see this movie, but I did order it for my girls since they have their own little theater setup in their room. Liked the review BTW.:)
1) The Matrix Reloaded 2) The Matrix Reloaded 3) The Matrix Reloaded 4) The Matrix Reloaded 5) The Matrix Reloaded Right now no other movie or DVD release really matters much to me until I get this on DVD.:)
I use Billy Bags audio duster every morning before I turn my equipment on. The duster doesn't just "spread" the dust around, it attracts it like a magnet.
Well crap! That's what I get for not doing a good enough search. Mods feel free to delete this thread, and I'll just bring the other back up again. :) Thanks for the link David.:)
