Hello there,
so this will be my first posting here at Home Theater Forum.
As you can see, I live in Germany- pretty far away from most of you.
I've been reading quite a few threads here, and HTF seems to be a place for high- level discussions. Let's see if I can contribute a bit to the great atmosphere here.
Ok, Topic- On:
I've just purchased the Sony DVP NS 900, and I can tell you that this unit has a perfect building quality considering the low price.
I really was annoyed of all these plastic- built units, like the Toshiba SD 510E (that's SD 5700) I had before.
I am one of those who see a close connection between building quality and sound quality.
Refering to picture quality- that's mainly a matter of a good drive, a good chipset and good Video- DACs.
But IMHO, sound quality has something to do with seperated audio circuits, a non-vibrating chassis and things like that.
I don't like this new generation of DVD- Players which have all the features you can think of packed in a cheap plastic chassis.
Certainly, a good building quality only doesn't say too much about the quality of the DVD Player itself- but for me, a high- quality DVD unit goes with a massive, solid chassis.
Regards,
Stephan
Edit: If I am making any serious faults in spelling, words etc.- please let me know! That's the only way to avoid them in the future.
