Hopefully, boss. Tqvm for the encouragement

Tested D Foster BD with DSX Wide. Amazingly wide soundstaging as if I am in the concert hall itself Will fine-tune the setup again

Okie boss. Next time when I got time. I come kacau you again.
Wifey grumbled as I spent my Saturday with you. LOL.

Sometime, I go to the shop early in the morning esp Sat and Sun as it will be quieter. Do calibration and testing before opening for biz. HM also making noise coz I normally forgotten about breakfast

Done the wrong pairing for DSX. The is some degree of mismatch. I will switch the MBS-01 to be Front Wide and the SCS-01(M) to be surround. All of a sudden, itching for an upgrade in avr. Maybe hold on for a little longer to see how 3D tech and HDMI 1.4 affects the new line up

11.2 would be ideal even though the room is not a big one. Front, center, Front Height, Front Wide, Surround, rear surround, 2 subwoofers.

Will try This Is It, Michael Buble and Police concert during this week.

Watch 左麟右李2009 concert the other night
Fun concert and wonderful sound stage, the concert is shot using HD camera (which can see the camera itself from different angle shooting)...great details...and many fond memories of the 80's and 90's song....

Boss, when you get 11.2. Can I tumpang to get 9.2 as well?

This is a bit grainy compared to Hacken Concert Hall.
I am Hacken's fan.

Dunno yet but if tight on budget, 4810 (or newer model since aint have moolah now) will be the safer bet as it has 11.3 pre-out. That is more than sufficient. Just plonk-in another 2 channel high power amp to take over front. FH, Ctr and FW via Emo XPA-5. Balance by 4810 itself.

I can always bring the 9.2 in for you nia

Posted abt the Dolby Pro Logic IIz and Audyssey DSX as a new topic. Seems like no one is using except saprozeldo.

Only elite eligible for DSX wide mar....

Boss, no lah . Small fry only nia.

Tried out George Michael Live in London with Audyssey DSX Wide. Now, it did have those concert feeling with expansive soundstage. Felt like an audience . Cranked it right up to -13dB.

Shall make some tweaking and room tuning to get the whole system better by this weekend since the MCS-01 is going elsewhere .

Anyone appreciate chinese old song should listen to TSAI CHIN Live in HK. The rich vocal of the singer is always become audiophiles demo disc & this Bluray by means is no exception.

The BD is encoded with Uncompressed PCM5.1 & DTS Master 6.1. Tested both track and felt the singer's vocal is more appealing in PCM codec. Looking at PCM, it is mixed at 16bit/48k compare to DTS-M 24bit/96k. The later has double bitrate of PCM but still not as outstanding as PCM. I guess it is more of the recording process at the concert hall.



Anyway, it is truly a masterpiece recording

Must be impressive if listen at ronaldjoe's pad.

Watching The Police: Certifiable at the moment. As mentioned countless times before in this thread, the PQ and AQ are flawless! I especially like the sound of the drums. You won't find anything better on BD. That being said, unfortunately I don't really enjoy their music so this is going into my sale thread soon....

Rush 30th Anniversary Concert

Source : blu-ray.com

"If you consider yourself a serious fan of Rush and their music, then you should definitely add Rush: R30 to your library. The show is terrific and the presentation wonderful.

The Blu-ray disc herein reviewed, courtesy of Anthem Entertainment/Zoe Records, is also attractively priced. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .

Watch Hacken Cencert Hall last night...the video is very soft and lots of DNR applied, the lubang on hacken's face almost all gone
I can't understand the part u said ZuoLunYaoLei 2009 grainy.....maybe u refer to the 2007 version...mine were very very sharp and clear as it's shoot using HD camera....

Too bad that Cranberries concert aint in BD format. And I also wish that Jacky Cheung's Music Odyssey concert in BD. That would be a great entertainment.

It's 2009 version. B'coz you got Kuro
I like Hacken Concert Hall with a botak guy playing the drums.
