Thank god,

I dont hv golden ears.. I just plug in a Y n output to my svs n another elcheapo canadian made sub(name best left unsaid..kekeke ) n I cant tell if its balanced or not..

To be fair I seldom use both at de same time as my watchin time is usually in de dead of nite n well u all know wat subs do..

Cheers
Dirtrun

vibrate? lol

Yup.. tat too n tat wan no nid 2 subs .. one will do ..

Fortunately I m not so fickle (more like just too plain lazy to go fix de prblm ) n I just ride it out..

hahaha hey if its not broken then why fix it right?? hehehe love that ideology! lol engineer?

Yeah... I agree. My current sub share the same freq response with my new sub. However, new sub has a bigger int amp. Will try out to fine tune it.

Shall let you guys know abt the outcome.

RX ...time to see loctor?

Hey sifus,

If I want to take a first step into BD world, which one should I buy first? BD player, HD support HDMI AVR, 7.1 speakers or HDTV ?? I intend to buy one at a time due to budget constraints. Which one are the recommended to change first ??
My current kits:
1) Panny 42' HD ready plasma
2) Sony HDMI player
3) LG box home theatre
4) KEF coda 9 floorstander for music
5) NAD 521BEE cd player
6) Cyrus III amp for music.

Please guide me in choosing full HD components in which to get first and last to invest. Most probably last to change is my HD ready tv right?
Thanks in advance.

haha,of course BD player 1st la,otherwise what're u going to do with ur BDs software,even u oledi got prefect AVR/Spks?

sure bd player then follow by amp, speaker will b the last

tv first and bd player first

For me ..

It was display (epson tw700 pj) wif oppo 981 n now ps3 then Marantz 7002 - spkrs use old one(Tannoy LCR).. sub SvS PB12+ .. eventually upgr d surrs wif SvS sbs-01 bkshlf X 2prs..

I cant afford to transform my HD ready tv to full HD since I just bought it
But then if I taking the first step into buying BD player, my HD ready 42' panny plasma can still look much closer to full HD tv if not 100% rite?? What about the audio, can my LG box in one sounds better if connect BD player to it via optical cable. Like u ppl suggest, amp will come in later.

mikapoh....dont worry too much abt the TV....especially since you have just bought it. i had the headache before as well......instead of replacing the HD ready TV......i decided i'd spend the money on something else.

actually i'd get the amp and speakers first before the bd player. the bd player will feel a lot cheaper after the receiver and speakers purchase...hehehe


by the way, optical input, you wont be getting the HD audio stuffs.

optical is 5.1. or u change to a hdmi amp for 7.1 setup

I have HD Ready TV too. PQ with BD source is already much better! (.... I wonder how much greater will be with Full HD... )
So, if you just bought your HD Ready TV, don't worry, can still enjoy super PQ BD source.

I had Pioneer HTIB which I connect my BD with Optical. I did not hear much differences between DVD or BD source.
But, upgrading HTIB to separate AVR+speakers suddenly the whole watching movie experience becomes WOW!!!

sighh ok common miss conception here thats been going on tooooo long.. fullhd has nothing to do with hd ready.. full hd is strictly talking about resolution where else hd ready is talking about handling/accepting hd signals...

ok for u. 720 / 1080p if ure not too sensitive wont make much diff. and since ur not exposed to 1080s, ur 720 will be heaven edi.. its when uve been expose to 1080 that the 720 becomes bleahhh.. but for ur case.. no prob.

if budget is ur constraint, then just buy a ps3 as ur bdp.. connect to tv hdmi, then connect to ur LG box in one with optical.

was just using the terms to differentiate the 2 resolutions..

HDready=720p/1080i
FullHD= 1080p

otherwise how?

1K and 2K?

Haha..

Blame it on de marketeers for all d jargon ..

I guess they tot 720p n 1080p is not glamourous enuff..

by the way, why is it 2K, 4K, 8K? why not 'M'? as in Megapixels??

Not surprising...optical cable can't carry HD signal. Not enough bandwidth. So even using BD you'll get the core sound only which is the same as DVD.
