    Panansonic 4000u projector - whats a fair price?

    Hi all I'm trying to help someone sell this projector (because I want to buy the screen he has available) but I have no idea what a fair price would be.  He tells me that its about half way through the lamp life so I am guessing 1000 hours (not sure if that's a good guess or not but I have...

    Anyone using the Oppo BDP 93 or 95 as a media server?

    Hi guys I have the 95 and want to start using it as a media server.  I am an Apple guy and unfortunately the media server app is Android only.  The later 103/105 Oppos app is both Mac and Android but not the 93/95 one.  I am looking for some advice as to what devices I can use to control the...

    Anyone using the Altech Node?

    Hi guys Is the material available in full HD (and actually delivered in full HD) or does it depend on your bandwidth like Netflix (which invariably you get as lower than DVD quality)? Alastair

    cd player shootout

    Hi Reeman I was very interested in the Sherbourn processor (PT 3070 if I remember correctly)  and the matching power amp because they were massively discounted (about $1200 for the 2 combined) but I never had the cash at the time (or since actually). Alastair

    SACD vs Digital Download

    Hi all Thanks for the suggestions.  Some nice ones here.  I see the Dire Straits SACD seems to be available as a stereo hybrid and as a multichannel SACD.  Any suggestions as to which is better?  I also run analogue out of the Oppo BDP 95 on the multichannel ans stereo outputs.  My B&W CDM 9NTs...

    SACD vs Digital Download

    Hi guys So what I am hearing is that it seems to come down to two mains things on these matters.  One is personal choice (some believe SACD>High Res Digital and some feel it is the other way round).  Secondly the quality of the actual recording (crap in = crap out).  Personal preference is...

    SACD vs Digital Download

    Hi Gavin Thanks.  I have already converted all my cd's to uncompressed FLAC files.  I wanted to experiment a little though with the higher res files than what cd can give you.  Hence my question as to what to check out next (SACD or high res digital or something else).  My Oppo BDP 95 can...

    SACD vs Digital Download

    Hi all Not sure if this is even a validly stated question.  Basically though, I am looking at expanding my audio horizons beyond just cd.  Would you guys recommend exploring the SACD route or rather high quality digital files (usually I believe available on certain download sites), or even...

    Projector screen - what are you using and why?

    Hi Kamikazi Not sure if you are facetious or not but I have high regard for the guys at HFX so am very interested in their opinions.  Thanks for the feedback.  What did you mean by "horses mouth" though?"Was that someone in particular?

    Projector screen - what are you using and why?

    Hi Kamikazi What makes you say that the Elite ones are higher quality?  What did you base that statement on?  I ask because the pricing between Grandview and Elite seems quite similar.  Sadly the DIY option is not a good one for me.  At the end of Standard 7, when subject choices for the next...

    Projector screen - what are you using and why?

    Hi all I have had a few votes for the Grandview screens but see that a number of the resellers carry and recommend the Elite screens.  Anyone have an opinion on which is the better to go for or any insight in the difference between the two?  I have checked the previous threads first and...

    Best R100 bucks I have spent on audio, EVER!

    Hi all Totally ignorant when it comes to head fi so excuse what may be a really daft question.  I've read on here that these are NOT good when plugged straight into a iPod or the like.  i assume that means that they need some sort of amplification. Based on that assumption, are the good to...
