    Masimo consumer should stick to the medical industry. It's like a Mechanic saying today I feel like building a double or triple laminated AV Stand!!! Another company will buy them and business as usual

    Any experience with Polk Audio R200

    My rep from homemation also prefers the R200, not that 607s are bad he just prefers the R200. On the hand I have a customer with 607s that demo'd the R200s and he did not like them! Seems like our ears all perceive Audio differently.

    Any experience with Polk Audio R200

    Yeah still happy bud at the price R7000 its a bargain, I am not one for measurements because what my ears tell me is the most important if it's sounds good it's a pass for me. Not sure which area you are in... If close to Midrand stop by

    Silly subwoofer question

    Adding more subwoofers won't make your system play deeper bass if your subs are limited to 30hz then that's just their physical limitation. What multiple subs do is improve the evenness of bass in your room by minimizing peaks and nulls caused by room acoustics. This means the bass feels...

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    For my movie collection the Zidoo is better and faster. For me audio from the same movie files played better and felt more detailed on the Zidoo Z9X Pro as well as Zidoo UHD 5000, same for video as opposed to the shield. No placebo effect I could tell the Zidoo is doing something different with...

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    A crappy cable will throw off EDID check I am living proof and experienced it first hand, in addition check failed TV was not passing 4K in which case cable was at fault. LG will tell you weather its HDR or DV as well when you play content specific to those formats

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    If they work they work, but stick to descent tried and tested cables doesn't have to be a brand name, doesn't have to break the bank. Just an all round good cable. Ugreen and Peachz stuff on Takealot are pretty good. We have had issues with LG not passing all the Xbox HDMI tests(4k) with the...

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    No no no anything but cheap unknown cables, when you have a c9 and a Nvidia shield pro at least invest in a good R500 - R1000 HDMI cable. Picture not breaking up sure but at least try and get the best performance out of the TV you paid for. Its like buying a R200k pair of speakers but the...

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    Get descent HDMI cables I have had few that introduce issues. Takealot sell very good HDMI cables that won't cost half the price of your C1

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    Yeah will probably downmix it. The creator of the infamous OLED panels! And passthrough over e-arc was a hit and miss depending on tv year model. Let the receiver do what its meant to do.

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    Media player for Dolby Atmos using PLEX

    I have tested the best players out there... This includes Shield Pro, Zapatti(no more), Zidoo (like the zapatii but for stored content only, ie ripped 4k or UHD movies) as well as the Apple TV 4K. The shield is the go to player, I wouldn't say it's outdated because Nvidia still releases updates...

    Dont fall for this scam!

    Same here almost everyone who comes to me gets a discount. Life is to short to bicker about pricing and lose customers, or defend MSRP. Just checked the AVE website those are some awesome prices. Its quite difficult not to give a discount when various shops have quoted lower on paper!
