  1. Are those pics without any picture settings changed in the oppo? I messed with the settings a bit on mine, but ended up going back to no settings as it seemed to have made it less natural to me. I guess I would rather change the settings on the TV than the oppo if I'm wanting to mess with the picture. I need to get one of those home calibration disks and see what I can do.

  2. I would agree with what scrappy said. If music is your main choice then getting a second pair of the exact same speaker is going to be optimal. I would love to have a 7.1 surround system with all of the same speaker. When I listen to all channel stereo in my setup, the different kinds of speakers just kinda sound 'off' so I usually turn it back to stereo. Multichannel music sounds great out of the RS-62IIs tho.

  3. I used the PS3 as my bluray for quite some time. It does a good job and if you plan on using it to game then by all means go for it, but if you really don't think you'll be using it to game much, then I would go elsewhere for a bluray player. Dedicated players are faster all around, and that was one of the biggest things I noticed as well as the picture being sharper when I upgraded to an oppo.

  4. I guess it not really, just a bummer you can't do anything with the second sub input. Where are you looking to buy your 818 from?

    From what I've read, it EQs 2 subs, but not separately like an AVR with SubEQ built in. It's basically an internal Y connector.
  5. To me the picture seems fake, it seems...I guess I would call it digital? Also the blacks are not very black, alot of "flashlight" happening. On the 120hz, I sometimes get picture blur when things are moving fast across the screen.

    This is my problem with LED as well, it just doesn't look natural to me and the blur drives me nuts. For plasma I've been looking at the panasonic GT50 series. ST50 is supposed to be best bang for the buck, but I like a couple of the extra features in the GT50. Before you buy, check prices on Amazon, I'm guessing you can get a better deal.
  6. These are what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1354509779&sr=8-11&keywords=sony+headphones. They are studio grade headphones, so their sound is pretty darn good. I got a pair of these in college, use them for DJing and used to use them for audio production and now mostly use them for every day listening. I'm on my 3rd pair in about 12 years. They would probably last longer but get some abuse in my DJ bag.
