I purchased an oppo 970HD universal player to play DVD's with my new 42" LCD HDTV. Wow! What a great DVD player. And after reading a review a couple of months ago in Stereophile about it's sonic capabilities I was hoping to condense my system and have it double as my cd player as well. WRONG!!
I do not profess to be an audiophile but it was immediately appearant my 14 year old Denon carousel changer sounds better. I even double checked everything including setting up the oppo via the graphic interface on the television.
Could this possibly be a synergestic relationship with the other components involved? I am running a vintage Pioneer SX-1050 receiver with new jbl l880 speakers?
I guess if there is a lesson to be learned...let your ears be the judge, I was ready to toss the Denon figuring the oppo had to better before even listening to it.
Peace,
Brian
