MY DVD COLLECTION

soprano · 2002-12-10, 12:10 PM

Love this site. First time posting so here is what I have in my system.

Toshiba 32 inch T.V.
Toshiba 5 disc DVD player
PSB Alphas front and rear
PSB Center
PSB Subzero - subwoofwer
Denon 1603 receiver
Rogers - Scientific Atlanta 2000 cable box

Recently upgraded to the Denon from an older Technics SA-AX710

Sorry don't have all the model numbers but I am doing this from work...shhh

Enjoyed the articles on Bass Management on an earlier thread, gave me more things to tinker with on the receiver ha ha

57 · 2002-12-10, 05:26 PM

M. Soprano, you should get that SA2000 upgraded... unless you bought it...

jimha · 2002-12-10, 07:33 PM

First post, my system as follows:

Toshiba 42H82 16X9
Panasonic RP-82
Denon 3801
Paradigm Reference Studio 20's Ver.2 (X4)
Paradigm Reference Centre
Paradigm Servo 15 Sub.
etc.

soprano · 2002-12-11, 10:34 AM

You are right 57, I should have upgraded the SA2000. I started to read items here on the benefits of the upgrade after I bought it.

I thought the SA8000 would be a nice upgrade in the (near) future and the SA2000 would go on another t.v. but thanks to this web site I see that in Ontario that may be a little longer than anticipated.

fairmang · 2002-12-14, 07:19 PM

TV: Toshiba 50HX81
AV Receiver: Denon AVR 3300
DVD player: JVC XV-S60
Speakers - Front: Quest Q610
Center: PSB Stratus C5 - with glossy finish
Rear: PSB - Ambient II - Bi-Polar
Sub: Paradigm PDR-10

TDog · 2002-12-15, 04:28 PM

Toshiba 57HDX82
Harmon Kardon AVR 7000
Anthem MCA 20 Amp (power for fronts)
Paradigm Reference Studio 40's
Paradigm Reference Studio CC
Paradigm Reference Studio 20's
Paradigm PW2200 Subwoofer
Toshiba SD1200 DVD
Toshiba VCR
Sony CDP-CX53 CD Changer
Starchoice Satellite

Future Upgrades I'm Considering:
DVD: Sony DVP NS999ES, Pioneer Elite DV-47AI, Marantz DV8300, Yamaha DVD S2300
Preamp/Processor: Anthem AVM 20, Rotel RSP 1066
Amp: Anthem MCA 50, Rotel RMB-1095
Speakers: Paradigm Reference Studio 100's

The DVD player will probably be the first upgrade. It will either be a DVD/sacd player or a universal player. After that probably the speakers. A new preamp and amp are last on the list and by that time there will probably be newer and better models to choose from.

JR · 2002-12-15, 09:19 PM

Monitor: Toshiba Cinema Series 65HDX82.
Amplifier: Bryston 9B THX Pro.

JVC (broken)

DVD:
Panasonic DVD player (RV-30 or something like that)
