I have both vinyl and SACD and never tried a shoot-out between the 2. None of the Police SACDs(I have 4) have impressed me for being superior over the CDs. And my A&M vinyl is not sonic masterpiece...

I have the Marantz UD 5005 and I use both HDMI and coaxial depending upon the receiver settings. Mostly, I go with coaxial because I have a receiver & HDTV that require a constant HDMI handshake for...

I have it. Consider yourself lucky to find it because it's become rare and expensive. Personally, I typically listen to this disc in high res mono as it was originally released but the stereo mix...

Not in all sources, particularly HDMI. With HDMI, the 805 will still pass the HD video to the monitor, play in 5.1 and black out the front panel display.

There are a couple of tricks that you can use to get the 805 display its internal temperature(in Centigrade) on the front panel. Most times, I run the 805 in "pure audio" which disables the internal...

I have had an 805 for 5 years without the dreaded HDMI issue. However, it does run hot. I recommend giving it a few inches of rack space above it for ventilation. I got a cheap AC/DC powered...

The box set looks great but I wish the movies were available individually. All I want is Alien and Aliens.

It would be hard to top the generic first edition West German CD mastered by Barry Diament.

One of the best albums ever. No, it will never an audiophile stand out and it shouldn't be.

I bet that West German target CD came from a EQ'ed dup master. I have a 1st gen Made in USA CD and the following remaster by Bill Inglot. The difference between the two were minor with the remaster...

Sony removed this feature(install other OS) just this year just a few months ago.

This is not a DVD-Audio disc. It is a DTS encoded CD-lossy audio compression for 5.1 audio, playable only through a DTS audio decoder found universally in AVRs. The aforementioned Hotel California...

Opening scene to "Star Trek" on Blu ray.

CD players dropped this feature years ago but it was a LED grid display that resembled a month calender which indicated the number of tracks on a CD. It always bothered me that the 5010 didn't have...

The 5010 still works to this day. The last time I had it, I remember it didn't play homemade CD's. It's a 2nd generation machine and it didn't have a front panel calender track list display or a...

The PD5010 was the 1st CD player I had and I don't remember it sounded so great. I replaced mine with a Pioneer CLD-1080 laserdisc/CD player. To this day, the 1080 beats the 2 DVD/CD players I have...

It's the only way I can hear the Eagles' Hotel California, Toy Matinee and Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms.

1st SACD-Headhunters by Herbie Hancock(2-channel version). I remember how it simply blew away the recent re-master CD with bass you can feel.

Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Black label Harvest, Japanese pressing. Still have it, it remains the best sounding version to this day and it's highly sought by collectors.

I have the 805 with RTi8s. Give it plenty of shelf space above it. The receiver runs hot most of the time.

The 805 has an impedence switch to 4 Ohms. It sound drive the speakers.

I have the 805 for 2 weeks and I'm still breaking it in. So far, I like it but still working out the kinks in the Audessey program in use with the RTi8s.

The 805 won't pass 1080i natively in HDMI. It pass it as 720p. There is a very long thread about the 805 on the AVSForum.

Did you run the Audessey calibration program? I have the same receiver and speakers(not the subwoofer or surrounds but a PSW10)and everything sounds. Sounds like you might need to adjust the...

I'd go with something from Onkyo. TX-705 is a good deal for the dollars. I just purchased the TX805 from Amazon.
