Yeah, I was skeptical. I really thought everything sound great just the way it was but started to sense I was missing something at higher volumes. I did not think it was going to make that much of difference. I guess what I was hearing at higher volumes before was just my receiver distorting the signal. Everything sort of mushes together when you crank up the volume. Now that I have this amp it does not distort, so what I am hearing now is the signal with none of the noise and junk superimposed. Now my receiver can concentrate on the processing and let the amp doing all the amplifying
Here are some pics.

That's a beautiful, clean looking setup. The black amp looks great. Is that a power strip mounted to the wall? My wiring is a mess behind the stand...nice work!
Junior Member
Mine is a big mess too. That is a monster power surge that I have right now. It will be replaced with a Zerosurge behind the stand also :P

oppo
Is that an Oppo 970 in your rack? How do you like it?
Junior Member
Yes it is the 970. I like it a lot. Compared to my older samsung, the picture on the oppo is better. The 970 is here to hold me over till the format war is over but I am leaning towards hddvd for the XA2 player at the moment. The upconversion on the XA2 is outstanding so it may be worth if for that reason alone if you have loads of SD dvds.
Advanced Member
Great setup. Yeah, I wish I had the xa2. I have the xbox hddvd add-on, but without a vga connection, it's only good for watching hddvds so I can't yet get rid of my old SD-upconverting player. From what I've read, the xa2 give you the best of both worlds (HDDVD+ great upconverting SD DVD player).
