Bluray Reviews – Now in HD Audio!
Jan 03, 2009 in blog, site updates
The “official” home reviewing platform of FadedBlue.net reviews has now been upgraded to lossless audio! Basically got a new receiver. Thus, bluray reviews will now be done with uncompressed DTS-HD/DD-TrueHD/PCM. My full home theater now consists of the following:
Playstation 3 (for bluray and region 1/free DVDs) – HDMI
Platstation 2 (for region 3 or other DVDs) – Component/Optical
Yamaha RX-V663
Infinity Primus 6.1 – 1x center, 2×6.5″ fronts, 3×5.25″ surrounds, 12″ sub
Panasonic 42″ 720p plasma
If anyone is interested in my thoughts of the picture/audio quality of specific blurays, please feel free to ask. Otherwise, I will just mention when it makes a noticeable difference. I mention the format reviewed at the start of each write-up. So far, I am impressed with the “high-fidelity” sound of the lossless audio formats. But it may just be the increased loudness and me trying to justify the new purchase =)
I’ve also made a number of purchases & pre-orders on DVD and bluray, so you may expect most of the following reviews over the next couple months:
Slumdog Millionaire (film)
Equinox Flower (DVD)
Sukiyaki Western Django (bluray)
Chungking Express (bluray)
The Machine Girl (DVD)
Meatball Machine (DVD)
Tokyo Gore Police (DVD)
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (bluray)
Death Trance (bluray)
