Any good hdmi splitter recommend to solve only 1 hdmi output issue? As I am using 300 with TV and projector.

Please recommend a low to mid cost hdmi splitter which wont affect the picture quality.

Thanks

US$4500 cash. I also asked the price for D2V 3D, the sales said new price just came out from Anthem, D2V raised to $9000.

But he is nice to give me a good price for AVM50V 3D. Also he is the vendor of AudioQuest, so I will buy some nice XLR cable (Columbia) 1.5 M (MSRP US$570) and Power cable (NRG-10 or NRG-100) later. I need to bring it home when my wife is not home, I don't know when I can give a report.

Price of d2v 3d is double of that of avm50 3d! usd4,500 for avm50 3d is very good price. There is no pressure to give report, it is just a hobby after all, take your time, enjoy it. BTW, what previous/other gears you used/are you using?

Pre-amp: Yahama A1010
Amp: Anthem MCA50
Speaker: Paradigm Studio 100 v5
CD Player: old/free Sony DVD player (digital out to Yahama)
BD Player: Samsung E6400 (3D)
TV: Samsung UN55D8000 (3D)
HDMI cable: AudioQuest Pearl and Forrest
Old gear already sold: Onkyo receiver, Jamo 5 spaeker package and Jamo sub-woofer.
Target in the future: should I buy an OPPO-95 or W4S DAC-2, they are using the same ESS chip. If I buy OPPO-95, I can play all CD/SACD/BD. If I buy DAC-2, I can build a HTPC to play CAS. What is your suggestion?

Anthem + Paradigm, sister companies under SF, guess they are of good match and sound good, do you use paradigm center/surrounds speakers as well?

I do not play cas, but since you already have a cdp/dvd and bdp, buying the oppo 95 might pbe overlapping, and buying the w4s dac might be a better choice, but either way should be ok to me, depends on which sound best and suit your taste better, or on the other hand buying the oppo to simplify your gears retiring the dvd, just my 2 cents. Hope not creating confusion to you instead and maybe other big brothers /chings chime in.

Ching, please pm seller info link? I'm interested to buy too. How much shipping?

Is it 220v? If not, would u change it to 220v in HK? Or just use a transformer?

Many thanks.

I once emailed an Anthem TS guy who replied me that the voltage cannot be altered internally.

Use of a step up transformer is necessary, I think, and doing so may affect the sound quality.

Yes, Anthem + Paradigm should be very good. I only have a pair of Studio 100 for Stereo now, it is not easy to play audio gear in my situation. 1. I can't use my salary to buy, I can only use my part-time money. 2. My wife really doesn't like me to play, I have a good audio room in the basement but I only put old gear there becasue she doesn't want me always "hide" there. 3. I have 3 kids, 3, 5 and 7. How can you enjoy your gear if they all make noise/cry beside you?
Anyway thank you for your advise for Oppo and DAC. I found a good way to play WAV or FLAC files by using a Media player though HDMI RAW output, so my plan for this year will be upgrading XLR, power and speaker cables only.

BTW, the sales called me yesterday, AVM50V arrived in the store. I will pick it up today. Guess how I explain to my wife about it? I will say I swap with my friend, he give me AVM50V since his power amp broke, I give him the Yamaha receiver.

WAF is surely important, we always have to stike a balance between hobby and family.

I think she might not spot your change of gear, if you could arrange "smuggling" it in while she is out, given you have 3 kids to take care of.

Maybe it is a good idea to share with your family with some cartoon movies during summer hoilday/weekend, so as to arouse their interest in home theatre, to provide an opportunity to merge your hobby with them, and might be an escape route for your busy wife, I guess.

For system upgrade, you can take it in a slower pace/gradually.

BTW, did you hear the paradigm diople surround speakers before? Any comments?

Gook luck and enjoy.

huangkang · 發表於 2012-8-1 20:26:37

   I waked up at 5:30 this moring and changed it, AVM50V 3D is slimmer than the Yamaha A1010, but not lighter. I took some pictures with opening the box, do you want I post it here or somewhere else?
   I did not hear the Paradigm diople speaker, but willing to buy. http://www.paradigm.com/products ... ries/studio-adp-590
   You are right, most of time I turn on the TV is kids watching cartoon movie, kids are also intersting to change CD for me.

有一定數量cd在手,碟齡有d超過20年以上,很少聽(聽來聽去都係個幾隻),有d發霉/起白點,不想投資cas/dac,爬文Anthem 可經usb play WAV, mp3兩種file,後者可以不理,昨晚去完是嗎兄度聽goldmund int amp,logitech squeezebox touch, berkeleu dac...後,心思思返屋企用win xp pc itunes rip碟落隻usb手指插落部Anthem 播,同我部sony cdp x5000播靠記憶比較.我隻木耳絕對收貨,Anthem, I love you. 又可以慳番一大筆鳥.

歡迎各Anthem同好分享此方面心德. 另想請教如駁個usb hdd(大容量,如2TB),經hdd docking唔知得唔得? 3q.
