Raistline said: Uncompressed sound 5.1 vs Compressed Dolby Digital makes a huge difference. You should even be able to tell a large difference between compressed 2 channel vs. uncompressed 2 channel. Before I got a HD audio capable receiver I could tel the difference between the two. |
This right here. I didn't believe there would be a very audible difference. Every time I bring a BD to show to my parents in their 60s, who have an HDMI reciever, they always ask me why the sound is so much fuller and better than DVD or broadcast HD. They actually notice the audio difference more than the visual difference in Blu-ray.
I am considering upgrading my reciever since I got mine about 6 years ago, but it's still working like new.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
