Have your say & ask the experts

I can't see DVDs disappearing from the shelves any time soon. The installed base of players is just too enormous.

And even the most vociferous proponents of Blu-ray Disc seem to agree - see here.

When you say DVD5 will beat most BR players, do you mean that there are some that could get close to the Naim. If so, please could you let me know which ones you would recommend as this will narrow my search down massively for demo purposes.

I imagine soundwise the DVD5 will beat most BR players, but the picture will not.

And again, I didn't say the picture of the DVD5 would beat that of Blu-ray players. You're continuing to misinterpret my comments.

On a wider point, I would expect a dealer to 'big up', by which I assume you mean promote, the products he or she sells - if not, why on earth would they be selling them?

but when they are asked for advice, and give bad advice (read 'wrong'), then it's out of order IMO

For which read advice you consider to be wrong.

Of course, it could just be that the retailer in question genuinely believes what they are telling the customer, in which case it's anything but 'out of order'.

But can I ask you which you(as a highly regarded WHFS&V reviewer) think is the best picture...A mid priced BR player, or a Naim DVD5?

As I said near the beginning of this thread, I "have yet to see anything from Blu-ray Disc to tempt me into
a major system upheaval."

At which point I think I will withdraw from what is clearly a pointless agrument. 

And no, Solomon1, I don't think this is in any way

Solomon1:

A Naim dvd versus blu-ray flame thread!.

Instead it's just a spot of WHFSV staff-baiting. We're used to it.

Blessed with a wife who thinks two speakers is one too many, I am sticking with good old stereo for the foreseable future and therfore the added bonus of hi-def sound wont work in my system. As sound quality is important to me, looks like Salisbury will get another sale.

These ise intresting me because I think after have the Cyrus DVD it is so-so compared to maybe besst of the Japanese player but I most listen to musik so therefore British audio sound much more nice for musikal abilities.

I have no heard much on the Naim though and if as good as Blue Ray like Andrew Everard Editor say then maybe I ask my dealer in Milan if sale ex demo model maybe for bargen prices.

 I think some Blue Rays have so much information of the diskes that the motion is like a little jerky jerky when motion is motioning fast across screens.

Standard "def" is mostly okay.

I am excited to see these DVD5.
