Silcon Chip acquired a range of ceap DVD players and
compared them to a regular 5 disk CD player. A variety
of measured and audible problems were encountered with
the DVD players. Copyright laws prevent me from going
much further. I suggest you obtain a copy of the
article.

I need not pay a cent to read audiophool trash.
Stereophile is free online!

**Silicon Chip is a proper electronics magazine. One
which is not prone to making any proclamations about
anything, unless it is bourne out by actual measured
data.

I thought that you said that they did listening tests.

**Read what I wrote.


Cheap DVD players do not measure well.

Depends how cheap.

**$39.00 was the figure bandied around by some. That'll do.


I suggest you read the article, BEFORE you make rash
statements.

I'm still waiting to get a straight answer about Silicon Chip.

**What, precisely, do you want to know? Silicon Chip is, first and
foremost, an electronics magazine. They cater for the usual electronics
hobbiest requirements. Articles range from simple to quite complex
projects and from basic electronic theory, to advanced techniques, along
with articles of interest to others in the business. ie: Automotive
electronics, antique radios and day-to-day service stories are all
included. They also test some consumer and professional electronic devices.


First you say
they do listening tests, then you say they don't do listening tests.

**Read what I wrote.


BTW: I find the measurements performed by Stereophile
pretty decent.

Certainly they are better than the listening tests. Unfortunately, they don't seem to conform to AES standards.

**They're still better than most.
