No, I don't do impressions either.

Full hands-on blog post will follow when I've spent some more time using the player.

why did they not just call it the same as the US 83, instead they added the 1 any reason for that?
 
the_lhc:Go back and read the entire thread, you'll find the answer.

Just to distinguish between the UK/EU and US then...thought there would of been more to it...ah well..

I would expect your test of the Oppo to be extensive and take a few days as you have already said Andrew Do you have a goal/date in mind when you expect to file the report on the forum.

And of course the Mag. Thanks
 
Just to make it clear, I'm not planning on doing an extensive test, but merely a hands-on piece at this stage. No ETA for that yet, because if I miss it I'll have you lot hassling me to get on with it. It'll be posted in the blogs section when it's done, and not before.

And a few days for an extensive test? Don't think so - it's hardly the only thing I have on the agenda at the moment.

Magazine review will be in either the November issue or the Awards issue first tests section, I should think, and will be online around the time the relevant issue is published. I have a feeling the first tests section for November may already be full, so it may well be in the following issue.

Hold the back page!

As an Oppo 83 owner for a month or two now (whose name is not Will!), it is a delight to use, has great picture quality on BR and DVD, and sound (as long as you have realistic expectations - its not going to beat a good CD player) is also very good.

Its been a Hot Topic on the Forums . I have the feeling some one is trying to pour cold water on the subject.

A pity really nothing like hot gossip. The amount of hits on the thread proves my point.(Now Locked)

There is alot of interest in the Oppo Blu-ray and for good reason. Thats my view.
 
The Oppo player is not hype, it is the real deal and have had one since they were made availible, so quick and to be able to change settings on the fly is a blessing, load times are very quick also and both SQ and PQ is first class, got loads of DVD-audio and SACD, and it plays them beautifuly, DSD for SACD and PCM for DVD-A...I now only have 1 player whereas before I needed 2 one for region A and one for Region B, but not anymore...

Cheers Oppo and cheers to Henry =o)

Really? Must have missed that...

Oh joy, another conspiracy theory. How many times do you need to hear "It won't be reviewed until an official UK version is available."?

That's it. Now there is an official UK version, so it's getting a review. Simple eh, nothing more sinister than that.

Brave hero, battling to bring the truth to the unwashed masses in the face of such overwhelming hostility...

Well it's a good job you're here then, the rest of us would never have heard of it otherwise.

I'd like to report the above post, but can't. really nasty and called for esp on a sunday.
 
Try logging out, I think the "Report Abuse" link only works if you're NOT logged in. Which is a bit weird...

There was nothing nasty about it, sarcastic yes, but nasty no (would it have helped if I'd put smilies at the end of each sentence to show what a jolly chap I am?).

I just can't believe, after the previous thread was locked for going round in circles, that the same stupid arguments are being dragged up again.

You're right though, it was called for. Don't see what difference it being a Sunday makes though.
 
No conspiracy, no pouring of cold water - just want to make sure I do a thorough job before presenting any opinions, and believe it or not I do have other things to do, just as the magazine has other products to review.

We're not going to put everything else on hold just to review one Blu-ray player, however good or otherwise it may be.

Hi you disagree then? No offence intended. Please understand this is a forum. A Discussion. If it should go in Circles so what !! Reminders/reviews can at times bring things to mind to help the topic for discussion its what is called repeat-Repeatition

for Emphasis or Review. All adds to an Interesting thread and can add to the Topic being discussed wether right or wrong.

Any- way I thought crops had circles I hope its not another will file. Sorry will.

All the best no bad will intended.

Ps Thankyou Andrew.
 
I sense my name being used a little here and there. As many a famous mouth have uttered; "I like to use it myself from time to time and need it in good condition"

Andrew, be excited to hear your own thoughts on how you're enjoying getting to know the 831 when you get a chance to post. Well aware that it is not the only thing you have to do, or WHF have to review! There is more to life than the Oppo. Yup, even I would admit as much

Hope everyone's having a great weekend. I can't believe we won the Ashes. First the Oppo is released in Britain and then we go and win the Ashes. My weekend would have been complete, but I didn't win the lottery. Humph!

skr1:Hi you disagree then?

With what? There's nothing to agree or disagree with, you're not saying anything that hasn't been said dozens of times already, that was my point.

No offence intended. Please understand this is a forum. A Discussion.

Yes thank you, I'm afraid I don't like eggs.

If it should go in Circles so what !! Reminders/reviews can at times bring things to mind to help the topic for discussion its what is called repeat-Repeatition for Emphasis or Review. All adds to an Interesting thread

Not in this case, the interesting part is what the outcome of WHF's review will be, but we haven't got that yet, so until then there really isn't anything to discuss. That's why there's not really any point in rehashing the old topic. Nobody, at this stage, has anything to add that hasn't already been talked about.

Don't get me wrong, if this machine is as good as everyone says, I'll probably buy one but it won't be because of these threads.
