Hi
I am currently using a Pioneer BDP-LX52 which i am very happy with, but I am interested in trying the LX55
I was just wondering if anyone could say how much (if any) improvement there is over the LX52 in PQ and SQ ?
Anyone have any thoughts ?
I can give you a perspective from a 51FD if that's any use.
When i first changed over i didn't notice any difference..... so after being a bit miffed and thinking shoud have got an Oppo i persevered and over the course of a couple of weeks i started to notice some subtle differences.
Operationally it's faster even with a remote that's not very responsive.
Picture wise the colour pallet is more vibrant and detail sharper. These observations were not evident straight away but i started to notice this on veiwing bluray discs i was very familiar with.
Sound wise very difficult to put into words could tell it was different but wasn't sure if it was better or worse as sometimes it sounded better and sometimes worse. I know this will sound funny but in the end i put it down to burn in and just adjusting to the subtle change. On the SACD front however sound is fantastic. I do need to point out that my amp does not do PQLS multi channel.
IMO i can say that the LX55 did deliver an Improvement in PQ + SQ over the 51FD and i no longer wish i had got an Oppo which is good for me.
The LX55 is cheap enough at the moment to do the upgrade but don't expect a massive improvement but rather subtle ones.... subtle ones that do make a difference if you notice them otherwise you be wishing you hadn't bothered.
