Pioneer BDP320 vs Panasonic BD85 vs LG BD390

[da_grudge]

Will use it with a 50 inch kuro 508xd model...

Want the best picture, but also, and very important, great audio as I will use it also as cd player.

Thanks

That would be the Pioneer 320.

Hi da_grudge

I have a Kuro PDP-508XD and the Panasonic BD85 works a treat with it. It is also a good cd player.

Btw, i have not used the LG.

Thanks

Surely a bd player by marantz or cambridge audio (if cost is an issue) would be better if you are planning to use it as a cd player.

well, shure, but price is a problem, thats why I refered those three...I guess the pioneer probably has the best audio of the three...

Hi da_grudge

I have compared them both.

For picture i fed both machines via HDMI into a Kuro PDP-508XD and overall i preferred the picture of the BD85.

For audio i compared the cd playback of both players by using the analogue output and feeding them into Chord Electronics DSP8000/SPM3005 and ATC's SCM40. Neither player was better as such but had different presentations. In short the Pioneer was smooth whereas the Panasonic was more dynamic.

All the best
