Pioneer Elite player......$900
High Quality Cables..... $150

The pleasure of slamming a piece of RUBARB through the fucker when it keeps fucking up and Pioneer denies your warranty claim...... Priceless.

*note* This was a customer DVD player who had constant issues with it and had a party where it wouldn't work... so instead of a movie... he entertained his guests by beating the ever living crap out of it.

i would have to agree

11/15/2005 10:12:01 AM

Hello! Do you think common sense was going through this guys head when he put a piece of RUBARB through it? It's still funny and it's sitting on top of the guys cubicle near me.

11/15/2005 10:16:20 AM

rebar...

11/15/2005 10:22:35 AM

wtf is RUBARB?

isn't that some sort of vegetable? THat would have been new and unique.

Beating something to death with rebar isn't anything new or special.

Yeah, rhubarb is a plant with edible stalks. Strawberry-rhubarb pie and what not.

11/15/2005 10:47:13 AM

i think he meant rebar

11/15/2005 10:51:11 AM

I'm a dumbass lol. one guy said he put Rubarb through it so I thought I'd known it as Rebar wrong and didn't think much of it.

So anyway... there's a piece of steel sticking out of a trashed DVD played. Happy?

11/15/2005 10:58:34 AM

I had a piece rubarb go through me once... took about 36 hours.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. What is the difference between a $100 DVD player and a $900 DVD player?

About $800.

11/15/2005 11:10:05 AM

i read this thread and was VERY upset that you said rubarb, only because I WANTED to see someone kill a dvd player with a vegitable.

but yeah, as i said earlier, rebar.

11/15/2005 11:45:27 AM

*cries*

11/15/2005 11:47:49 AM

^^^ i disagree, but most people probably can't tell the difference.

11/15/2005 12:11:31 PM

Not true

Hook up a standard issue DVD player to a decent sized screen (read >60")

Hook up a computer, or very high end DVD player and switch between the two

It might not be worth your 800

But it most def, is an improvement

why is a computer better than a standard dvd player?

11/15/2005 7:41:35 PM

because a computer has CRC checks and needs to read [nearly] every bit of the data because the drive is used for things other than video.

11/15/2005 7:45:06 PM

so you could put together a cheap shuttle or something of that nature for much less than $900 and have a DVD player comparable to one of these elite things?

that is what im saying

you would be able to verify 1:1 pixel mapping, and do scale up with more control (read ffdshow).

also would be able to pass direct 2 channel pcm dts encoded tracks through a cheap optical out found on anything produced in the last 3 years with something simple like powerdvd

This thread makes absolutely no sense.




Also, I stopped reading after the first post.

11/15/2005 10:33:25 PM

This thread was hilarious. Rebar. hahaha

11/16/2005 12:26:13 AM

Now, spending $150 on cables is probally a waste of money. "Monster" cables def. are

11/16/2005 1:06:07 AM

if he shops at Audio Advice, he prob. got transparent or similar brand cabling.

11/16/2005 2:45:24 AM

People with money don't want to configure anything. Plus it has to make a statement.

I don't think there has ever been so many hifi companies than there are now.

I just gave my $400 DVD player to a friend. It was a Sony and this was in 98. How long ago was it when that unit was new?

Is this it? http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews/dv05.html DVD was expensive those days.

Anyone remember how expensive Laser disc was?
