In Reply to: Suppose a new issue of Stereophile came out and after two days... posted by TomLarson on April 20, 2007 at 18:21:22:
The Oppo review was an embarrassment. It is purchased for its VIDEO quality as opposed to audio - although the audio is fine at the price.
Why would a review not devote a paragraph or two to the strengths of the unit = its video performance. The reviewer only tacked on one sentence about the video performance as an afterthought after completely focusing on the audio.
And I believe it was also an older model. This "built-in" product review delay could contribute to the demise of printed mags vs. immediate on-line reviews of products, music and all entertainment stuff.
