Some thoughts on the PS3 Audio

[mrgates3]

Last night we purchased the Sony PS3 First thing I should add is this thing
is a Brick ! It weighs more than my Akai GXC 709D cassette deck .This is no piece of Black Plastic Crap . Everything operates smoothly and quietly :yes:
Now for the Audio test with a CD and my Marantz 2252 . All I can say is
Excellent :thmbsp: Crisp and clear even with burned CD's and the sound is much improved on my movies when hooked to my Pioneer Surround system .
But all in all Im impressed with the build quality and sound . But this is what I would expect of anything that cost $ 599.99 but as we all know a high price tag does not always mean high build standards .

Thanks for the news. I've been holding off buying one waiting for the price to fall. The best part is they play Blue-Ray discs.

Unfortunately Blu-Ray may die quicker than SACD or DVD-A.
Numbers of titles on the shelf isn't proof of 'life'.Sales are.
None of the new improved formats are selling in sufficient volume.They will be around in the future, the way that Beta and Elcasset are still around.:thumbsdn:

Well after having a few days to truly listen to various CD's with the PS3
I still have no complaints , it sounds wonderful . Im still not giving up my vinyl
for CD's and its my sons machine. But if anyone here @ AK want to purchase one , I would also get the add on cooling unit . This thing puts out alot of Heat and im not sure if the onboard fan is enough .
