[QUOTE="adam71, post: 2545927, member: 549079"] Wait just one second there bro. I am not affected by placebo. I have tried different brands on many different occasions. I've owned cheap stuff and mid-level priced stuff. I don't own really HIGHEND stuff because in my opinion its NOT worth it TO ME. I've fallen for the high priced cable trick before and never will again. I still have a $200 1 meter pair of monster cable rca interconnects that I bought 10 years ago. They're nice cables but I shouldn't have paid that much for them. Whether they sound BETTER than the cheaper cables or not is irrelevant. The fact is they sound DIFFERENT than the cheap cables and that DIFFERENT sound is what I like. Unfortunately now I have a Denon receiver and Denon universal disc player that connect via DENON LINK and I don't really need analog interconnects anymore. My point is this. When I bought these Denon units I wasn't thinking "hey these will make my DVD movies and music sound better than anything I've ever heard". What I was thinking is that now I have a well built and long lasting set of components that are semi future proof and would sound GREAT. I have HDMI outputs on the DVD player and I have multi channel analog inputs for future surround formats. I'm not a spring chicken and I know what I'm hearing when I turn on my receiver at the end of a hard work day. So please don't call me an idiot that is falling for the placebo effect. I know you didn't use the word idiot but you might as well have. In closing, you and anyone else can tell me til you're blue in the face that $1300 was too much to pay for a universal player and $1000 was too much for my receiver. In the end it was what I thought was the best value for my money and would last the longest in doing so. I've had these units almost 2 years now and couldn't be happier with them. In the end isn't that what matters most?? Sorry for writing a book but I had to express my means of thinking. [/QUOTE]
