Moving on I must say youve hit the nail on the head for me and stated the single most important thing that I think has been missing from the discourse and that is the personal experience and the fact that everyone will have a difference of opinion based on their own experience not to mention system. Posted on Janu10:47 PM I must say Ive been staying away from this particular thread, mostly because I did not do the review nor have I ever listened or viewed any source material from either of the two players in question. You are the consumer and you have the POWER! Alot of people totally miss this point! To quote Dina from AVRANT Go out and listen to something, because in the end its all about your own personal experience and your own money. If you dont see the value Dont buy the unit.

Thanks for finally posting, it was nice to hear from the guy who wrote the review: Posted on Janu7:14 PM Reviews are subjective.

If youre going to make adjustments to your display to calibrate it for a given unit, you should absolutely be re-calibrating the display when viewing another unit, even of the same model.

Any professional calibrator worth his salt will explain that this is his basic process. Each display must be individually calibrated to a reference, and then adjustments must be separately made for each source connected to it. The reason is the same as the reason that using the calibrated settings from one display on another display of the same make and model doesnt work and this is backed by loads of repeatable measurements. Given the relatively loose tolerances in consumer electronics manufacturing, using the display settings you arrived at for the Lexicon on the Oppo as well is a rather major error. But I would like to make one major comment regarding your observations of both players. Frankly that question needs to be answered before we ever attempt to address the supposed performance differences that youre listing in your review. Furthermore, we dont even know what kind of changes were made just hardware, just firmware, both? The overriding question which no one seems to want to directly answer is HOW THE LEXICON DIFFERS FUNCTIONALLY FROM AN OPPO PRODUCED AFTER THE THX CERTIFICATION PROCESS. It would appear that theyre talking about the THX certification process, which Oppo actively participated in and made changes to ALL of their players for, not just the ones theyre shipping to Lexicon to be put in Lexicon boxes.

Posted on Janu6:44 PM You quoted Lexicon, and I see they very carefully worded their statement: We requested and obtained numerous changes from what was then the standard Oppo unit. Is this edge worth the added cost? Only you can decide what to spend your money on, and for most I am sure the Oppo is all they will ever want/need there, I said it again! but for those who want the absolute nth level of refinement, their is the Lexicon. Let me be clear, I DID THE REVIEW! I have re-done my viewing tests and STILL STAND BY what I saw! To me, the Lexicon DID have a slight edge over the Oppo BD-83 SE in video performance. The case of the Lexicon is beautiful and the buttons far superior to the Oppos, albeit at a significantly elevated price. I hope this helps answer some of the questions, certainly the two units are marketed towards totally different markets, there are many with sick level home theaters who simply hate seeing a cheap plastic player in their rig, and I can see why.
