John,
You'll see I've edited your post to display the images. If you click the edit button on it yourself, you'll be able to see what I've done to make them work, so you'll know next time. Also, there's a rather good tutorial on how to do it here (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14874)

EDIT: .............and Mark's kindly explained too!!

Nice looking setup John :) I have a few questions...

How does the Oppo compare to the Pioneer picture & sound wise?

What are the three Croft boxes stacked on top of each other? They look suspiciously like power amps, but I thought you had a gainclone 6 channel setup :scratch:

1 I still think the pioneer has the edge sound and pic..but the oppo 95 is so versatile;)
2 the very bottom one is the 6 channel gain clone amp
3 the next 3 are power amps 1 for the pre the other 2 are monoblocs:eyebrows:

Ah, gotcha... So one is the power supply for the pre amp & the two others are a pair of monoblocks, I wondered why there was 3 :D

Great looking system, Jon. Bet it sounds very fine as well.

Mark: Do you have a tip on how to embed YouTube videos in a post as well?

Mark: Do you have a tip on how to embed YouTube videos in a post as well?
Another Mark can help you there ;)

Take this video for instance:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNQkZvQIG4c

All you need to do to embed it is select the stuff at the end, this:- HNQkZvQIG4c

Click the Youtube link (next to abc) top right when you are writing a post & paste it in & you get the following:-

Sorry for the thread drift John :)

John, just had a thought (yes amazing as it seems :eyebrows:), which HDMI output are you using on the Oppo?

Having read the blurb (read - manual) it appears that the best video will be output from HDMI 1 as that HDMI socket has a more powerful video processor attached to it ;) No idea why they aren't both the same, but there you go :scratch:

Well I certainly will, I still get two upscaled outputs as I feed HDMI 1 to my Octava switcher which can drive two displays at once. Not that I bother, I just turn on the TV or projector, whichever I'm going to watch.

I was just curious & while I certainly know you aren't daft (unlike me :facepull:) it could have been worth asking :eyebrows:
