Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Outlaw Model 997 cancelled

I have a few friends running Dlink with no problems.......so far. I usually stick with Linksys/Cisco.

I had to run a Dlink because the only internet service provider out here in the country (Bridgemaxx) required it. But it works well enough.

My whole home network is D-Link, and it's working well. It's unfair to compare different eras of products, but I used to run an all-Linksys home network, and I've had less trouble with D-Link.

I had a horrible time with a D-Link wireless router several years ago, but like CV says, it's not really fair to compare different eras of products.

A few years ago I wouldn't have mentioned Dlink either, they seem to have improved considerably.

Good to know. I think their prices are still pretty good.

I got a D-Link 24 port GB switch (no management/No POE) from Newegg for $164 last July/August. Been running 24/7 since, not one problem, re-boot, nothing but joy.

somewhat related to the discussion, I have a newcastle r-972 = used it about a month now.

I have some issues. I've dropped use of hdmi temporarily for some sources (I hope) because I'm waiting for handshaking issue to be resolved.

video processing is awesome. I seem to be the only guy on avs forums who cares about v. processing, but I like many shows that I simply can't get in HD, and the processor really takes them up to near HD. Before this unit, i would groan each and every time I switched from ESPN HD to anything from BBC low-def. Now, while aware that it's no longer real HD, I don't really give it a second thought.

Trinnov is fantastic. really. I'm not an expert but I really enjoy listening to everything.

It's nice to hear from someone who actually has one. Even if Outlaw dropped the 997 which would have been close to the R972, I'm glad they're keeping Trinnov for the 998. It's still going to be a tough choice for me when I'm in the market for a new processor, though, since Audyssey's Dynamic EQ gets, by and large, such good comments.

That's basically what I have for my main switch, but it was before the green models that use less power for shorter cable runs.
