Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p?
I was at my local BB looking at the Samsung (64") and Panny (65") plasmas. Then I saw the Sony XBR 65" 4k tv. Dang! These things are sweet looking, but of course the content is specifically for them. Even my wife was amazed (and it takes a lot to ... 
AV Receiver/Separates for under $2K
Jpfatcat, I'd look for used separates in the classifieds here. I picked up my Arcam P1000 amp for $600 (135w x 7) and it drives my B&W LCR6 speakers just fine.Look for a nice used pre/pro and you are good to go.I had done two receivers prior t... 
Oppo 105 USB Asynchronous DAC
Wadia makes a dock too. Might want to give it a look. 
Anyone own the Darbee Darblet DVP 5000?
Interesting product. $319 on Amazon, though I didn't see the 30 day free trial.Hope to see more owners of this product chime in with their $0.02. 
Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp
Update time!Ignoring the group's collective judgement (naturally...), I went out and purchased some new pieces for my HT.I recently picked up a used Arcam P1000 (135w x 7) amp from an awesome Audiogoner! Right now I'm using the pre-outs on my Rote... 
Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel
The Marantz 8801 and an Oppo 105 via XLR has put an end to my search for the best of both! Its nothing short of outstanding as a 2/ch pre and was not at all what I was expecting from it. If your looking for a processor to handle multich codecs inc... 
What's Up with ATI?
Is ATI the evolution of SAE audio from the 70's? I still have an SAE 2 channel amp in my setup, though now relegated to powering the zone 2 speakers... 
Tough decision, samsung Samsung PN65F8500 or
I've seen both the 65" Panny ZT and the 64" Samsung PS64F500 at a local Best Buy.The Sansung is brighter, no doubt. They both have exceptional picture quality, clearly better than the LEDs nearby. If I had a dark room I'd buy the Panny, though it'... 
New tv?
I've seen both the 65" Panny ZT and the 64" Samsung PS64F500 at a local Best Buy.The Sansung is brighter (I checked to make sure the brightness levels were the same on each TV). They both have exceptional picture quality, clearly better than the L...

Excellent! Thanks Dave! 
What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard?
Has anyone heard any of these DIY subs from Rythmik?http://www.rythmikaudio.com/products.htmlThey look intriguing... 
Krell Foundation
I found this thread online that has a couple of owners discussing their thoughts. I found it interesting that the first owner had a Marantz 8801 and an Integra 80.3 prior to the Krell, so it answers the question you had in your post, Pinto.http://... 
Old Flagship Vs New Mid-Level Receiver
@Arcamguy: The Marantz 7005 only has Audessy XT, not XT32. Seems like all the reviews state that the XT32 is worth the difference, especially if you have more than one subwoofer. Not disputing your comments on the Marantz itself, but the OP's desi...

Sent Dave an email earlier. I'm in too! Summerlin area.There has to be more than 3 people in Vegas interested, right? 
New tv?
Bo1972 typed: "I asked people with there expierence in HDMI cables. I said I tested many and there is one which is by far the most convincing."Which HDMI cable do you like best w/the Plasma TVs? Seems appropriate to this thread.I just bought a big...
