How do you tell how dirty your power is?
Well, the technically inclined may have an answer. My answer ain't so inclined. Buy a conditioner;used. Buy one that can be sold for what you paid for it. Try it;if you like what you hear you are moving in the right direction. Further advice: don'... 
Have Processors Improved Much in the last 5 Years?
I would guess a lot of us are in this boat. I too have an older piece.(Marantz 9300) Mine does have the 7.1 analog input. I also have both of the new players;bd and hd-dvd.I can comment on using the analog out/ins;with the new audio formats. My '9... 
Leave an amp "on" permanetly
I guess how I was raised, taught me to turn things off when not in use. I do keep my cable box and/ or pre on, all the time.---I also think my CJ350 (ss), uses more juice than a 100 wt. bulb??--When I ran tubes (16 el34's) you know that was off wh...

It was 40 years ago today.....
While I certainly remember this record;where I was when I first heard it and such; the White Album I remember even more vividly. It was being played, non stop on just about all the good radio stations.---(jeez, how'd I get this old?) 
The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra
I also only spoke with her and can only "me-to" what everybody has said. Life is to short;hug your loved ones more often,(also from above).---(God bless,Jud; our prayers go out to you and yours.) 
Will high price HDMI cable makes a difference?
My Toshiba XA1(hd-dvd) came with a cable; I "had" to use for 2 weeks. The cable goes to a Ruby projector with a 92 screen. Both are 1080i compatible.(the ruby is 1080p) ---I also have the Samsung 1200 BD player---Now I suppose on a 32 /42 inch lcd...

What dacs are used in the Citation 7.0 processor
This is a 15 year old processor with no digital inputs. A Meridian 565 with the 7.1 upgrade sounds so much better for around this price. ---Yes, I had one, and had the 5.1 installed by MSB. Great stuff in its time. Sorry I can't remember what dacs... 
is it worth it?
I just thought I'd add my 2cents worth.---I would guess lots of folk only think about the video quality for blue ray and hd-dvd. Little do they know, the audio for these formats is just as big a jump.---Simple deduction; uncompressed audio is that... 
Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ?
I have a player for both formats--XA1 and the Sammy 1200-- One format isn't better in pq---than the other. But, a quality transfer in either format is stunning. ---OH, and don't lets forget the audio is that much better too. I use the 5.1 analog o... 
Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier?
I had one in 1987. At the 4/5/600 they sell for they are ok. At that money you get what you pay for. I had the ics and binding posts changed out. What they used is pretty bad. While it has tubes it is not a tube amp. It is a mosfet output design. ...
