| Power conditioners .... improve VIDEO? It's pretty shocking until you see it; improvements in image depth, noise, colors and black levels. The level of improvement depends on how bad the signal is in the first place, but improvements are obvious even with high def media. If you can swi... | |
| Audioquest cables? Try the Audioquest Rockefeller speaker cables, from what I've heard they'll do what you want. | |
