P. Scan DVD Players and HDTV-ready TV's
Swampwalker, it IS true that the progressive scan input can only be accessed through the RGB input of these sets. I tried to access through the component inputs with a RGB-to-component adapter on the hopes that I would get better color fidelity an... 
P. Scan DVD Players and HDTV-ready TV's
Hello Dovetail, I also own a Loewe dtv (Arcada) and also question the benefits of a progressive scan DVD player with this TV. I can tell you one thing though, the internal line doubler and comb filter in the Loewe series are VERY hard to improve u... 
Advice Required
Hi Mikey, You might consider the MSB Link DAC with the 24/96khz upgrade also. From what I understand of the P3a, although a VERY good unit, The P1-A room correction unit (brother of the P3a), REALLY makes it shine. Bel Canto also has some excellen... 
S-Video connection; 2 outputs - 1input
I agree with the above posts, It's the ENTECH Director AV 4.1, I personally notice no degradation of my video signals when run through my Loewe tv and DVDO V2 line doubler combo. I also run my DVD player, Webtv,and laserdisc through it! Good luck! 
Best front projector under $10k?
Check out the Dreamvision 500. Its a DLP projector and can be had for around $4500-$6500 depending where you shop. Generally known as THE current best value in projectors under $10000 today. Pair it with the DVDO iScan V2 line doubler ($600-$750) ... 
Pro Logic vs. Dolby Digital, DTS etc
Personally, I think the difference between dolby Pro Logic and Dolby digital are about the same as the difference between old cassettes and new Cd's. Your VCR will turn out to be one of your least used pieces of A/V gear in your system! WELL worth... 
Line doublers/quadruplers
Hello Wetpet, I recommend the DVDO iSCAN plus V2, this unit is currently THE best value in line doublers on the market and is normally compared to units costing 5-10 times more! Check the DVDO site for compatiblity. HIGHLY recommended! Good Luck.

Blown Martin Logan SL-3 woofers

What do I need to choose ??? Help needed
Personally, I dont think you can go wrong with either of these receivers but I would have to give Denon the SLIGHT edge in overall sound quality. Yamaha may have the edge in relability as I've used various Yamaha components since the early 1980's ... 
Best Dipole surround for $800? Urgent!
I also agree with Dstewart on this one. I also own a pair of Phase Tech PC Surrounds and would put them up against all-comers in this price range. Good Luck in your search! 
Best disc on DVD for audio?
I highly recommend the new DVD demo disc "Ultimate DVD Platinum" available at DTS-online, It supports all the available formats such as 24/96, 5.1, DTS, Pro logic and straight 2-channel. Theres plenty on this disc both sonically and visually and h...
