| Dish satelite vs Cable quality? I have a Motorola 5100 HD cable box and the HD channels are superb. They are essentially as good as my DVD player. Comcast here in Atlanta offers NBC, CBS, ESPN, INHD, INHD2, and 2 HBO channels in HD. (I am still waiting for ABC.) I use the compon... | |

| Time warner HDHBO I have noticed the same thing. In my opinion, what we are seeing and hearing is the fact that the HD signal uses little or no video and audio compresson. Thus, the video and audio dynamic range are much, much greater than a standard NTSC broadcast... | |

| Preamps. Do we really need them? Timo is right. I will always have a preamp in my system. | |
| Anyone have any experience w/ Usher AC-10's?... My audition of the AC-10s... a bit forward for my taste. I felt I was on stage instead of in the audience. They play very big. They are one of the few speakers which come standard with 3 feet instead of 4, which I feel is always better. Their roun... | |
