What s your latest buy? Happy with it?
This months' upgrades: Sold my Toshiba TW40H80 and bought the Toshiba TW40X81 HDTV (same basic TV, new model) through AG, and couldn't be much happier. The trade over cost me $400, and now I have progressive scan and high definition. The improveme... 
Help me Please???
Biz, why so hostile? Although calling a manufacturer about a problem is the obvious thing to do, even the best customer service departments can be a pain in the neck to deal with at times. It might take 10 minutes on hold, or a "we'll call you rig...

DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP
Phild, I am 99.99% sure it will fit your DV-05. I had the DV-05 before upgrading to the DV-37 to gain progressive scan. Monsterbill, can you clarify a bit? There are a some very skilled DIY guys at AG (Redkiwi comes to mind), who have a lot more e... 
DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP
Monsterbill, It would be different, not necessarily as good in the sense that the whole point of the adapter is to avoid modifications,and allow users to easily change power cords as their system and taste evolve. 
DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP
Monsterbill, as far as I know, this is it. Sooner or later i'm sure there will be others, but if you are bothering to change power cords in the first place you might as well use a good quality adapter. 
DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP
To be a little more specific about the change in video quality, I recently set up the DVD input section of my Toshiba 40X81 HDPTV with significantly lower contrast and brightness settings. Now I get really deep blacks, yet I can see as much detail... 
Which receiver would you buy?
Denon is a very good choice at this price point. Good sound, reliability, and features. I have gotten excellent service from my Denon AVR-5700. I can name at least three more preferable companies, but they cost two to three times as much! Good luck.
