SACD/DVD Audio Combi Players?
I can not reveal my sources or which manufactures but there will be combi players at the end of the year. A couple of companies will be showing them at CEDIA. But expect them to be expensive. I think it will be cheaper to buy two separate player f... 
DH Labs as the next step?
At that price point DH labs are very good. I switched to Lat internation cable because of the build quality. Lat are a little smoother sounding with tighter bass but not as detailed. I would rate them as about even performers with each having diff... 
Amplifier caps
The only dumb question is an unasked one. 
Class Action Suit against UPS?
It is not the company but the method of transport. If you ship UPS air you will have fewer damages just like fed-ex. If you ship Fed-ex ground you will have more damages, just like UPS ground. Most people who make this statements do not realize th... 
best 5 channel amp for home theater
You are right. There are 2 ways of looking at this. The Bryston is not completely class A as far as power output. Sorry, I assumed he was refering to catergory rating and not power as there are so few class A amps in that respect. 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
You answered a question about the Chang lightspeed. Just joking about the cable. Let me know if you in fact see a difference and I will try one. Underwally is giving some great deals on that cable and I do not think I could lose if I bought one. 
legacy classics or paradigm 100 v2
Paradigm 100v2 are excellent speakers in their price range. The PSB Gold i is their equal if not slightly better. The 100v2 is the best speaker I have ever heard from Paradigm. I have not heard the Legacy classic but have seen some bad reviews of ...

Basically the line doubler in your tv is line doubling in tha analog domain. A progressive dvd player does it in the digital domain and is better at the job. 3/2 pulldown reduces the artifacts in film based stuff. A good line doubler will help nts... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
Well we know that after spending that "big" cash, you are going to be forced to say that it is vasssssstly superior! Happy New Year! 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
I would also second the Tributaries cable, I own some of those as well. Great value as well. 
Is it safe to run cheap wires?
Sure, it is safe. You won't have any problems and you will have a chance to re-evalute how good the cables you sold were. I did the same thing, and could not wait to get rid of the cheap cable I was using though the Lat stuff I use now could hardl... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
There is a difference between very cheap cables and some of the better one. But really once you get past 30.00 the cables really are not that different. I have tried a few. I did seem difference between the cheap radio shack stuff and the Lat Inte... 
Anything better than Proceed?
That's great news that the Perpetual tech upsampler works well with the Cal SSP-2500, I will try one. I was considering the 2500 series dvd player since it also upsamples but really wanted to hold out for one that did dvd-a as well. Do you won the... 
Cheater plugs with amplifiers?
Yes, Dekay. Different grounding paths and systems. One if for the electrical current feeding the the device and the other is for the line-level signal connecting the components. I have used cheater plugs for years with no problems. The second grou...
