Favorite HT demo scene from a movie?
Hello Leoturetsky:All of the demonstration scenes that I have EVER seen on DVD that was ever used to demo and test the quality of a home theater system are located on the following DVDs (most of which I own myself). And they include:(01). Die Hard... 
DVD player for 200
Perfectimage:Ditto for the inexpensive Pioneer DV-343 plus the Stan Warren Mod. But you may also want to check out the Toshiba SD-1700 (which you can get from Best Buy for $149.00), or the new Progressive Scan Toshiba SD-3750 (for $179.00, also at... 
Budget progressive DVD players
Avguygeorge:I know you cannot afford the Camelot Roundtable. Who can?? God knows, I can't. As I have said many times on these forums, I have a Pioneer Elite DV-37 (which retails for $1,000.00, and I got mine for $700.00..... even though my dealers... 
Replace 35" TV with something bigger
Perfectimage:I happen to get my "Video Essentials" DVD on E-Bay for just under $25.00 (including shipping and handling), and bought it from a hometown guy (which makes it even sweeter). So far, I have used it twice, and let me tell you, my DVDs ha... 
Your Advice on a good HT receiver
Dismalonyx:If you have a speaker system like the Martin Logan Aeons as your fronts, then I would have to concur with one of the other posters that has posted here. Nothing less than one of the top Marantz models will do for this application. Thoug... 
Recs for HT upgrade?
Todd:I just checked the Camelot website. And the Roundtable does NOT have balanced outputs. I'm sorry.--Charles-- 
Recs for HT upgrade?
Hello Todd:Glad to see you re-join us. I am also sorry to see that there aren't any "high-end" audio/video dealers in your area. But on the other hand, I am glad to see that you tend to utilize your time wisely when you are out of town on business... 
Decent DVD Player
Jacasio:I concur with the above. Most of the players Pioneer make are decent players to begin with. But according to your equipment level that is listed above, I would be looking at one of their "Elite" players at the very least. Both of the playe... 
Replace 35" TV with something bigger
Sean, Angela and Swampwalker:I would like to thank all three of you for influencing my decision to purchase a "Video Essentials" DVD. As I feel that I am as serious about home theater as all three of you, I feel that this DVD is an indispensible t... 
Replace 35" TV with something bigger
Sean:I have the upmost opportunity to buy a "Video Essentials" Calibration DVD off of "E-bay" WELL BELOW retail (and believe it or not, it will be from someone from MY hometown...... Washington, D. C.). After reading this thread for about the last... 
BEST REAR PROJECTION HDTV??
Bazmataz:Although, I am not in the market for a rear projection HDTV as of yet, I have recently begun exploring the market as I do intend to get one within the next two years. As I already have a progressive scan DVD Player (a Pioneer Elite DV-37.... 
Which HT Receiver would you buy?
Stownel:Those are some good choices that you have listed above. Check out all of those choices, but for about $550.00 to $1,000.00, I would also check out the Harman/Kardon AVR-510 (I believe now, they are going to discontinue the AVR-510, because... 
Arcam Diva 72 vs CAL Mk II with HDCD upgrade
Hello Ekaras:How are you doing?? I was just reading the above comment, and all I have to say is that I disagree with what "Ritt" has to say in reference to the Arcam DiVA CD72. I read both European and American audio publications, and from what I ... 
How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES??
Bazmataz:OUCH!!!!!! $3,000.00???? For a remote?!?!?!?!?!?!!! That's an awful lot of money for a remote control system, isn't it?? But $3,000.00 for a remote control system?? That's about how much my entire home theater system costs. If you don't m... 
WHERE TO PURCHASE DVD MOVIES?
Fonsy66:Where do I purchase my DVD's?? Well, I have all kinds of sources from which I purchase my DVD's from. I tend to go to places like Blockbuster, Best Buy, and Costco to purchase either new (Best Buy or Costco) DVD's or used (Blockbuster) DVD...
