| Recommendations for my less than ideal setup Gallo Ref 3.1s. Image like crazy - beyond crazy - more like insane! Huge sweet spot - you won't believe it until you hear it for yourself.

| Off brand hdtv sets..... Exactly Philolet! In 5 years you'll wish you weren't stuck with that lowly 1024p 120 Hz deep color TV. In ten years, you'll really really want to buy that new 100" OLED 16K 1024 Hz extra super deep color TV/videocom/workstation that displays 12 ch... | |

| Off brand hdtv sets..... For 30 years I only bought Sony. Now, I will likely never buy another one. Nothing wrong with them, it's just that they are expensive and I am not a videophile so paying for the excellent Sony picture is not worth it to me (I want save that money ... | |

| First Steps into Computer Audio "good ol' Ethernet may be the dark horse"Ethernet has beat out every other technically superior network protocol in the world because... it's dirt cheap to implement. For world markets it's not so much about building a better mousetrap as building... | |
| Looking for DAC/CD player solution OK, thanks for all that info. First, let me answer your question: "What is a transport?"Using a CDP as a transport means that you don't use the analog outputs of the CDP, only the digital outputs. When you do this, the sound of your CDP is really ... | |
| Looking for DAC/CD player solution "the Benchmark DAC1 Pre may be able to handle all the sources "Nope - it won't handle the HDMI from the computer or the Blu-Ray player. Indie, it's hard to setup a system w/o knowing how you intend to use the system. For example, you could use you... |
