| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? "Like a good stereo system, does the quality of the picture matter to the enjoyment of a program? "Of course!"Or is a high quality picture even necessary to "get the message" of the show?"Nope!"So what do you watch your favorite show on?"Well, don... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp Currently using a passive - specifically a Sonic Euphoria PLC... (TVC for the uninitiated).I think all this back and forth on passive vs. active (even subjects such as bass reflex vs. sealed, floorstanders vs monitors, etc) are all based on really... | |
