Only 5 to 8000 hours??? show me one that claims more. ( you better hope it lasts because Samsung has NO BULBS)2,799?? Not for a 5063HD3 chip is not new, all HLNs had them also.Samsung's new line of DLP's are just as bad as the HLNs(Buyer Beware) 
Stands for Green Mountain Europa
Osiris 24.5" stands are best by far. You can also easily adjust tilt if needed. Signature Sound was the last place to get them new, they are now sold out.S.S. was selling for 299.00 inc. shipping.

Lost in Speaker Cable Land - $350 Budget
Cabling is very subjective and somewhat system dependent. That being said, after using several pricey cables I have settled on and kept AP Oval 9s and Luminous SS ICs.I am finally off the cabling merry-go-round, they work for me.

Worldcat I never said it sucked, and It may well be close to the best you can get.But, within a year you will probably be able to buy a DAC with equal performance for a whole lot less. My point was that this is not the time to dump big $$$$$$ on a... 
looking for a warm ss amp....
You will NEVER get the sound you want until you lose the Denon completly. Since the pre amp is more important than the amp, why would you want to use part of the Denon??Save money on cabling and get a good Integrated, Mac 6500, Audio Refinement Co...

Request setup tips from VMPS RM-40 owners.
My setup was simple, after one month I carefully boxed the 40s and used a dolly to cart to garage and then placed a for sale ad in Audiogon.PS If you keep the Bryston, MSB and Kimber you may only make a week before journey to garage.

Scott Nixon - Sarudac+? TubeDac+? vs CI Audio
I would stick to the straight TUBE DAC. If you have Maggies or stats then the artifical zing of the plus and the slightly lower bass may be your cup of tea. I just ordered a tube dac and upgraded PS after spending a few hours with a friends unit i... 
How do you clean your speaker grills?
The absolute best way is to us a length of clear 3" shipping tape. Start at top and gently place against grill and then slowly remove, continue down and use more tape as needed.Grills will look like new and when you look at the used pieces of tape...

Can I bi-amp ProAc Response 3's
Yes, they can be bi-amped, but why??? Nothing but money and trouble and more cables and ICs. Get a good amp, SS or tube and be done with it.
