| SONY WEGA and component video ......... CORRECTION!!! (egad, I feel like an oaf...) For confirmation, I went to the US Patent & Trademark office website to find out once and for all if it's Wega or Vega. Drumroll please... it IS, in fact, Wega. I have NO idea why. My only guess is t... | |
| Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS ES, THX, etc. An important footnote: Only THX licensees are allowed to use the term "EX" on their gear. Just one more point of confusion for the buying public. I, for one, get a kick out of how carefreely the manufacturers will will throw multiple formats/choic... | |
| B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate I lean towards the B&K (actually I have one on order at the moment) but its a tough call. Yes, Denon has nice processors (they use the 24 bit SHARC throughout), but B&K is the alpha test site for all Motorola chips--a nice advantage. So mu... | |
| SONY WEGA and component video ......... Tim...You can't adjust the sharpness level from the DVD player, that is one of the step-up features on the DVPS560 (its called the Digital Video Enhancer & the Video Equalizer)...at least I'm pretty sure--to find out, hit the "display" button ... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? Interesting thread folks. For my 2 cents, I am a believer in two principals...price is relative, and the law of diminishing returns. I dont think anyone should feel guilty spending whatever amount they wish on a system--it's their money, they earn... | |
| Flat Plasma: Worth the W.A.F. Premium? What is your time frame for the purchase? Reason is, alot of interesting news from the recent CES show in Vegas regarding flat panel (big plasma improvements, plus watch for Samsung--that's right, Samsung--new FLCD set, supposedly it looks superb)... | |
| Sonus Faber vs B&W I'm wondering if you're referring to the GP's new version (just out recently) or the previous model (with the stones). I'm a Sonus fan, though to be fair, I haven't had a real chance to demo 805's. The new GP's supposedly offer a richer depth, and... | |
| TV Options Terrifying Me. Please Help. Thanks and yes, I HAVE to do my homework (I'm the Director of Product Training for a large CE specialty retailer). Could there be "that much difference"? Surprisingly, yes... They all look fantastic, and so in that respect, it's hard to make a bad... | |
| TV Options Terrifying Me. Please Help. My suggestion is to go CRT if you are looking for maximum picture quality for sensible price (under$10K). If space is not a concern, but you DO want size, go rear projection. My personal opinion is that plasma shows lots of promise--but has a ways... | |
| B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate I plan on purchasing the 307 as well. HOWEVER, you should know that at the moment, the 5800 provides a discrete 6th channel (rear center) for the new 6.1 titles, whereas most if not all others (including the 307) create the rear center info by mat... |
