| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, Don't forget that Sony's Play Station 3 will play Blu-ray, so there a huge market penetration due to the sale of these machines. | |
| DK Design Integrateds Yeah, this amp was the "flavor of the month" awhile back...I remember all of the hoopla. You couldn't go a day without seeing 2 threads. There were some heated comments...my how time flies.However, despite the debate, there seemed to be quite a fe... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, Snooker14, I think that I screwed up...was it 720p, now going to 1080i? And I thought that the maximum HD channel bandwidth allowed for either 720p or 1080i, but NOT 1080p.After some research, I found these interesting websites:1080i vs. 1080p #11... | |

| Cartridge Break-in at High VTF? I personally wouldn't use a VTF above the manufacturers range. I wouldn't want to damage the suspension...but maybe I'm just being overly cautious. | |
| joy killing refridgerator Just easier for me to flip the breaker. Also, Jbello, be careful with the carpet or felt idea...if placed too close to the cooling coils, your electricity bill or even your refrigerator could suffer! | |
| joy killing refridgerator Fortunately, my 'fridge doesn't contribute to the line noise, as I'm using very good power cords and conditioners. But for critical nighttime listening, I can hear the audible compressor hum [I live in a small place!], so that gets tuned off, via ... | |
