Fedex Weekly Damage Report
I just recieved a claim check in the mail last week from UPS. They paid half of what I was asking for. I had $5000.00 insurance. I filed a claim for $500.00 on a damaged amp. I recieved less then $300.00. All in all it was better then nothing. 
what dvd player with progressive scan?

how many channels?

Best place to start when upgrading?
Start anywhere you can. Shop for deals on components or speakers. Once you commit to a brand of speaker stay with it for your whole system. Add a sub that compliments your speakers. This will take some time and effort. But when it's done every mov... 
To turn off or not to turn off
I want to leave my stuff on, I really do. I know it would be better for my three solid state amps if I did, but the power bill would be way to high. I use to leave my 100-watt amp on 24/7. My current 300-watt amp gets turned off when not in use ex...

SdCambell was right on the money with Super Speedway(IMAX) Amazon has it for $20.00. I just recieved my copy last night. Cranked it up in DTS. The newer MACH II version (Just released) has the 16:9 transfer. Except no substitutes :~)

THANK GOD your office system is still up. The thought of you standing in line at the public library for hours trying to get on line gives me goose bumps. That would be very undignified for an Audiophile of your stature.But, if you had a Walkman I'...
