| Blu Ray from the HTPC Hi Patrickp that's great! What type of video card do you use? I just upgraded / added a new HTPC with a QUAD core processor installed using a Geforce 256 bit 1 GB ram 8800GT Nvidia for video. Referencing my CPU usage, the PC cruises between 4% to ... | |

| Best way to set up computer server on the cheap? Welcome aboard the HTPC train!! Well for starters to get the best out of the PC for audio you need to use an outboard Dac or a USB converter.The other option is go wireless.For movie and basic music playback, the PC's SPDIF out is just fine. You'l... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System Gordon I'm well aware what you do. Nothing wrong with the Mac..it just doesn't work for me.Now I'm nuts because I have my own preferences? Is your word the gospel now? I suppose all of us that do not own your Dacs are nuts?Thanks but no thanks I l... | |
| Does Sony Blue-ray BDP-S350 output HD audio from ? Looks like it is only through HDMI. The unit does have 2 channel analog output. You need 7 channel output to get the Dolby TrueHD for all channels. If you bought a BRP that did have 7 audio outputs, you could connect it to your older receiver's an... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System Matter of opinion I suppose, I've already compared a Mac to my PC system last year at home. I for one prefer PC. More software and flexibilty for my needs..different strokes for different folks...nothing wrong with that. | |
| Blu Ray or Oppo? I equate the Blu ray format to Plasma TV. Less than 10 years ago, a 42 inch would run you 10 grand. I'm sure there are many that thought this will never catch on. Low and behold ..what has happened?Why on earth would I buy an older DVD 480i movie,... | |

| Blu Ray or Oppo? Yup...definitely go Blu. Most Blu rays will upconvert as well. Just how much do you believe you have to spend on a Blu ray player to get a good one? If buying an expensive one makes you feel better, get a Denon 3800 or a Pioneer.I was in a guys ho... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System From experience, I would go for the HTPC. The Blu ray drive is a God sent! Make sure you have a good video card. Something like a Nvidia 8800GT or similar. Also check to make sure the tuner card is HDTV capable. This way you can get HD channels OT... | |
| Fall Flat Panel Lineup You've received some terrific advice! As mentioned the source and calibration of these panels is the key. Use the best sources you can..just like audio. And calibrate the TV once you receive it. That's the tough part about judging any of these TVs... | |
| LCD TV - Are they reliable ? Honestly I think it is wasted money for warranties on LCDs or Plasmas. Different story for a DLP though. The bulbs in most are only rated for 4000 or less.. just like a projector.Never had any problems with my Samsung plasma and so far none with a... | |
