what do i really need 1080p for?
I wonder who these folks are that can't see the difference between a 720P signal and a 1080i or 1080p? lolThey must be the same people that think an up converted DVD and Blu ray look the same. :-)I use my panels for everything including surfing th... 
what do i really need 1080p for?
720p TVs are on their way out of production. All newer models produced will be 1080p. Cable is still trying to gear up for 720p at the moment. As with all technology that moves faster than the general public, 1080i or 1080p will become a standard.... 
what do i really need 1080p for?
Actually there are some stations broadcasting in 1080i over the air. CBS seems to be doing this more than the other big networks. CSI, David Letterman and the like.. look phenominal on my 52 inch LCD Sharp Aquos 1080p..they also look great on the ... 
SET amp for high efficiency horn speaker
I second the KR audio amps...definitely one of the quietest amplifiers on the market. When I state no noise, I mean absolutely no noise from the speakers..even with an ear on the driver. It is the quietest amplifier I've experienced at home or any... 
? about oppo
Yeah I order only Blu rays from Net flix. I don't bother with regular DVDs any more. lol 
? about oppo
Hey Streetdaddy I got news for you brotha, The Bluray is much better my friend. Once you cross that threshold.. you'll understand.The Oppo's do look terrific..I give them their just dues. I was impressed with a buddy's unit on his big screen.Maybe... 
LCD HD TV Picture Quality Lacking
I like both Plasma and LCD. Both work well depending on the environment they are in. For a well lighted room the LCD is the better choice. They are much brighter by comparison. Mine a (Sharp) has a light sensing mechanism. The more light that ente... 
LCD HD TV Picture Quality Lacking
Yes the best way to see what these TVs can do, is to use an antenna for HD broadcast or go Direct TV / Dish.Cable TV hasn't quite caught up yet. Especially the channels still broadcasting in analog. Quality also varies depending on the model and s... 
I just don't get PC Audio
I think the only way to get PC audio... is to try it. Where did you see a person needs to spend 4 or 5K to get audiophile quality? Most of us that are now in PC audio already know the outcome..it's the ones that are still clinging to CD players th... 
Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please
Brian from what I've experienced you may be pleasantly surprised moving to an active tubed preamp with this setup. It will give you that richness and weight you speak of IMHO.Enjoy 
Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please
I use Single driver speakers and love them, but I must admit the CS2s are just as coherent as my SDs. I do not hear any coherency problems. You really should hear them set up properly before passing judgement.So far they are the only speakers with...

Hey Shadorne wait till the Origen housed 8 channel digital crossover/music server with optional touch screen display is released. It should eliminate the preamp,dac and DSP when it is complete.

I for one have enjoyed my friends set of CS2s. Every time I hear them I'm amazed at how good they sound. 
Best DAC for under $1500
The Theta Va is a winner IMHO. Very musical Dac..no grain or hardness from what I could detect. 
Why negative reviews on USB with newer USB DACs?
My thinking is some of those reviewers didn't know how to configure their Macs or PCs to get the best out of them.I still use my optical input from time to time, when I don't want to downsample to the Dac 3.It is still being fed from the PC though...
