Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
Sorry Rlwainwright. I respectfully disagree with you. The new lossless codecs are head and shoulders above all the legacy codecs previously used to decode DVD. I am certainly not overstating anything. I wouldn't have wasted my time with Blu Ray if... 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
I am in the camp that believes that the new audio codecs available via Blu Ray disc are a quantum leap forward in sound quality. These new codecs have renewed my enthusiasm for home theater. Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio are stunning. They... 
How far apart in quality is 1080i vs. 1080p?
I love the PS3 and it has superb Blu Ray playback. It has the fastest load time of all models, either stand alone or PS3 game and Blu Ray player.

How many more years before cd's become passe?

New Processor - HDMI Switching???

Onkyo TX-SR875 or 905-- anyone???
Hi, I own an 875. I think that holding out for the 905 might be prudent. It has HD radio, Internet connectivity, and a better amplifier section. That being said, I do love the 875. The Reon does wonders at improving the sd picture from Directv. I ... 
Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV.
I bought a Sony 52 inch KDLXBR2 LCD flat panel and I just love it. The price has dropped a great deal to make room for the new XBR 4 and 5 models. Truly stunning picture quality in 1080P, along with my Playstation 3 with built in Blu Ray player. I... 
Dust...It's Killing Me
I'm all ears because I have the same problem. I am not interested in any filtration devices that have a noisy motor. I do have a Sharper Image Quadra, Ionic Breeze. It does help, but not enough. 
Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?
I do believe that the person that initiated the thread fully expected us to chime in with what we feel is the best preamp money can buy. This being based on our own personal experience. Therefore, my uphill climb has led me to believe that my Mess...

Need artist's name
Is it available on vinyl? 
Power conditioners
It really depends on your particular setup. You don't know the benefits that you will reap until you try different units with your gear. I tried several Power conditioners. I have settled into an APC S20 Power conditioner with battery back up. Det...
