PS3 or DVD1800BD
Aolmrd,I am TOTALLY with Chadnliz on this one, you are dreaming if you believe video is video! Either that or you have such a small and lame TV that you have no way to discern any difference. 
PS3 or DVD1800BD

Revel F52 or Canton Vento Reference
Depends on which Reference you are talking about.The Cantons are a quick tight and slightly warm speaker, with the larger reference (3.2, 1) added exceptional bass, they are a bit more friendly and more musical to my ears than the F52. Even the sm... 
Fellow McIntosh users - New table top radio

I have owned seven Blu-ray players and the best functionality I have found so far is in the Sony BDP-S350, and it can be had for  
Moving from Mark Levinson to Classe
Jp,Why not?The SSP 800 is something like $8K right? You should be able to sell the ML pre and Lexicon for about that, though I would try to keep the pre first and just sell the Lex for what you can get for it. This will also allow you to use the n...

CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going?
No, I didn't even go in, I have never been impressed by Magico, I know I fly in the face of many reviewers but that's my feeling and I stick to it!
