Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used?
Tom,While I have had long term experience with three of these players as I posted in my initial post, I totally agree with what everyone is saying, buy a Sony BDP-S350, they street for sub $200, and it is a profile 2.0 capable player that function... 
CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going?
Skippy,In a word, NO, nothing new and cool, the biggest thing was Chord's Bluetooth DAC, but it was usurped by Sherwood having the same tech on a $400 receiver!!!!!Vizio was showing a 55 inch 240 Hz TV that will ship in June and RETAIL for $1,999 ... 
KRELL S-300i How does it sound ?
I heard it this weekend with the head units from Krells new speakers, it was really sweet and musical, Dan said they incorporated much of the Evo technology into that amp and actually built it as a separate amp and pre-amp inside one box. It is a ... 
CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going?

your reference dvd
I go Blu-ray for that, if you are still using a DVD for this, you are behind the times!I like X Man III as the scene when they show Xavier University has some amazing detail and colors, a great video demo.For audio, I have people just watch a film... 
What to see at CES?
New/current AV preamps! 
Blue Ray Quality with a 1080i / 720p HDTV?
Ozzy,If you troll Amazon you'll be able to get many good titles for ~$18, at least that has been my average over the last two years.I sort of stopped buying them as Netflix rents them, so does BB but not as many are there.UncleJeff,SD DVD is 480i,... 
Blue Ray Quality with a 1080i / 720p HDTV?
Ozzy,Does your TV look better on say the Discovery channel HD vd regular?I bet it does.Now consider that blu-ray has far less compression to the video signal (audio too but that is another issue) and you will quickly see that yes, you will see an ... 
CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going?
Lc,The AVN's are there the same time as CES, Thursday to Sunday.I am wondering how I will do CES, T.H.E. Show and still make time to stop by the AVN's to thank several studios for help this year....I guess I will sleep when I come home after! 
What do your think of the following...
Emotiva makes many of the upper end companies boards, they are a solid company with great prices thanks to direct to consumer marketing, I would highly reccomend them as an entry multichannel amp!

Feeding my system 4 Adcom 555's & 1 GFA-545
Well, consider that a standard 15 Amp line delivers 1,800 Waats.......You will of course do better with adding some dedicated lines. How many is up to you, I ran five 20A and two 15A lines when I did my power for the HT as I figured I would make s... 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
Tlg,NO DVD's are encoded in Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD MA, only Blu-ray's can handle the bandwidth necessary for these, and most do have one or the other, especially on the new releases. 
Is mp3 320 mbps good enough for your ears?
I wish I had that problem, I would save tens of thousands of dollars on my AV gear!320 does it for headphones (correction, earbuds!) but on my main rig? CD is minimum, LP, SACD, DVD-A.......
