| Not considerin3D,isn't AV market rather stagnant? Excuse my error, I meant to say Quad Full HD not four! | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Tylercoupe,I don't know I would agree that the Ref 5 is any more than 80% of the 40th AE. I had them both for a while and when swapping back in the Ref 5 the sound compared to the AE was thin (something I never thought I'd say about the Ref 5!) an... | |
| Not considerin3D,isn't AV market rather stagnant? Criderfive,You do realize that the standard chosen for home is Quad Four HD not Cinema 4k right?Their is only an 8% difference in the number of pixels but QFHD will allow use of the 16:9 aspect ratio.I doubt you will see any/many more TRUE Cinema ... | |
| worst cover songs..... Viridian,How could you hate the Pat Boone In a Metal Mood?????I bought that disc for shits and giggles and played it once in my convertible driving down the beach, I laughed so hard throughout I was crying!!!! That album is hysterically funny and ... | |
| Not considerin3D,isn't AV market rather stagnant? While I agree with 3D sucking a$$ I think 4k IS a huge benefit especially for those of us who need large fixed pixel displays. the Sharp 80' 1080p sets screen doors so bad you can see it at 8-10 feet, the pixels simply are too large for any reason... | |
| Long interconnect cables I run 25 foot balanced to my front amps, not problem. | |
| Benchmark DAC 1- Pre Play nice guys! Yes, I know personally from Benchmark (I've had the DAC 1 pre and HDR from them) that the only difference is the powered volume and remote. It is a great little piece! Awesome DAC and the analog section is pretty damn good as well.... | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 This was a good year to be my rig, it got updated with Wilson Sasha W/P's and the Center 2 as well as upgrading my Krell Evo 403 to the 'e' status and I also got the ARC 40th Anniversary Edition preamp, also got an Oppo 95 but that is just for HT ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Yeah, Macallan has essentially priced itself out of the market. They sell most of their product to Asia where it is a major status symbol, in the US me and my friends drink the 21 Port Balvenie. It's available for ~$200 and is to my palette better... | |
| Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD Told you!The level of realism offered from the new codecs of Blu-ray are insane on a good system! Hell they even sound better on a mid-grade system! | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Doogie, Obviously I wouldn't! I was just curious what the price difference was and glad I sold my Ref 5 before the SE upgrade came out! I doubt I will ever need another preamp with the 40th AE, it truly SMOKES the Ref 5 and I loved the Ref 5 when ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps I already have the 40th AE so it had to go anyway..... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Rja,If you can find it try the 25 y/o Talisker....I still have a few ounces of that one left and it is insanely good! I used to drink Macallan but the prices have gone out of control. I used to get the 25 y/o for $99 and you could buy it in the gr... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... You are so right, the Macallan's have priced themselves out of the market for me, I remember when the 25 was $99 and was available in the grocery store! Now it's hidden behind the counter in the LLS! | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps That seems pretty fair, I like that they use the 40th AE faceplate on the SE model (I always disliked the recessed button)Also makes me glad I just recently sold me Ref 5 before the SE version came out!!! |
