How to pack - a primer
Double boxing is absolutely a must.

Help I've Been Robbed

HT pre-amp/proccessor advise.

Wish list of higher quality recordings

Tweaks to Martin-Logan SL3s

simple HDTV question.
If you have an HDMI out on your Hi/Def Sattelite reciever-and a HDMI in on your Hi/Def TV-thats the best way to go. It all depends on your outputs and inputs................ 
I'm FINALLY finished: new 2-channel system
I'm a firm believer you can accomplish both within the same system. If my system was limited to sitting in a sweet spot and listening to 2 channel only-there is no way I could justify the expense of the gear I have. I know there are the purists th... 
What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts?
I'm not sure technically what the difference is....but DTS sounds alot better in my humble opinion. Its always a bonus when a movie or even better a concert DVD has a DTS version. 
what diff from rotel 1066 to 168? surr proc
I have the 1066. Its an excellent pre/pro. If your on a limited budget-forget the floor model I've seen them frequently here for 700-800 bucks. I also think its the perfect fit with your existing gear.
