I have the same player I bought to be modified. I am on a waiting list. So I don't have the results yet. I was told that it wouldn't effect the video at all,and that it mainly enhances your front 2 channel sound. If your interested check www.tweak...

PSB Stratus Gold i's- 1200.00-1400.00 These are a steal at retail prices(2700.00) and there gorgeous to boot. 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
Martin Logan- Statement E2's 
Audioquest Mammoth
I have a 15 foot pair. I am still breaking them in. My thoughts so far- They definetly need break in time. They are very detailed. I also think their very uncolored. I don't think I would pay full retail,but at 50% off(Audio Advisor) I think their...

Seek counseling immediately- You have the classic symptoms of Audiophileitis. Good luck my friend. 
PSB Stratus Goldi vs Paradigm Studio 100 v2
Having owned the PSB Stratus Golds(not the i's). I personally think they are one of the greatest audio bargains available. They sound incredible,and are a beautiful piece of furniture to boot. I wouldn't second guess your decision. You have purcha... 
Which Amp for ML Ascent i?
I have the Ascents,and I power them with the Pass X-150. Its a great match. Its very musical with plenty of slam,and very detailed. If you can spend 5K, the X-250 or X-350 would be a incredible match with your Ascents. 
Philips DVD 963 SA....your thoughts??

Cowboy Junkies
I agree Bux-Its clean music-but its liking eating rice cakes. Not a drop of substance. I have also TRIED to like the Trinity Session. It just falls way short. I hope I haven't offended any of my fellow "audiogon junkies" no pun intended 
Pass X-150
When I bought my first computer like everyone else on the planet I had free AOL for 6 months. I tried about 20 different usernames,and they were all rejected. I tried krelldog it got accepted,and the rest is history. I have never owned Krell. I al... 
Mono block suggestions
Eldragon- "Don't go with obvious" So without ever hearing them,or hearing of them I should go buy these? I agree there is alot of hype in this hobby,but one things for sure. When you buy equipment from a reputable company(Krell Pass,Levinson etc) ... 
Mono block suggestions
Ksales- My dealer is not trying to sell me anything. In fact he's well aware that if I went the mono's route,I would be buying them second hand. My dealer did not suggest mono's. Its actually my idea. I like the look of them sitting next to the sp... 
Power and Pre amp HELP & Recommendations needed.
Here is my suggestion- 750.00 will get you a used Adcom GFP 750. This is a great preamp. Spend 2K on a used Classe 200. Actually 2K will get you a used Krell,Levinson,etc. Spend the last 1K on interconnect and power cords. Matched with your Rotel ...
