| Mellencamp on Music Business mellencamp is a nice guy has produced one noteworthy album in a long, undoubtedly honorable career--i'm not sure he's acheive3d the status of visionary. | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates interesting, bizarre post. lloyd is often my favorite guitarist--listen to his shit with matthew sweet, among others. i chanced to see him live in chicago recently, and he was completely wacked out--palapably schizo--tho he's still a great guitari... | |

| Joseph Audio Vs. Von Schweikert Vs.? you nominate some outstanding candidates, although you'll be hard pressed to score some of 'em at your $1500 price point. for fronts in a ht, i don't think you can beat dunlavy--they're the best imaging, most detailed speaker i've heard. you wont ... | |

| ARCAM DV137 HOOKUPS i'd connect your video as you state above. for audio, i would connect both the hdmi to your yamaha and a set of analog cables from the arcam to the analog "cd" input on the yamaha--you would then use the dvd mode on the yamaha for dvds and cd mode... | |

| Best HT starter system? if i had $750 to spend, and planned to switch video directly thru the tv, i'd get on ebay with the view to the following:1. $150-200 or so for an older 5.1 or receiver; i'm partial to integra and marantz;2. $50-100 for a denon dvd-2800 or integra ... | |
| NAD T763 or B&K AVR 202 i owned the b&k for a long time before selling it on impulse to get a denon avr--big mistake. the b&k sounded fantastic on movies and esp. on music, was bulletproof and had the best learning remote i've ever used. it doesn't have the numer... |
