Playstation3 's Blue-Ray vs Stand Alone Units
Ekobesky-There is now a firmware update for the PS3 that allows for upconversion of standard DVD's (I think to 1080p). I don't know what version # is, but if you updated with the latest FW version on Sony's site for the PS3, it will include the up... 
Marantz SA-11S2 vs. Esoteric SA-10 vs. NAD M5
I have not heard NAD M5 or the SA-11S2, but I do currently own the Esoteric SA-10, which I really like. Great on redbook, even better on SACD. Very extended on both ends, and nice fluid, natural sound. Plenty detailed. I too have been curious abou...

What power cord for BAT VK-300x SE integrated?

Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help...
Mboldda1- point taken. I may have not given them enough time to make a totally fair judgement. 
Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help...
Mboldda1-I had Rob at Audio Art put them on the cable cooker before he sent them to me, so for what it's worth, yes they were burned in. 
Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help...
I have recently tried all 3. I borrowed some Signal silver IC's with eichmann bullets and wasn't that impressed. I then tried the Audio Art IC-5 interconnect and SC-5 speaker cables(in the last month), and sent them back for a refund. Don't get me...
