Which Projector??????
Having seen both, I think the DLP is so much better (and as I recall more expensive). You have to buy the best CRT to beat the image of DLP. Another couple generations and DLP will be king. (to quote some high-end home theater folks) I also like t... 
ARC 100.2 vs Pass Alephs
Have you thought of upgrading your Pass? I have the Pass Aleph 4 (100 easy watts/ch)and absolutely love it powering my Revel Studios. There are also some Aleph 2 monoblocks occasionally for sale. 
DVD Audio -- processor....TOSLINK or RCA?
Fatparrot is right...... RCA connection has much less noise and jitter.btw: the reason to use an outboard processor is because the built in ones use the cheapest chips available on the market, assuming that anyone that uses them has a very simple ... 
Great cd players that can connect directly to a power amp?
I don't own it, but a friend runs his Levinson #39 directly into his power amp and loves it. It has an analog volume control (very important). 
Best speaker cable for non-powered subwoofer?

Need opinions: Proceed AVP vs. Anthem AVM20
Sean,thanks for the heads-up about anthem.... I didn't know they were part of Sonic Frontiers. hope they last 
Need opinions: Proceed AVP vs. Anthem AVM20
I have not heard the Anthem, but do own an AVP. Its a wonderful unit. The upgrade coming soon will leapfrog everything else. Its supposed to incorporate many of the features and dacs developed for the new Levinson #40 A/V controller ($40,000 incid... 
Nordost vs NBS
I have NBS cables all around and bought some Nordost cables because of all the people who love them. I tried Quattrofils as interconnects and although they sound great, I felt they weren't quite as natural sounding as my NBS Statements. I have gon... 
Pass Aleph amps suitable for HT?
I'm using an Aleph 4 (100w/ch into 8ohms) for right and left and a Proceed Amp2 biwired for the center. (with all Revel speakers) It sounds wonderful!! The Aleph 4 has plenty of power and speed (slew rate is 30v/usec) for sound effects in movies. ... 
Why so many Power plants for sale?
I agree with jbweaver, I think they have sold lots of them and many people(a couple I know) have upgraded to bigger ones to put more stuff on them. I have a P600 and really love it. I have everything except my power amp hooked to it (including my ... 
Recommend good satellite speakers?
You don't mention what price range you're willing to go, but some totally wonderful satellites are the Revel Gems. They are amazing. They will last you forever, just add a subwoofer when you finally move. 
Help Cable is causing a Buzz/Hum in HomeTheatre Amp.
If you must buy something from the store, use the $7 solution mentioned above. This is NOT a $100 problem!!! I just took a wire with an aligator clip on one end clipping it to the "shield" on the tv cable and connecting the other end to my power s... 
HELP BARCO or ELECTROHOME?
I looked into that Barco 800. Spec wise its a real bargain, but my reason for not buying was that it only accepts RGB inputs, not Component inputs which is what all the current HT controllers and highend dvd players will output. You will need to b... 
Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like?
I used to love my ML#331 (not the current line) until someone told me to try the Pass Labs Aleph line. I sold my 331 for the Aleph 4 because it sounded even more natural and real. You won't go wrong with ML, but you might still prefer some others.... 
Problem with speaker at higher volumes - answers????
