Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
I have had problems with two copies of the new Springsteen, BUT on the DVD side. The CD side has played fine. The first one simply locked up on the menu page with white streaks across the page. The second one played the album DD5.1 fine but I got ... 
On the Transmigration of Souls

Subwoofer with 2 channel stereo setup
For my purposes I selected an REL sub. The reasons for this are the unique high level (music) and low level (LFE) connections and set-up. The REL subs a traditional rca interconnect for the LFE channel. However it also uses a second proprietary co...

"EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE" is the one I would pick with "AFTER THE GOLDRUSH" very close behind and several others finishing a close third.

Denon DVD-2900 or Pioneer DV-868AVi-S ??
I have owned both the Pioneer 47a and Denon 2900. I would rate the Pioneer far superior to the Denon in video performance. The Denon simply has too "soft" (for lack of a better term) picture for me. Both of these players fall far short on SACD pla...
