Basic 2-channel A/V setup: Analog or HDMI?
Dawgcatching, the DVD playback *should* still be active on that unit. Check the settings, as there are a number of different ways that you can turn off the video output, and it could be that one of those functions is on. 
gallo reference 3.0 positioning?
Funny, I've been having the exact same issues with my Gallos lately. I used to have them on top of polycrystal amp stands, which only raised them about 3 or 4" higher than normal, and the sound was quite nice. I recently got a pair of the Bright S... 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
It's interesting that the only variables really being considered here regarding the timeframe for downloadable movies are consumer demand and technological capacity (for streaming full 1080P movies, etc.), when the real fly in the ointment is the ... 
Proper platform/support for a Musical Fidelity A5?
Oops...I forgot all about this thread. It's an A5 integrated amp. I've still been experimenting with footers on it, and it seems like the best fit so far between the A5 and my Symposium Isis rack are BDR cones. The system's set up in a room with o... 
Modded CD Player or Stock CD Player?

Modded CD Player or Stock CD Player?
I don't want to derail this thread, but I'm interested in how Dawgatching would characterize the improvements in moving from a VSE level 4 mod to a VSE level 6. I currently have a VSE modded level 4 DVP9000ES, and have been debating about whether ... 
NAD M3 versus Simaudio I-3 SE
I used to have a Sim I-3 (regular version) in my set-up, then after trying out several other amps, I settled on a NAD M3, so my impressions aren't side-by-side, and should probably be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, I found that the N... 
Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room?
I recently purchased some polycrystal amp stands here on the 'gon, with the intention of moving from a multi-shelf rack between my speakers (Gallo Ref 3's) to having the components on the amp stands (still in between the speakers, but taking up mu...
