GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
OK. I hate getting into these things too much. I have auditioned both in some degree of detail. The GMA room was set up by Roy ( I watched him do some of it myself). I have no idea who set up the Merlin room at CES but I have no doubt that it was ... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
The other comment that I have is regarding use of analog outputs for audio. The disk will still have encoded audio signal on it. The DVD player will have to have the firmware to decode the audio information in the player itself before sending the ... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
Hi Ears. Actually my posts are on the money with up to date facts and actually, you arent refuting anything I am saying; I am hopeful YOU are getting up to speed.You can hear Hi Rez audio by the folks that are creating it- DTS-HD and Dolby-HD are ... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
I reread your post;1. CES- I saw ALL of the Blue Ray demos- including PS3, the blu ray feature pack on what they will do with all of that disk space, and 2 other demos as well. One for the player and one for a presentation of technology. The only ... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
AS far as the latest news though, the real deal is that while both PS3 and XBOX will be financially successful, the future of hi def DVD by anybody is in doubt at this point. There are many factors required for either format to be successful, and ... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
Well lets try it again...1. Its not about a BD vs HD-DVD competition--the market will settle that.2. Actually I didnt see any analog outputs being used in the hi def demos at CES. What I saw was HDMI interconnects.3. Almost nobody has a 7.1 surrou... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
Well I read your rant. I am not talkin about PS3. Analog gear wont be useful as the copy protection will necessitate HDMI which as you know carries both audio and video signal. New firmware will be required on audio receivers in order to decode hi... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
In addition, I just finished the extended version of Return of the King- All 4 hours of it. The audio is awesome- the increase in bit rate isnt going to offer that much more.Also, for any format war to be meaningful, people are going to have to bu... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
Alrighty- How can you hear a difference when the receivers and firmware to decode the new audio codec don't even exist yet? And double bit rate dig-vhs isnt even the same thing. You appear to be commenting on something you have never heard. To be ...

GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
I won neither but have heard both at CES- The Callistos in 2005 and the Merlins in 2006. Both are winners. I'd go with the Merlins myself. IMMV. 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
Actually there are several manufacturers of HD-DVD players besides Toshiba and the deinterlacing will be worked out by the end of the year as a new crop of true 1080P input capable displays become available.AS far as High rez audio- I was at both ... 
Blu Ray over/under $
Mr. F-Lamb- I tried to sell you but there weren't any buyers.I have doubts about hi def DVDs making it in the long run. AS far as hi def DTS and Dolby- currently available data stream rates arent fully utilized in almost all soundtracks and after ... 
Blu Ray over/under $
Based on December 2005 The Perfect Vsion Gary Mearson article, many of the 1080P displays are not capable of truely displaying 1080P signal or receieveing it. HDMI is as yet an unsettled standard and true costs of any upgraded format and players a... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
In principle I agree with you Mr F-Lamb. I also think dvd-A and SACD represent a somewhat evolutionary step in certain realms of recorded audio--but it still hasnt panned out and many stores have sent the unsold stuff back never again to stock DVD...
