| Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M? Both 5/2 versions are silver-clad OFC, but it's the cable design and 16 vs 24 conductors. Given the price for Silver Starlight 5/2 right now, yes, it's worth it. But Starlight would be fine if you haven't seen the Silver Starlight, or for HD Tuner... | |
| Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800? The Oppo and Marantz BD7004 use different ABT VRS chips.Now that I'm using WireWorld Silver Starlight 5/2 HDMI cables again (this time from BDP->A/V Rcvr->Plasma) the PQ is even better then I remember (more so because how bad it looked with ... | |
| SET the best? For me it was.I had a few well revered ss amps (Rowland, Threshold,...) and auditioned many others (Levinson, Krell,...), but when I decided to go tube, without any auditioning, just out of curiosity from what I had read, like you, it was, in hind... | |
| Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800? The BD8002 continues to impress me. Even with cheap $30 Dynex HDMI cable. Although I am going back to WireWorld Silver Star 5/2 (already replaced one; A/V Rcvr->Plasma). But before that I replaced the fuse with a HiFi Tuning SilverStar and I'd ... | |
| Remote control of hidden components? The Harmony IR Extender System works good. And the 300 remote was easy enough (novice, first universal remote) to program. But it's too limited with features/buttons even though I only have four devices. Only has "Watch TV" all in one command, can... | |
| Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M? I'm already noticing an improvement with PQ from the single WW SS 5/2 HDMI cable, even downstream between A/V Rcvr -> Plasma (still using cheap $30 Dynex cable between Cable Box -> A/V Rcvr, also BDP-> A/V Rcvr). It took a couple hrs to s... | |
| Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M? And I didn't buy from CJ's Audio Video. :p | |
| Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M? Transnova: No, I meant what components do you have? I wanted to know what cables people compared to and the HT gear being used.Audiojedi: Thanks. I haven't heard of Neotech. I'll check it out.Hifisoundguy: WW got it right when they made the SS 5/2... | |

| Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M? Transnova: Components? I didn't care for AQ though.Raks: I'm aware of the closeout pricing for WW SS 5/2. What cable did you replace? | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? It's actually when the component is on the bottom shelf (base of cabinet). The shelf rests on metal supports and doesn't transfer the vibration as much. I have considered placing something in between though as you suggested. The Vibrapod Isolators... | |
| HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....? Scuba dude: Thanks for joining this site just to share your cable wisdom. If only you had been around to tell me that before, 20 years ago. I could have saved so much $$$$$. So what cables have you actually compared and with what equipment to come... | |
| HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....? Switched to WireWorld (AP dealer had a meltdown with custom order). Decided on Orbit 16/4 terminated w/ WW Silver-Clad Banana Plugs/PINS (receiver/speaker), also Oasis 6 Subwoofer Cable. Working on custom REL speakON cable. Looking forward to it. ... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? No worries... I'm a fan of natural wood footers with audio system (Shun Mook), but the HT gear with it's spinning drives, fans,..etc was causing resonance through my [cheap] cabinet. Footers are a less expensive fix to a new $1K+ media console. | |
| How to set up REL Subwoofer? Wdt: Sorry I can't help.As far as using my new REL; this thing is fantastic and integrates perfectly with my Dali Motif LCR speakers. I'm only using it with LFE at the moment, with stock power cord and HiFi Tuning Fuse, but the bass is so well def... |
