| AC plug benefit? Porter ports are a terrific investment. I have several. | |
| Has anyone used "Quiet Rock" sheet rock in room? An interesting somewhat less expensive idea would be to use the DENSARMOR sheetrock. It is paparless and mold resistant.The reason I mention this is that we did a re-model for a client and used regular half-inch rock on some walls and the DENSARMO... | |
| Highest component/cable ratio? That first jump from the cables that came with to component to almost any quality, albeit not expensive cable is such an improvement that I can see why we get hooked. Early on, even when I was using Bose 901 Speakers I was really amazed in the qua... | |
| How important is HDMI? Larry;You will be okay if the extra weight is on the DVI end, not the HDMI.You would still be better off using a cable with HDMI at one end and DVI at the other. | |
| How important is HDMI? Oh, one rather nasty problem with HDMI: If you keep plugging it in-out-in-out-in, etc, the contacts at your port(never in the cord...) wear out really easy and you will be 'up the creek....'Also, N-E-V-E-R use an HDMI/DVI adaptor: it is too heavy ... | |

| Is Acoustic Zen still in business? Sometimes when I can't get into a website I try again using Firefox--this almost always solves the 'problem' | |

| Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck. I never gave it a second thought. | |
| Bose 901...really Having experienced the nirvana of really efficien speakers, I know that the 901s are in many ways, lacking.That being said, I have to point out that I was using a pair of 901s when first I joined the club here at Audiogon and the first improvement... | |
| Bose 901...really I am thinking of using them for a while at my two rear channels in a home theatre. | |
| 24/96 tube dac......24/192 ss dac Your question is a good one that might also be somewhat dependant on manufacturer and model.For the last five years I have been using an Audio Aero Capitole that has 24/96 and it has consistently sounded great.I do think it sounded best when doing... | |
| What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500 For upconversion I have just purchased an ANTHEM D2. It even upconverts my satellite feed. | |
| What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500 Stop. Even Netflix is no longer supporting HD-DVD. | |
| Netflix going Blu I am bummed. I was totally in the Blu-Ray camp until I got an HD-DVD (A3) and a BD-P1000; the first works really good and the other has been nothing but trouble! |
