    What would you want? 20" Flat-screen or 27" Curved TV?

    My old 27" Mitsubishi dies on me. It was a hand-me-down. As a replacement present I received a 20" Samsung Dynaflat TXL2091 direct-view tv. It has S-video and Component inputs. However, I'm a little worried about the size. Is a 20" going to be big enough? It's my main viewing tv in my...

    FS: Sony DVP-S7700 DVD Player $375.

    Unit is in great shape. I still have the original remote. The player still has the 96/24 sticker on the front fold-down door. I do not have the original box or instructions. I am selling in order to fund a Playstation 2 purchase. I also have sinced moved up to a HTPC as my DVD player. Most...

    Would the Kenwood 507 be better than my Yamaha 995?

    I have an old Yamaha RX-V995 that's about two years old. I never bought a 5.1 speaker setup, because I went back to living in a dorm before I could finish building a home setup. So I ended up using a pair of DCM 10" full-range floorstanders for the front. Well, I have sinced moved out and am...

    $500 to spend on a 32" tv or flat-screen 27"?

    Ok, I was all set to go with a Toshiba 32A41 for $499 at Best Buy. I am trying to get a used CRT projector for my main movie watching. However, that might not take place till November or December. Either way, I was going to get a television to use for regular NTSC viewing and sports. Back to...

    Will Sennheiser HD600 work with Techno/Trance music as well?

    I tried looking over at Link Removed on this subject, but their forums are currently down. I am starting to really get into Classical and some Jazz listening. I had thought about getting a good 2-Channel setup, but living in an apartment limit the level of sound I can play at. So, I went...

    Questions dealing with XLR balanced jacks to Samson amps.

    I didn't mean for the subject line to sound like I was specifically talking about connecting a XLR output to a Samson amp. I had other questions too. I meant it to sound like I was covering everything from anything to XLR. Ok, I tried to search for these, but the search function doesn't seem...

    Do you have to have multiple channels to take advantage of SACD?

    I have not researched SACD yet. I'm currently looking into it. I have read a few posts and I know that SACD can output into multi-channel. However, is SACD 2-channel superior to say, using a regular CD and cd player? If you have any links that discuss SACD I would love to see them. Thank you.

    Would it be better to use the VGA input on a RPTV over component?

    I went by a local electronics store recently to check out the RPTV's they had. I am going to be using a HTPC (Home Theater PC) for my DVD playback and "scaler" for NTSC viewing. They didn't have it in stock, but they were going to be selling the Mitsubishi WS-55859 55", which is almost the...

    Questions regarding seperate components for Music & HT.

    I am trying to purchase some new speakers and possibly amps, however, the speakers come first. I'm currently looking at a five speaker setup of Norh 4.0's and one SVS sub. I am going to audition the Norh's in October (a kind person on this forum is inviting me over). My questions deal with...

    Progressive Scan DVD player or DVDO iScan Pro?

    I'll admit that I don't know much about the iScan Pro. However, I'm trying to go the best upgrade route for my home system. I am in the market for a RPTV that can display a progressive image. I currently have a Sony 7700 DVD player. I was going to look into getting a progressive scan DVD...

    What is meant by "element" when talking about RPTV crt guns?

    I am doing some research for my first RPTV purchase and I have noticed that you can get 5-element guns and 6-element guns, etc. What does this mean? Is a 6-element that much better than a 5-element? BTW, I am looking at the Mitsubishi 55859 and the Toshiba 50HX81. I have seen the Toshiba up...

    Will all of these direct-view tv "problems" really affect the regular viewer?

    I have been putting off purchasing a tv for a while, because of money. However, that might change within the next month or so. Before I start with my subject question, I am currently using a old second-hand Mitsubishi 27" that buzzes all the time. But it was free at the time. That gives you...
