I received a shipping notice too, I should receive mine next month! :b
I guess the more important question is who is actually using the Audio Authority 1154, and are you satisfied it is passing full HD signals?I am.
Is there a significant drawback to using something mickey mouse and cheap like those RS products?On a 20" tube TV - no
On a 50" RPTV - possiably
On a 50" HDTV - loss of some focus/resolution because you are shoving 13 - 35 Mhz signals through circuits designed for a max frequency of 4 Mhz. The signals WILL get through, but there will be some roll-off and possiably some reflection/ghosting.
But you would really need to hook a source directly to the TV, and the same source through a switch box then to the TV and do an A/B comparison to notice.
Most people dont notice the problem because the sheer improvement of a HDTV over ordinary television is so dazzleing that it swamps/hides little imperfections. Or you get used to the little motion-artifacts caused by the line-doubler with regular video and dont realize you could reduce them using HD rated switch box or cable from a progressive/HD source.
So these are subtile improvements or reduction-of-problems.
