    Is there a concensus on Digital Audio cable quality like there is on Optical?

    Thanks anyways. Im not that strapped for cash. Although Im not much wiser after this thread either but I guess you just have to roll with the punches. I think Im going to pick up the cable when I make my BJC purhcase later this month. Thanks for the input guys.

    Bought Coupling (UK) DVD on a blind buy.......

    Their bringing it back. YES! This has to be my all time favorite comedy. Just wait till seasons 2 and 3 come out. They are even better than the first.

    Thanks Mike but are you talking about Optical or Digital? At least someone finally got my point.

    recommend a remote control

    Id go with the Mx-500. I just purchased it along with the Kameleon and tried them together. After 24 hours I couldn't stand the Kameleon any longer. It kept coming on when my sub fired, makes a humming hoise (albeit a very distinct one) and is not nearly as customizable as the 500 was. Plus the...

    Ive read several places that, for the most part, optical quality won't make a difference in percieved quality. Of course the high end will be better than the 2 dollar cables. The question still remains about the digital cables, does quality matter among the mid and high end cables?

    Is there a concensus on Digital Audio cable quality like there is on Optical?

    As far as I understand it, the concensus is that optical cables are pretty much going to get the same results no matter how expensive they are. Im wondering if its the same way for digital cables?

    Pelican XBOX component cables for $3.99...

    Anyone got a line on these? Are these good quality? I know their not Monsters but at 3.99 can they be that bad?

    What's the best way to set up an HT when recliners are involved?

    For some reason the graphic won't come out right. The other recliner should be against the other side with the rears directly behind or beside them.

    Ok got another one for you guys. Im trying to decide where to mount the rears. Here are my options: x=recliner l=side walls y=speaker - = back wall Option 1: Here the surrounds would be mounted about 2 feet behind and above the recliners on the side walls. l l l l l l l x x l...

    What's the best way to set up an HT when recliners are involved?

    Well since Im going to be putting the fronts on stands and the rears mounted to the wall, is it possible to get them both at the same level. I was under the impression that the rears were best mounted above the listening position, which would obviously make them uneven with the fronts.

    What's the best way to set up an HT when recliners are involved?

    Thanks for the replies guys and sorry for the lack of info. I have already purchased the recliners. They are fairly normal and don't have any headrests or high backs. I purchased them at Sams club. Pretty nice for the money. As far as the equipment goes I will be having the following...

    What's the best way to set up an HT when recliners are involved?

    I wasn't quite sure where to post this but since it involves tweaking my system I figured this was the best place. I've decided to go with 2 recliners for my small HT room and Im lost on the best way to set this thing up. The main problem is how to determine speaker location and settings when...
