I've about settled on the Toshiba 57H82, and was checking it out again at (worst)buy today. They have a HDTV feed going into it (component vid) and were showing a LOTR 2 trailer. Every time there was a lot of motion on the screen, it would go crazy with motion artifacts and pixilization. Is this...

I really don't want to go over $2k, and was just about set on the 57h82 at onecall, but keep reading how the hdx is a better set. I was going to talk to Jason to see what he can do, but it says Retail only on the web site. Should I just get the h series and keep under my budget or should I fork...

I'm thinking of getting the 57h82 and was wondering how hard it is to remove the screen shield. I've seen posts that it will help the quality and reduce glare, but don't recall any saying how it is removed....

How good are the AudioQuest YIQG 2m Component Video Cables Onecall is giving away with their HDTVs? Trying to figure out if I should plan to use them or perhaps haggle the price by rejecting them... http://ww1.onecall.com/PID_17918.htm

I know this is a repeating question, but I'm trying to get the most for my money and am stuck between the PT53WX42 and PT56WX42. My room is pretty large, and the windows will let in a fair amount of light. I have 2 chairs at about 8ft and the couch is at about 9ft. I'll be watching mostly DVD...

I just got the CP-72 and am thinking of taking the next step and getting the HDTV to go with it. Now the 50 million dollar question...which one? I was thinking of at least 56" widescreen. It will need a good streatch mode (my wife watches a good amount of 4x3 cable.) Since the 72 doesn't do...

Onecall has the panny on sale including shipping for $2??. They also have a $30 rebate posted, so final price would be under $200 shipped! I've been debating on which player to get for a while, and that made my mind up...

I currently have a Samsung m101 (yuck) that works OK but has some issues. I'm planning to upgrade soon, but currently have a JVC 36" standard view TV. I have component video, but no progressive scan. I would like to upgrade, but I'm still not sure I'm ready for HDTV yet (especially the 2 grand...

Do the Aura Bass shaker Pros put the same type of load on an amp as a regular subwoofer does? I'm thinking of getting a cheap Sherwood receiver to power a couple pair (instead of a Partsexpress 110 plate amp) from Ccity for $69 and want to make sure I won't blow it (or the shakers). The signal...

I have the Onkyo 600 and JBL N26 mains with the NSP1 set center/surrounds and Sony SAWM40 sub. Where should I put the crossover? I had it at 100, but recently lowered it to 80 to get a little more sound from the front speakers. Should I leave it here or put it back to 100? (Will the N24's sound...

I'm thinking of getting some Aura Bass Shakers for my couch and I've got 2 questions. First, is the Pro model that much better than the standard to warrant the extra 25-50 bux on ebay? Second, what amp do you suggest to power them? I was thinking of getting either the audiosource SW8 or...

I have the TX-SR600 and am still playing with the settings for the surround levels. I haven't watched many movies yet, but haven't noticed them doing as much as I expected. I'm going to get the AVIA disk soon, but since it only does 5.1 (I think?), how should I set the level of the rear surrounds?

I ended up getting some AR performance cables from BestBuy, and noticed that Accessories4Less has the Pro series for a little more money. Are the Pro's noticably better?

Through a little "haggling" with the audio department manager, I just picked up a pair (new in box) of the discontinued N26's for $69, with a $30 9 yr BB warranty. It started at the BB price of $128, and he went right down to 98 plus the warranty. Then we went to the register and he said he'd...

I'm looking for some cables to hook all my new equipment up, and the prices of s-video (and all the others) at regular stores is expensive. I recently bought an optical cable from ebay for about 8 bux, and am thinking of getting gold tipped s-vid cables (6ft) for about 5 bux. Is it worth the...

I have the NSP1 set and am getting the Sony SA-W40 any day now. I also have the TX-SR600 on order and when it gets here want to eventually put the 6th surround to use. What speaker do you recommend if I only wanted to go with one surround? (Perhaps a 5th N24?) It seems most places only sell...

I've seen the H/k 320 listed with DTS-ES, but does it do Dolby Digital EX? I am trying to decide between it and the Onkyo 600. Will the 320 sound better than the onkoy 600 with 6.1/7.1 (with an extra stereo rear surround amp)? I read in another post the Onkyo uses matrix, not discrete...

I (like a lot of others here) am seriously leaning towards the new Onkyo 600 for my powerhouse. I have the JBL NSP1 set and am probably getting the sony 40 subwoofer. If I get this deck I'm not sure if I should get a single rear speaker or two. Will having 2 make it sound better or worse...
