Joe, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, ;)

Louis,

Perhaps I was not clear. I understand what the RE-EQ does, or is supposed to do. I think that on my receiver it is possible that the timing, delay, of the rears is affected by the RE-EQ. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience. That I like one mix or the other is beside the...

I am only turning off the RE-EQ, specifically the THX RE-EQ. I am not changing volumes, delays, or any of the other basic settings. The Surround is just as audible but is decidedly more effective when RE-EQ is off. That the surround is just as audible leads me to think that there is a...

I wonder if any of you have noticed a relationship between RE-EQ and the imaging/presence quality ( Perhaps effectiveness is a better word) of Surround effects. I happen to have an Onkyo 787, but I wanted to query the forum to see if any of you have found a similar relationship. I am sure...

Good thing none of us feel passionately about Film music huh... :) J

In three years you have listened to 29 hours of music?? do you own more than one Album? J

Maybe it does not belong on the list, ( who am I to tell anyone what belongs on their list) and the list does seem skewed to the "Orchestral" side of things the Matrix which you will not find yourself singing in the shower but is minimalist and supurb. J

I have kids and therefore a lot of Disney DVDs. My least favorite features are 1, Forced ads, (although my daughter kills me if I skip them by jumping tracks) 2, Disks that are not formatted to the correct geometry. In other words whatever aspect ratio is listed on the package should be...

Sounds like you got your $16 worth.

Thanks for the link Michael, The article confirmed what I have not been able to research myself. that, going forward, most movies will make more on the DVD release than on the original theatrical release. Gary

You wouldn't buy a DVD player that cheap but you would buy one that does not plug into your receiver? How much is the converter, better yet how much are two converters? Does the high priced DVD player you currently have have 5.1 outputs? you could skip your receivers DAC's alltogether. J

Is important to know who got to Concord, in 1775? or that Someone got to Concord in 1775. If I watch Pearl Harbor/Braveheart, I at least learn that there was such a thing and some of the issues surrounding it. If I am interested in the story maybe I will be lead to the history and I can...

Sony always loses these battles J

We are not the market. anyway there is a lotta money in those DVD's. It is also a different market. People buy for different reasons than they rent and the studios are nothing if not cautious share holder driven institutions that will exploit every avenue for revenue increases. They will...

Nick,

I like you Lee, I Agree with you and the premis of the test whole heartedly. As to cost, I agree that it is and should not be part of the test, However,do you think that there would be a test at all if cost were not a factor in the ultimate purchase decision? J

Am I wrong... Doesn't my Hughes HDTV box send out 1080i?

Video is upconverted inside your Digital TV now. up converting it in the DVD player means one less conversion?

I vote Jennifer Connely with the 22 Guage :b J

I thought I was reading about cable but suddenly most of the problems I have in adult life were resolved when I realized that I just suffer from "Confused Electrons" What I need now is a direct telemarketed product that will resolve confused electrons while assisting in weight loss. :D

Forgive my ignorance... What is a CCS? I want the De-interlace functionality of the s/f chip as my wife is a big Star Trek fan and the DVD's look terrible on our Samsung. The stars keep blinking and the hull of the ship is Jaggied all to hell. If the CCS is something I want than I...

Are there differences between the 62 and 82 other than DVD-A? And (this will get things moving) Why should I want DVD-A? J

Cambridge Sound Works. On Sale, the price/performance ratio is better than any other alternative I was able to find. A pair of M-80's will cost you 250-300 bucks they look and sound great. you could get a third M80 for your center channel or get a dedicated center channel like the MC500...

One issue with tilting will be dust? Another is the Wheels? I am actually a fan of tilting. I put all my speakers High on the wall to save on space and tilted them down to the center of the room.
