Iver- I haven't done the math yet, but it appears as if the group buy prices are only 12-15% off of RETAIL prices. This doesn't get the purchase as cheap as if I were to buy directly from a discount vendor, but when all is said and done, the shipping, handling and taxes would probably even the...

Ryan - check my thread The truth about internet e-tailing under the hardware/receivers forum. Based on the feedback I received, I am going to order the 4ES from either reliable or oade brothers. I have talked to both and they are courteous, but more importantly, authorized dealers.

Couldn't help but eavsdrop, but this subject explains my current situation. I thought I had convinced myself in buying the STRDA4ES, but now I too am wondering about the 45TX. Due to many reasons, I will most likely have to make this purchase solely on reputation. Does the 4ES even compare in...

Phil - To answer your question, that does not include shipping. I had figured approximately 300-500 at the most for shipping, still leaving me with an 'extra' 1500.00 in hand. I personally support the idea of using the expertise of professionals in B&M stores. The problem is, I have yet to...

Oh - in regards to the shipping question, I can buy the receiver, DVD player, and television through a group buy at another forum site and not pay any s&h or taxes. I would be on my own for speakers only, and I'm sure I could get a 7.1 system home for less tahn 500.00

John - thanks for the advice. I had talked myself into doing just that - using the S-video out. I guess my best option will be to locate the PC nearer to my TV and run a long VGA cable to the PC monitor in the back of my HT. My intention all along was to have the PC/hutch in the back of the HT...

Please forgive me if this is not the most appropriate forum for this topic, but I saw it had a large readership and I, and many others I'm sure, really need help. For the last two months, I have been very deliberately studying and shopping for a whole new HT system. I will wind up spending a...

Julius, thanks for the info. I discovered today that my Radeon video card also has s-video out. NEW Question: could I run (without fear of signal degradation), 3o feet of s-video cable? I have to figure all this out now as I am in the process of building my HT and am just about ready to insulate...

Kevin, As I understand it there are three types of DVI cables: DVI-I: can carry mixed (analog and digital) signals simultaneously. DVI-A: carries only analog signals DVI-D: carries only digital signals To see detailed info, visit http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/D...or_cables.html What...

I want to connect my PC to a TV (hasn't been bought yet). I have a DVI out on my video card, but DVI cables of any length (I need 30ft.) over 20' cost upwards of $200.00. If I instead, use the VGA input of the display, would the display be as good as with DVI? I would use an A/B switch to select...
