    Anyone own the JVC DVD-A Sample disc?

    At one of the many speaker auditions I've done this year, a JVC DVD-A sampler was used. Unfortunately I didn't grab the track list before I left and have been racking my brain to remember the name of the classical track included on the disc. So.. Does anyone own this disc? If so, would you...

    Some Sony ES series questions

    I'm currently the pround owner of a DA4ES and had an oportunity to look at/listen to the Onkyo SR-800, H/K AVR525, and Denon 3803 as well as the DA2ES. I ended up going with the 4ES because (IMHO) it offered the best features and sound quality. As for the 2ES vs. 4ES, it's pretty much...

    Purpose of Bose Acoustimass Module?

    Do I need a progressive scan DVD player with my TV?

    Thanks for the reply! I figured that the TV would be sufficient for now. Got a question though: Is there really any difference between, say, a $230 progressive scan Sony DVD player and once that costs $500+ made by someone else? Is the progressive scan 'algorithm' (chip, or whatever) better...

    I've been pondering the purchase of Sony's KV-32HS500 Wega HDTV-ready set and have heard conflicting reports about progressive scan. Do I need to buy a progressive scan DVD player in order to view movies @ 480p on the above set? One salesmen at the local electronics shop said yes, but my...
