:emoji_thumbsup: Wow so many fine choices listed and great suggestions from the members here. Out of the first 3 you listed I really like them all but would probably go with the Anthem. I myself recently replaced my receiver with a pre/pro and I ended up going with the Emotiva DMC-1 and I...

Try calling Direct TVs customer retention. I had been with Direct TV for a number of years and they gave me a pretty good price break to enable me to get a HD box.

DonnyD, At this time as in Today, I would go with Direct TV. My reason's for saying this is due to what Direct TV has already announced for the future. Dish has still not said anything about adding anymore HD, although at some point they will have too. Direct TV has more HD channels...

I have the S3000, I believe the S7000 was from the same model year. If you're talking about double layer movies, pretty much all of the new movie releases are double layer and fo me at least they play fine. If you're talking about double layer backup media DVD-R or DVD+R etc.... I have...

I have not had any issues with my Yamaha S2300, The new 2500 model is due out very soon and if they have built it right it might be a player worth a serious look, MSRP is suppose to be $749.

Here is a tidbit of info: www.thedigitalbits.com MY TWO CENTS - 1/7/05 - by Digital Bits editor Bill Hunt Well folks, this DVD format war is for real. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, Electronic Arts, Vivendi Universal Games, Sun Microsystems and Texas...

The 9500 sure looks like an impressive player. I just don't like the fact that it's lacking firewire for the price of admission. I would also like to see either a 2nd HDMI connection or a HDMI and DVI connection, that way you could run the DVI or HDMI to your TV and then use other HDMI like you...

I noticed in a post above it was mentioned that the Onkyo and Integra units share the same modules. This leaves me curious as to what differences the two actually have. Does the Integra unit have anything different, better DACs, XLR inputs etc... Is there a different price tag for the two? This...

Another fine option in my opinion is the Marantz MM-9000. The amp has 150W x 5CH. You can get them in your price range. I have been using this amp for about 1½ years now and feel it is a great value. I also think I remember someone from another forum who was looking to sell his, yeap I found the...

Gregg, Thanks for the info. I will get back to you soon on this.

I picked up a monster dvi cable on ebay for less than half of what they cost in the store. At the time I bought mine monster seemed to have the best build. I have noticed more and more companies starting to come out with these types of cables now. As for the monster dvi cable, I have no...

Gregg, I am in the Southern California area and I see you will be near me around January. I have a 34" HD JVC the 1500i model, have you ever done one of these sets? About how much does calibration on a regular style TV like mine cost? I use the DVI and Component inputs on my TV. I also...

Andre, About that iScan. Call Sean at AV123.com. I am pretty sure they are doing a wonderful shipping deal to Canada through the Holidays.

You could also try their URC Consumer Line

Sam, If you're looking for something "right now" there are also products like this Kenwood 7100. Panasonic and JVC I believe also have similar products. I would imagine this would fit into what ever space you have until you were ready to maybe upgrade to the EMO UL recommended by Chris.

I believe the new Yamaha 2500 has 3 component inputs. Rotel 1056 also has 3.

Here is a few: Sherwood Newcastle P-965 B&K Reference 50 Rotel RSP-1068 Integra DTC-9.4 Sherbourn PT-7000 NAD T163 What about running a Denon 3805 receiver so you could use the D-Link on your DVD player? I am sure the 3805 would make an excellent pre/pro as well.

I was looking at these in the 37"size. When I was snooping around looking for info on them it appears the newer models have a slightly better build to the LCD panels. The newer models have more adjustabilities, examples I found are in the color temp settings, they also had more stretch modes if...

I've always used Optical cables. I've been happy with the results so I have never bothered to try the Digital Coax to compare.

Craig, Sorry to hear this did not work out. I was excited when I heard you were joining the Rocket Team. I am not aware of anything behind the scenes that was going on but I am sure you made the right decision in the end. I also hope to still see you on the AV123 forum and see many more...

Doug, The 30" - 34" Direct View HDTV sets can do a wonderful job of displaying HD content. I am currently running a JVC 34" HDTV and so far I am really happy with it. I was space limited so only a couple different 34" TVs would fit in my cabinet. The only things I dislike about this style of...

Sam A, If you like the Mordaunt Short Speakers the website Accessories 4 Less carries some of their products. I have used these guys before to purchase some equipment and everything was first rate service.

Wow - I have never heard anyone ever say any Onix speaker looks cheap. Well I don't know what you're looking for. If you have seen an Onix speaker in person and you still feel that way, you're a very hard man to please. If you have not seen them in person I'd bet your mind would probably change...

I don't really have an answer with much help but.... I run a Yamaha DVD player (different model) and all three bars do show up. One of my good friends runs a 55" Mitsubishi HDTV and he also gets the three bars. It might be a good idea to check into your warrenty and possibly have the TV...

Sam A, Take a look at www.AV123.com, ELTs, Rockets and Refs all tend to pass the girlfriend/wife acceptance factor. They have many choices in both floorstanding and bookshelf speakers and the product lines cover many price points. Goodluck

This is a player I was looking forward to hearing about. I currently have a S2300 mark 1 and I have been very pleased with the unit overall. I bought it over a year ago for a very good price. My only two complaints with the unit are the layer change time and there is no power button on the...

I have been hearing a lot of great things about Anthem and Emotiva.

Really if the price difference has anything to do with the size of the box, maybe the Box Style PB1 is the best bet for a SVS sub. If your gonna have to spend that much more for the 20-39 PCi you might as well get the PC+ 25-31 so the price difference is in the sub not the size of the box it...

www.accessories4less.com has one SR8400 left for the price of $1099. I am not sure if that price is really good or not but I just thought I'd let you know. I have bought from these guys before with no problems at all. They also have a SR8200 for $999 and it says it has a $200 software...

I think the street price on the 56txi is close to the street price of the denon 3805 ($1,000 - $1,200) which is also a strong option. I also think the Sherwood Newcastle R-865 & R-965 are strong options at this price point. An Outlaw Audio seperate combo is also a great option.
