Thanks Chris; I think I'm just gonna pickup the RG6 Quad Braided and replace the whole works, if I have to open up the walls, may as well do it all at once. thanks for the quick reply...It was so fast I'm still kicking myself for the bad choice :)

Developing a theater and I was just looking at the cable I pulled, it's RG59, I pulled it for a number of uses: in wall componant video, Cable and sub cable. Did I shoot myself in the foot? I'm going to guess it should be ok for the comp video, but did I shoot myself in the foot for cable and...

hi folks; guess my quesiton was too specific, has anyone had luck with any card getting good 720p or 1080I resolutions out of a video card? preferably on a LCD TV? thanks

Howdy folks; Anyone have good experience with nvidia cards from this era and getting decent output to a newer HDTV? I messed around last night for quite a while trying both the personal cinema WDM and standard drivers and can't seem to get any output beyond 640x480 or 800x600 confirgured as...

well thanks guys, thought I'd pop in and let you know I went with the 60VS810 and am extremely happy!. in low light you really see it's weakness of not great blacks but other than that it's a stunner! thanks for the comments!

Evening folks, I'm at a bit of an impass, I think I have a favorite here but would like some opinons see if there is anything I may not be considering. Between these 2 sets, does anyone have any major pro's or Con's either way if you take price and weight out of the equation? I have been...

well thanks for the input guys. I managed to find a decent deal and bit the bullet and went with Rotel 1068 and 1075 combo. and I have to be honest...I very glad I did, the cost was up there comapred to what I was considering but overall I'm very very happy with the purchase. I'm sure I'll be...

I don't see a lot of people talking about NAD in these forums. I found what appears to be a good deal on a T163 / T973 combo today, was about 35% off list for the pair. I listened to them and was pretty impressed with the sound and actually considering them. I wish I could demo more at home...

Well, no negative feedback on the approach has me thinking this might be a good way to go after all. I think I'll haul my speakers down to the shop that carries both Denon and Parasound and see how it sounds compared to the A23/A52/C2 combo I have already heard. and the denon alone. thanks guys!

Ahh thanks Tom. Do you find the amp off the pre outs make a noticable difference? I'm probably 70/30 HT to 2 Channel, but in all my demos, I sure notice a much bigger difference in sound quality with 2Ch on seperates than I do HT. Just swallowing 3K for a Pre/Pro before I even get an AMP has me...

you all have been a great source of info while I go through this upgrade :) Thanks! Alas I have another question, and I thought some opinions might help me decide. Due to budget, I'm still debating the reciever / seperates. in my auditioning, so far I think the clear winner is Parasound...

Does anyone know if this player will upconvert component also? I ran through the manual and it, appears that may be the case but I didn't find anything saying it did or didn't. Does anyone know?

Found a great price on a 2900 today and up here they list for a 1/3 more then the expected list of the 1910. it actually comes in cheaper than what I think I should be able to get a 1910 for. Looking at the spec and it seeming somewhat greek, I'm having trouble distingushing if this might be...

Thanks Mike, thats the style of answer I was hoping for, Based on the above I'm starting to consider the Denon a bit more. One more thought if anyone has a comment. Outlaw... For a decent price I could go with an outlaw setup. might be inclined to wait until their new stuff hits the...

Whoops, thanks for helping me see my error. I'm considering the 1067, the 1068 was a consideration but really is out of the price range.

Sadly no pre-outs on the Denon. if you don't mind, could you please elaborate as to why the rotel?

Hi folks; I have a small dilemma and opinions would be much appreciated. Fairly recently became interested in home theater, and in our new home I'm building a 14x30 room for a theater. Unfortunately I don't have the cash to buy what I really want for equipment for this room, but on my...

Great thank you, based on the review it appears good value and the price I have seen for it is under the numbers you listed. I guess it spawns a couple other questions. Any idea on what it takes to convert this to 110 from 220? the manual from rotel only states it's recommended to have the...

thanks, currently none listed on audiogone, in fact I can't find any used for sale anywhere. dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing :)

Hi Folks, I have found a 5 channel Rotel Amp used I have some interest in and during my scouring of the web it appears good value. I was hoping some folks could provide me a few opinions as to wether I should go down this road Opinions on the Rotel RB-985 MK2 THX 5 Channel Amp?What should I...

If you have til the end of the summer, might want to hang on a bit long, I was reading about the release of the DTR 10.5 and heard sometime April ( not looking accurate right now ;) ). and I would assume this proabbly means an upgrade to the DTC-9.4 also coming. I have heard the integra and was...

heh the Denon's on the list cause the reciever I'm upgrading is a 1601 :) But I really lke the idea of the Nettune on the Onkyo/Integra..... thats assuming it works fairly well :)

Hi everyone; In the process of upgrading all my HT gear from the mix matched junk I've collected over the years. I have made some choices and was hoping yoiur experience could help me decide the best combination. Sadly where I live it's very hard to do A/B comparisons with any array of...

Maybe I'll try that first Wayne, thanks. Jerome, I wish now I had built enclosures attached to the joist prior to the board going up. it is definatly the board thats causing the vibration, kind of a shame. I plan to make an attempt tomorrow with the stripping wayne mentioned and if that...

hi everyone; was going to just put in some braces between joists. but thought I'd see if anyone had any innovative ideas to stabilize in ceiling speakers. Just the base rattles the ceiling, as the builder mounted the speakers dead center between joist so they have a several inches all around...

Just yesterday I sat in a sound room with 2 Signature 800's powered by an Audio refinement stack (didn't pay attention to the models) HTM2 and an ASW 800, and even when I asked him to turn off the center and the Sub, I think it was as nice as I have ever heard. Ohh to win the lottery......

well, time has come and I have narrowed the list a bit further. Hopefully someone has experience and can answer for me these questions Integra 7.4 and 8.4 in spec I'm having a hard time finding much difference. Is it as simple as 10W per channel? Everything else looks the same aside from...

to be honest, there are 2 reasons :) 1: I'd really kinda like to have a flagship or near flagship reciever for a change :) 2: Most of the seperates I've been looking for ( Integra 9.4 pair, Anthem, outlaw, Aragon) are sooooo expensive. Do you feel that seeking seperates would be a better...

well have been putting cash aside for a while now to replace my Denon 1603 as my main amp. I have narrowed the field down to 3 so far, and kind of have an idea of my order of favorite based on features. I was hoping some of you kind folks could offer me some opinions on the following...

Thanks to all who replied. I have found Speakers, the Paradigm SA15R's. Guess I'll know for sure once I get them installed next week./ once again thanks :)
