    $339.98 Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player Plus 10 FREE HD DVDs Now @ Amazon

    From what I understand We cannot get the HD sound over analog outputs. I think we need HDMI. This is from ZDnet: "While we have not reviewed the HD-A35, we have reviewed the similar step-down model, the HD-A30. The models are very similar, with the major difference being that the HD-A35 adds...

    :(

    Man it figures, the 10 free DVD's offer is no longer available. Now its just 5, plus the 2 in the box. You can however get it from $319 now @ Amazon (From Beach Camera). Edit: nevermind, it appears the offer is still valid.

    Best "bitrate" for audio quality ? (dloading from internet)

    The only problem is it appears I don't have much of a choice. I am at the mercy of what is available for download and everything from where I am downloading is MP3 format. Do you know of a good site that has a broad selection of songs available for download in these lossless formats??

    Best "bitrate" for audio quality ? (dloading from internet)

    Thanks for the info, but I am trying to do the opposite, I am not taking CD's and making MP3's with them, I downloading MP3's off the net and want to burn them onto custom CD's. Should I still download both EAC and LAME?

    Best "bitrate" for audio quality ? (dloading from internet)

    You say with a good encoder? What is the encoder? Is that the program used to burn the cd's? In my case Windows Media Player) If so, should I use something else. And when you say playback device, you just mean the particular cd player right?

    Best "bitrate" for audio quality ? (dloading from internet)

    So even if I dload 192 or even 320 bitrate MP3's, the sound quality when burned to CD's will be sub-par?

    Best "bitrate" for audio quality ? (dloading from internet)

    I just use Windows media player & thats what I planned to use to burn CD's. I am totally new to the whole MP3 and CD burning thing, so a lot of what you guys said has confused me. Also, someone else said told me traditional CD's are 128? I already downloaded a whole bunch of songs at the...

    yes you are right about the price. I read it wrong, sorry.

    Onix Rockets RS750

    Curtis... Bingo! Sorry I don't have a prize for you ;) Rockets are very highly regarded speakers but as Curtis pointed out its hard to sell just one. Couple that with the fact that someone would likely get a b-stocker set direct from Onix as opposed to buying used for about the same price...

    Freight cost to ship 65" CRT RPTV??

    Tony, that was door to door, actually the new set I am buying is coming from Ashburn VA which is about 5 hours from me. I think my best bet will be to rent a cargo van which is $170 for 2 days and just make a road trip on a Saturday to pick it up....

    HK AVR7000 sounds better than Parasound Amp...

    Yeah I checked and the one side was turned all the way up and the other was only up about 3/4 of the way. When i turned that one all the way up the sound was more balanced. i forgot when I first got the amp I was trying to manually level match as it appeared one speaker was putting out more than...

    HK AVR7000 sounds better than Parasound Amp...

    By the way, what are the gains on the back of my amp supposed to be set at? I have them about half way up. i remember when I tried them all the way up it didn't sound very good...but do most of you guys keep the gains on the amp all the way up?

    PSB Stratus silver i's vs. Rocket 750 sigs

    Thanks for the input guys, I am also eyeing up the Ascend CMT-340's now. I love the look of the PSB's and Rockets but it looks like the Ascends might be the best buy One of my consideration factors is that the TV I am getting (Mitsu WS-65813) is piano gloss black, so it would look real nice...

    I'm ready to upgrade is my TV worth this much?

    One thing I have been thinking the whole time with this situation and I am surprised no one else shares in my sentiment...is that Frank, you said you know these people?? Don't you feel the least bit bad about this? Obviously they are not aware of the real value of that set and you totally...

    Bigscreens affect 2-channel music listening?

    someone mentioned in another thread that after removing their big screen and replacing with projector setup it really improved 2-ch sound. Does having a "big black box" in between your speakers really mess up the sound? What about if you move the speaker out from the TV a little so that woofers...

    HK AVR7000 sounds better than Parasound Amp...

    Thanks for the offer sam, but I live on long Island in NY, so it would be a bit of trek to come all the way to texas :) I know my Parasound amp ultimately has more juice (it has 205 watts per channel) and has the ability to play louder before distorting or clipping, but the H/K will allow you...
