Sony 1271 CRT - please suggest how to improve picture (1 Viewer)

[FrankD]

I have the following video equipment and would appreciate any suggestions on how I can improve the picture along with level of improvement.

I have:
-Sony 1271 CRT front projector (has been fully calibrated - Grey scale etc.)
-Panasonic RP91 - interlaced component feeding Quadscan Elite.
-Quadscan Elite - using 5BNC breakout cable to feed Sony 1271. I am using resolution of 800x600, 16:9 input and output
-Cable from Quadscan to Sony is a computer grade 5 BNC breakout cable that cost approximately $40.00 US and runs 25 feet.
-Cable from Panasonic to Quadscan is a 3 feet component cable by Better Cables that cost approximately $100 US
-Screen is 16:9 1.3 gain Duality Cinema Vision ISF certified

I have set my Panasonic video control to "Fine" and found that it makes the picture look clearer.

I do see the 6.75 Mhz patter on VE (circle at bottom right corner) but it is really not all that clear.

Any suggestions would be appreciated - but please give me indication of improvement in picture.

Some ideas that I have are:
-Get filter modification done on my Quadscan Elite?% improvement?
-Better Scaler? % improvement?
-Improve cable from Quadscan Elite to Sony? % improvement?
-Get an HTPC or a more user ready solution like the PD-1000 by PS? % improvement?
-SDI type equipment ??? % improvement?

Regards
Frank

I would suggest a visit to the AVSForum CRT-area. You'll find the rest of the mad tweakers over there.
I'm guessing you already have a picture up there that would more than satisfy just about all of us here.
