I put this in the search db and didn't come up with anything.

I wonder if it's worth the $5.40?
I could almost buy one audioquest banana plug for that quid.

It's only about 20sec long and looks pretty damn good...on a plasma anyway.

1st impressions

Better then the piano, not as good as the gold disc (seems to have more
panning effects than sparks). Listened to the sparks trailer at -20, -15 and -8,
definitly sounds better with more volume. The more I watched it the more I
like it. Great use of the surrounds, a bit of rumble just before the dts logo
shows up and a nice bass hit when the logo transions from an outline to a
solid color.

I made a disc with the 3 dts trailers back to back to compare, will view tonight.

Thanks for the observations Keith -- I will definitely fork up the dough and get it.
