Spent several days reading the HDMI specs and a couple books on digital video: It may be of some help to clearly list what level or features one really needs. Example: For a BD 2D, or any STB, HDMI 1.0 with Cat 1 cables fully meets the requirements. Deep color? Well a STB or BD...

What does it matter if you have Cat1 cables and are playing a 2D BD? Just because the SPEC allows 10Gb BW, does not mean the signal available has it. As far as I can tell, all 2D BD-s will play under the 1.0 standard. (1080p, 8 bit) Only the 1.4b for ARC and Ethernet to allow the TV to be a...

I have been through the sub placement game for many years. I have one simple effective solution. In my small movie room, I built the sub into the wall just above the TV. It is exactly the same distance from the L and R mains. This makes dealing with the phase and time offset much easier. The...

Missing features, extra features? Well, all I know is it is fast enough not to REALLY tick me off like my Pioneer and Panasonic. I know it makes older DVD's look considerably better. I am ecstatic about mine. Nit picking, the tiny flush eject button.

My 1200's have no handles, but then again, I don't need to carry them around. I would bet a pair ( or two pair) of fancy machined handles cost more than another pair of outputs. I would gladly take the outputs, more caps, hexfred rectifier or other features that improve the sound rather than...

Nice advertisement. Amps are about how they, come on wait for it, wait..... amplify. I know some very happy big Emo owners. How does this beast sound compared to the Gen 1? How indestructible? * Give us a hint on the measured power bandwidth? How about a waterfall plot of freq/power and THD...

How is their stability in HDMI switching? Can it switch without drama in under two seconds every time? Can they teach this to their new owner?

You might note, one of the products made by TI is a chip that filters noise and spikes on the incoming HDMI. It only works if you use it. I have had terrible issues with HDMI switching stability. I get a lot of "HDMI has issues" answers. Well, what I see is poor implementations by great amp...

I was very sad to have to send mine back. I bought it after having so many HDMI switching issues with the Emotivia 200. Well, the Outlaw switching was better, but not 100% reliable. Slow, flashing, sound in and out, and occasionally did not lock on. Once locked on, it worked perfectly. The Emo...

Only guarantee: Use cans. I just stop my serious movie watching by 9:00. If you don't live in a single-family home, you have no business with a sub in the first place. 60Hz max. It was not exactly high fidelity, but the old DBX 119, circa 1975, did what you want. I am sure there are plenty...

This looks like a SUPER deal for a good DAC and good preamp in one box. With all the HDMI and auto-eq problems I have been having, I'm right on the verge of moving me back to stereo. Great match for my HCA 750 I was using anyway. The OEM promises to post the details on their WEB this week. I...

Darn Kurt, correct again. Guess I need to order a 1000' of Belden. I have observed some packet loss in my network pulled with orange box store bulk cable. One length of "6e" did not have a core, so that is a hint. I went to shorten another pre-made 100-footer, and the pairs were not bonded...
