Googled it, found this list - don't know how accurate it is:

Re: PCM vs. HD audio codecs

RR -

In theory, there should be no difference between PCM and the DTHD or DTSMA. I wonder if the problem is the ProLogic processing that the receiver is doing? I'm not 100% but isn't ProLogic...

Re: Kal's Home Theater & Bar! (Lots 'o pics)

Pros -
Love the bar! Nicely integrated into the room - that's rarely the case. I'd be just as happy to sit there as to watch a movie.
-nice gear! Gotta love the Blu-Ray too. Bet it looks and sound...

Re: Turntable shopping.. any help?

Again, I hear you. I must admit to an abiding affection for my LP12 - It's been with me since I was 17, and has been lovingly maintained and upgraded every since, over the past 21 years. Aside from...

wes,

Sorry, you misread my response. The "<$400" and that entire post was for a record cleaning machine. I don't believe you can get a truly special vinyl experience for less than $1500 at the...

KennyT,

"Beside the fact that vinyl is stuck in the past and good SACD DSD are still better sound than vinyl. "

Re: First Blu-ray music album released!

I don't believe this is really the first Blu-Ray music album released. I think that Trent Reznor released a Nine Inch Nails instrumental album "Ghosts" on BRD. He released it as free lossy mp3, $5.00...

Unhappy Re: Pioneer Looks Toward LCD as Kuro Project Leads to Losses

Oh yeah, one more thing -

I was using this as an excuse to the wife as to why we had to buy that new Elite for the bedroom RIGHT NOW!

Re: Pioneer Looks Toward LCD as Kuro Project Leads to Losses

Maybe there's a bright side!

I dislike LCD's for my own viewing environment. I need good off-axis viewing and deep blacks with good shadow detail. I have a Pioneer plasma in the LR and was looking...

@Vinyl Rules! -

It works just fine with recordable Dual-layer DVD's. Never tried it w/ PAL formatted discs though. I would be surprised if it did not work, since Sony is (trying) to sell them in Europe. Why increase...

Re: Playstation 3 as Blu-Ray player.

If anyone hasn't done the 1.8 update, I HIGHLY recommend it. I too agree that the DVD playback previously was unacceptably soft. With the new update on my 50" Pioneer plasma (768p), it is comparable...
