Timber is right...the Monitor's Native Resolution (recommended resolution) is very important with LCD. DVI is better than Analog for Video. I use DVI on my HD Receiver at home and it is noticeably better than component, which was too "red" for my liking. The difference is more obvious with...

I can see the appeal of GTA but unfortunately I could never get into it, not after having played Driver years ago which the wife and I really enjoyed. The rest of the Driver sequels were GTA rip offs which sucked until Driver 4 (Xbox version). Since the latest one, the focus is more on the...

I was really into PC Gaming... My current computer: AMD64 3500+ 1024 GB Dual Channel DDR400 Ram 2 x nVidia 6600 GT (SLI) Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mainboard Chaintech AV-710 (replaced my Audigy 2 Card with this one) I used to game Unreal Tournament (1999) and Strike Force (UT Mod) for years then...

Layer Cake is a very entertaining movie imo...one of the best films I've seen in a while.

Thanks for the replies. Auto Setup = Using the Receiver's DSP with supplied Mic for speaker channel gain setup. I spoke with Denon and they have had similar issues with the very subtle pops or cracks during playback of multiple digital sources and issues with inconsistent Auto Setup readings...

Questions for you chip: Why does the auto setup's speaker db settings always vary significantly for the Nansats yet the sub setting is always the same? nothing in my environment changes and it is always very quiet when I run the tests. Is this normal? How much difference in db per channel is...

I really enjoy Katie Meula's work as well. The funny thing is that my wife and I were exposed to it from my mother-in-law. I was surpirsed to notice that "Just Like Heaven" is, imho, better than the Cure's original.

Mirage's NANOSAT: http://miragespeakers.com/nano.shtml After narrowing down what type of sound my wife and I were looking for, we limited the scope of our final comparison to Mirage's OMNIPOLAR line of speakers. Traditional oriented speakers just didn't have the natural spatial attributes that...

Hey kay, Did you have a chance to install Foobar2000  and the Dolby Headphone wrapper? if so, what did you think of it?

Hey all, What distance does a Subwoofer have to be away from a CRT TV to avoid magnetic interference? What is the recommended distance from walls and furniture? How would you place an 8" down firing woofer with Elliptical Surround and a direct firing 10" Subwoofer in a 7.1 configuration? Thx.

Agreed with alphabet. I've been using Linux since '94 (good 'ol slackware days). With my VMWare Workstation, I run Windows XP as my host and CentOS and BackTrack for Linux Guest OS. I have the best of all worlds and I don't need to use a bootloader either. Everything is tightly integrated and...

If anyone is in need of a good quality *cheap* sound card then you should pickup a Chaintech AV-710 Sound Card. In Canada it costs around $30. The card is ideal for S/PDIF Optical Out to your Receiver and 2 Channel Analog as well (Pair of speakers or headphones). Here's some more info about...

After checking out the following demonstration of Dolby's Headphone Technology, I was amazed and had to have it for my PC. http://www.dolby.com/consumer/technology/headphone.html I actually found a free and flexible way to use this on my PC. Here's what you need to download / use: -...

Looks like I will have to wait for 3 months before I make my purchase. I am still bias to spatial sound (prefer Omnipolar), though I will check out everyone's suggestions when / where possible. Thanks again for the feedback all.

Thanks Kay, skinnyfat & Timber_MG ! Timber_MG, I listened to the Mirage Omnisats V2 for around an hour with my music and some great THX demos, etc. The product lives up to the hype, offering a very unique sound compared to direct firing speakers. I do see your point though with preferably...

Kay, So what speakers did you end up purchasing for your Denon AVR-2105? ( http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221262 ) Everyone, Given how the Omnipolar technology from Mirage is revolutionary, I auditioned a Mirage Omnisat v2 7.1 speaker configuration powered by a Yamaha...
