I spent some time auditioning (visditioning?) an n-vi on Saturday and was suitably impressed with the a/v side of things. The CD side of things was no more than competent, but coming from my CDS-II POV I guess this was to be expected.What did surprise...

Hello sharp eyes There are a few nice scalers out there from Faroudja, DVDO, Cinemateq, Lumagen, Crystalio, ect.But the finest digital picture processing I've seen up to now came from the very bulky top-of-the-line Denon DVD-Player. This was because...

As a total two-channel Luddite this is my first posting here. I find I'm spending nearly as much time watching the box as listening to music these days, so it's time to invest.At the moment I use a big flat-screen cathode-ray Sony, 100Hz, and that's...

I want a new TV to replace my 28" Sony Wega that is now 7 years old. It's got to be big (42"?) flat and thin. What do you recommend? Plasma? LCD? Is it time to look at HDTV? Most of my viewing is through a Sky+ box. Specific model recommendations ...

As I am researching home theatre options, the the n-Sats matched to an N-vi certainly looks well worth auditioning. However, the n-Subs pricing looks somewhat out of kilter with the rest of such a system. I am sure is a superb sub-woofer, but are...
