In reply to:

may i ask how on earth do u do the [in reply to:] stuff? I have used other kinds of forums that have a "quote" tab to hit to do that,



(quote) text (/quote) with these [ ] instead of )

If you just want horizontal lines, you can use [ /quote] all by itself.

Stone: I dare say that most people who purcahse audio equipment are not scientists or engineers and, most probably, know absolutely nothing about electronics.

They are easily lead to buy something that they don't need and, in a double blind test, could not tell the difference with.

Sorry, sad, but true.

They are marketing to a very uneducated public that doesn't know or understand the difference.

That's my point.

I would have to agree to route directly from you DVD to your TV, doesn't make sense to me to add more cables and connections if they are not needed.

Dad: I think that it is more profound than that. Why do video operations in your audio receiver IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?

Just doesn't make sense with all the excellent HDTVs out there!!!!!!

So you don't have to change 50 inputs on 50 devices? I really don't understand your militancy, especially if you're talking digital signal... which, granted, has extra bits on for DRM, etc. And what exactly makes you think that an Audio/Video receiver is not just that? Why is the processing in an Audio/Video receiver necessarily worse than that in a TV?
