I wanted audiophile sound out of the film. It wasn't until later that I discovered what was lacking in 2-channel, 3-channel & 5.1 channel was the best of each. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a tube powered DAC for the 5.1 channels. So, I bought the best DAC I could which was an OU-oooo-CH such as it is!!!

... I still own a LD player. I still don't care for DVD video. It exhibits too many digital flaws to suit me. I was hoping the CAL CL-25 with the multi-parallelled processors would cure that but it looks as if the unit never came back on line.
& I hate theatre sound. It's really poor. Unbalanced, unequalized, dynamicly over-expanded beyond natural. No depth, no detail, no imaging, no soundsatging. Plus, the more expensive the theatre the worse the sound. Unfortunately, only the bad places get the good movies. Since, there are so few, I have to go to those cinemas in order to see them in all their original glory. We can't mimic film detail yet. Although, some HDTVs with internal line & column doublers are only 1 or 2 quatum levels down.
- progressive scan to the rescue? late 08:21:12 03/16/00 (3)
  hi Mart,
  been hearing good things about the new progressive scan players
  (my next door neighbor just got one ). Anyway, have a look see,
  i liked the one i saw.
  Did the theater, ( back when we were kids and Fred and barney lived next door ) you grew up in have the big old AL Voice of the Theater
  speakers?
  - what does that rectify, frame-drooping? Mart 09:16:59 03/16/00 (2)
    I hear progressive scan had notorious reliablity problems almost as bad as Sony Wegas.
    que: big old AL Voice of the Theater speakers?
    The one we had exhibited a banded FR from the speakers, but Proctor's Theatre was an acosuticly superior place. [BTW, that's the theatre Mariah Carey used for her Thanksgiving Special]
    - banded, schmanded, they sounded good late 09:50:38 03/16/00 (1)
      hi,
      i suspect such problems are temporary; once reliability is not an issue.... For me, it is yet another box, that i gotta get, someday, somehow.
      - oh no Mart 15:23:10 03/16/00 (0)
