edesilva's Redbook Digital SystemI feel a bit like venting, and this seems like the appropriate place. I upgraded my CATV box to the 8300HD, which was a good move--has a digital out that will down mix to PCM and a digital video ou... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
edesilva's Redbook Digital SystemThe room is, as they say, not ideal. This is one side of a large loft room that is 22' x 40'. To the left of the stereo is the kitchen and a space for a dining room. The "living room" are... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
