Advice on new tv
I agree with your views on the Digital artifacts first noted on DVD, of which I invested into at the same time as I was importing Laserdisc's from the USA. I bought into both but preferred LD, but then again ''for me personally'' it's not just the picture or sound, but also the collectability of the artwork which is very attractive........I am still purchasing Laserdisc's today. Laserdisc lives comfortably with my DVD / HD DVD & Blu-ray's their all great. Sincere Regards

Advice on new tv
Before purchasing a new TV it's always best to get the retailer to take the TV off the same video loop which feeds all the shops video, and ask them for a demo connected separately to a dvd/blu-ray player ect... As a number of members have said in so many words, the retailers do not really display the screens properly, which dosn't help! However with guys such as ourselves, we would look and ask, because of our pastime and the seeking of picture quality. A number of the population just want good price, looks, and to be happy with what they see with first impressions. I have a Pioneer Kuro PDP6090 for the main room and would be happy with an LED-LCD Samsung for the bedroom. Panasonic do have a rather large selection, of which as mentioned before can be very confusing indeed. :confused:

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
The following help provided by Robm321, Existentialism , is a stage of development at which an individual questions the very foundations of their life. I am fine with my foundations, of which can be a long story for many of us here. However where I am now is a side subject, of which others ''hopefully can relate to, to some degree'' To finish off a dream goal of having for the first time my HiFi & AV systemsetup correctly, of which has taken almost 12yrs by April of 2010. Things are coming together very slowly, but reading about others experiences has been very inspiring ''of which I deeply appreciate'' When I finally have my 2 AV Support cabinets made, then I will take a weeks annual leave to set all of this up. Thank you to this site ''in part'' in making this journey of mine more pleassurable. Kindest & Sincerest Regards all round. P.S. never underestimate what you write and in turn what others read.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
Just read the story and was moved by the content.....Good to reflect on and also to appreciate all that we have. Family that we do not choose......we need to work hard in keeping good communications with, and the friends we choose in life to always let them know how much they mean to us. I always tell my close friends to tell me how they feel, and not to hold back ''for fear of being misunderstood'' Guys' ''not all guys'' but a good number, hold back from telling their friends how much they are loved and appreciated over the years of thier lives, and only when they are close to death do they open up with feelings. This is how I see it.....by telling those that are close to you, how much they are loved....you could actually play a small part in saving them from deaths door, and in turn help them to smile a lot more when you are not with them, when living thier daily lives. We are all fragile ''no matter what some may think'' and we all have a need to be appreciated and understood........LIFE IS GOOD:D Appreciate what you have written friend. Kindest Regards

HD800 Impressions
I think a LARGE number of people just don't want the hassle with shipping, customs, charges and so on, with importing US equipment to the UK or europe. To be honest I can truly understand this, as this has personally cost me a great deal of money over the years. For Example' I imported a brand new, boxed sealed (a rare find) Pioneer Elite CLD-97 Laserdisc PLayer from a seller in the US, which took about 18mths from discussions to the item being in my hands. It cost me

Your reply is diplomatic......and I personally like this approach. I never even lisened to my HD800 before purchasing and have no problems at all, I look forward to matching them up with a suitable Amp as and when funds allow. Heaphones are subjective from one person to another.......
