Yup, I used to buy at the front of the consumer curve, and figured out I was much happier given how long I own stuff if I just buy the oldest thing that fits my needs. You save enough to upgrade twice as often if you buy at the end of the curve rather than the beginning.

Aren't you the one that buried him?

Yup, obviously a tradeoff. I'd only do it in a dedicated theater. And I'd go with a projector.

it's not "need", it's just where you start seeing hte full benefit. So at that distance, you get the most "immersion". The closest to a theater experience. The goal is to have the TV take up more than you can see in your direct vision.

Well, for sports, it's true that bigger is better. And for movies. And tv. You want the biggest tv possible that doesn't look bad at your viewing distance.

I own 2 vizios, and am pleased as punch with them. I bought them as refurbs from woot, but if I were buying a new bigger tv, I'd be tempted to get whichever vizio they had I was looking for size wise at costco, and giving it a shot, at the very least.

It's been a long time since I've seen a new tv where the contrast and black levels were anything approaching unacceptable.

Beyond that, I'd rather deal with amazon for a return to any big box retailer...

I'd go lcd anymore. Weighs less, bigger screen. I'd be surprised if picture quality on either wasn't spectacular.

The pico definitely can be used with an airport express , you just have to pay someone more talented than me to replace the audio board inside the AEX with the pico boards, and put it in a different case, probably with an antenna. Otherwise, it can't, because the usb port on the AEX is for printers only.

congrats luis!

There isn't a way to go optical to usb without a computer, unfortunately. It's a usb host vs usb client issue. Just because a criminals and lawyers usually go hand in hand, a criminal can't get you out of a speeding ticket without a lawyer...

Sensaphonics are on sale for $500 right now...

My understanding is they'll kill you and not eat you, that we don't taste good to them.

Are you using it as a source, or plugging directly into the xlr outs?

the wadia is only useful with a dac. I think an appletv is a better choice than the wadia, personally.
