It depends upon the quality of the video processing. Theoretically, progressive scan should result in a more stable image, as this mode creates the frames one-by-one, where interlaced scan (i) creates the frames in half-resolution segments. It used to be you could really tell the difference, but with newer processors it's not as noticeable. Sometimes

As far as I've been informed, B&O have exclusive rights to acoustic lens technology.

In full resolution, Blu-ray has greater picture information than what AppleTV is presently capable of, the latter tops at 720p/1080iHD, while BD tops at 1080p. In addition, the increased storage capacity of BD makes it possible to include various sound formats, including full-resolution multi-channel audio. AppleTV offers 5.1 channel Dolby-Digital,

moxxey: tIRED: The BM5 (which has these connections) look exacly like a BM1 and does need to be in a cabinet. Pardon? I have a Mac Mini from 2005 which is about 20cm-ish wide. It is very capable of spooling audio and non-HD video. If in 2009 - when the BM5 is due for release - B&O are still producing a computer the size of an old 1990's desktop

I don't think this is an either/or situation. I have over a thousand CDs that have been ripped in lossless to a harddisk, most of these are in storage in the loft. A very few are in a cabinet, where my components are. I have a solution similar to that of the first poster, with 2-way control of the contents of my media server, and a connection to

Interesting question. The Beolab/Beomaster 5000, Beogram 4000 setup in my reading room is a source of endless joy. Nothing to complain about there. My Beosystem 6500/BeoVision 8 combo in the office is connected to a BeoLab 2000 in the kitchen. I love the way these units talk together, across a 1611. Nothing to complain about - and the fact that I can

Guess they're influenced by the timer malfunction that messed up the prize draw here! Must confess that I can't think of a single person in the known universe that I want to send a circle to ... Now, what if they had offered me the opportunity to send a gift of five downloadable, high-rez files of excellent music to someone ... with a description

I came across this, from Dave Wilson, one of the leading lights in passive speaker design. He has done extensive listening in the Musikverein and came to the conclusion that room reflections play an important part in the listening experience. Which is why he has redesigned his X-2 Alexandria statement speakers to provide enhancement of the room reflection

wonderfulelectric: huh? That is not boosting the signal, it is simply upsampling and has nothing to do with upping the db or amplitude. Upsampling is simply used to make the life of the D/A easier and also push as much of the high frequency noise away from the cds bandwidth thereby minimizing the effects of the digital filter that will be employed to

Inexcusably awful music, can't listen to it. Strange, they must be able to pick and choose from the world's leading artists, and we get this homemade electronica.
