I have 4 degrees including a master's (only to use as a prefatory note to state that I have not just fallen off the turnip truck) and I find that the transfers, including Terminator 2 are fabulous. I'm not a 'film is a living grain' worshiper, and therefore I'm comletely content with the transfers that the haters hate.

Nice pics Factor, I just realized that we have the same receiver and I know that adding an Emo amp would do wonders to the SQ.

Wow, sounds like those degrees have paid off with your recent upgrades . And yeah, that's my opinion as well on T2. I couldn't understand the smack it got.

Oh yes I'll have to pick some good ones so the Emo can flex its muscles a little.

That looks great Factor Looks like the lower shelf was meant all along for and Emo Which Emo interconnects did you get. The X-Series RCA Cable or X-Series Digital/Coaxial Cable .

[TheFactor]

I pulled some old blues/jazz Cds out and this amp really brought them to life. I swear this emo is sounding better the more I listen to it "IT SOUNDED GOOD IN THE BEGINING" but better now Either its breaking in or im adjusting to it, very strange .
