Isn't that why the manufacturer is prepared to pay to have your TV insured against failure? All they're asking, to cover their own backs, is that the buyer registers it so that it can be insured.

Seeing as this thread has been revived recently, and, even though the OP doesn't seem to care about the replies everyone has taken the time to contribute here (given that the OP hasn't replied since)... It has reminded me that I still need to complete and send in my own 5-year guarantee...

I have a Denon M39DAB in my bedroom and a Denon 5.1 AV set-up in my living room. The M38/39 are great units, but even they demonstrate very clearly the severe quality limitations of DAB radio (low bit-rate MP2) even against it's own FM tuner which sounds significantly better even if there are...

As far as I recall, the guy that designs and voices PMC speakers (is it Pete Thomas?) uses Van Damme cables, which are simple, inexpensive, good quality OFC - which cost as little as a couple of pounds per meter on Amazon - probably not very different to your Rega cables. I know of people with...

Seeing as this old thread has been revived... yes, I'm a fan too, but most of the true die-hard exposure fans are to be found on two other forums... and most of the reviews for exposure gear are found in another magazine (mentioned above). 'Tis true that exposure have never been very good at...

If you like Level 42's earlier stuff, prefer 'live' performance, and have some AV gear(!), I'd suggest their Live in Holland 2009 DVD is well worth a look - 148 minutes/19 tracks, v. good 16-bit/48khz sound, it seems to be mastered to BR standards and upscales to 1080p brilliantly. Seeing Mark...

Yeah, the PureAV PF30 was a gift - it originally sold for around the £200 mark, and when Belkin decided to discontinue them, I picked 2 up for £13 each! But that was about 2 years ago now... Personally, from an electrical/conditioning standpoint, I think the PF30 was one of the best all-round...

Have you considered the IXOS XHP420 http://www.ixos.co.uk/eu/ixos-products-detail.asp?PROID=593&Category=25? This IXOS is intended for flat panel TV's - it even comes with brackets to mount it on the wall behind the screen or the back of the screen itself. It gives you the protection you want...

Your signature is a great quote “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.”

Well, there is data published if you can be bothered googling for it, but I doubt that proves the point definitively - you can pick holes in any set of data. Personally, as with any purchase of this nature I rely on my eyes and ears, and a lot of this Quantum stuff does work... But ya see, I do...

I don't think he does say that he created or makes them - my reading of that full quote from his website is that he's buying them in to be able to offer them for sale and nothing more. The vendor is also saying that he doesn't understand how they work either, but in his opinion they do... and as...

I'm not trying to flame this, but how do you know? Have you tried this, or any other "Quantum" product?

Well, yes, it’s easy to mock, until you hear a product like this Audiocom modified OPPO BDP-95 which has a lot of this ByBee/Quantum “BS” in it (as you guys put it), and you realise just how boring the standard OPPO model can be by comparison...

Yes, it's funny how Bryston have spent their entire lives ridiculing the idea that any form of power conditioner could in any way make any difference whatsoever... until they want to market a range themselves (or rather to buy them in from a third party and put their own faceplate and price-tag...

DVDFab works great on Win 7 for both DVD and Blu-Ray.
