The Outlaw 990 is based on the Sherwood Newcastle P-965 preamp with a few added features like DVI switching and balanced analog pre-outs.

I assume you know that the Outlaw 990 and Newcastle P-965 share the same Etronics platform.

The Outlaw 990 has added DVI switching and balanced analog preouts. The Newcastle P-965 has a better...

Brett,

The purpose of a HTPC is to converge as many separate pieces of CE equipment as possible into a single case.

Only your imagination and/or your ability to assemble the components limit...

I'm waiting on this case to arrive so I can build another HTPC.

Ethereal Elite

How do you get SACD to play on a computer? I don't believe a CD-ROM drive and operating system can read the SACD file format.

DLPIIx overlay of DD 5.1 should derive the back center channel(s) from the L/R/ surround channels only.

Sid,

Did you burn-in the Ethereal XLR cable are was it the same as the Signal Cable out-of-the-box?

The speaker cables for the front cost me $57 for a 4 meter pair and $32 for a single 4m CC cable.

The surround cable pair are 10 meter and cost $119.

I’m using Ethereal Speaker cables for my home theater surround sound system and really like them. The cables are a perfect match for my ELAC front (L/R & C) speakers and LSi7 surround speakers.
...

Speakers and then cables.

Mark,

Did you get any Ethereal analog IC cables for testing?

I use my 50" DLP HDTV as a computer monitor. Like you I don't think the VGA (RGB) input is all that good for the desktop.

My DLP TV is very sharp using DVI output from my graphics card. As an...

Mark,

“Veteran” is such a nice word for “old”. :D

I don’t know how limited the cable swap program is, but it seems that Brent is offering any and all cables in the Ethereal Elite line for...

I know...she is still complaining today. :D

That IS what she gets for talking me into trying new cables.

Mark,

Yes it is cool. I got in the hobby in 1957 with my first stereo system.

I noticed that the Ethereal engineer is now reading the forum and should be contacting you soon. If not within a...

Dorokusai,

I just spoke with an engineer from Ethereal Home Theater and mentioned the Polk cable swap program and he would like to donate some Ethereal Elite cables.

I’ve replaced my IXOS IC...

Toxis,

I'm in the process of replacing my Monster cables with Ethereal cables that are well made and cost much less than Monster.

Wrong! 1080i is the same as 540p which is less vertical resolution than 720p. Plus no rear projection TV can resolve 1920 horz lines. Most are around 1200 lines so you have 1200x540p on a so called...

You could use an A/B switch box from Radio Shack. A manual switch box cost ~$15 and a remote controlled switch box for ~$40.

Check out the Ethereal Cable line. Excellent quality without breaking the bank.

Courtney,

I ran a full set of LSi speakers with a Sherwood Newcastle.

The Newcastle R-965 receiver is outstanding for music (and home theater) and easily drives the 4-ohm LSi speakers. The...
