    jasper you can take a look here (shameless plug): http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2052168 :) The laptop meets all your requirements except for the processor.

    How do I know which speaker wire is + and -?? Anyway to test it?

    Yep. 9V battery will work. Honestly though, in all practicality it makes zero difference to sound quality for HT application...movies do not preserve absolute phase in the soundtrack.

    Software upscaling?

    It depends on the level of videophile you are. There are a whole series of tests to determine the quality of your upscaling, but for general consumer use the advice you have is sound and solid.

    I Now finallly bought the sens HD800 and ordered the JH13 IEMs yesturday

    I haven't played with the final version of the JH13, but I did hear a beta version of these a while ago...Apopka (JH headquarters) is about an hour and a half from my office. I have heard several iterations of the Ultimate Ears models (up to 10) at the annual trade shows. If either factory is...

    I Now finallly bought the sens HD800 and ordered the JH13 IEMs yesturday

    The JH-13 are excellent cans; if you're considering custom fittings certainly look at Ultimate Ears UE11 Pro as well. At this point, the different sound qualities are almost like your preference in automobiles; do you prefer the driving style of a Mercedes, BMW, or Audi? All of the...

    I Now finallly bought the sens HD800 and ordered the JH13 IEMs yesturday

    This is incorrect, because all CD players, DACs have an output stage of specified impedance and output voltage. I assume you're basing this statement on reading various forums and never having actually played with a pair? Have you ever tried plugging a pair of reference-class Grados or...

    Ah, TungFree the piece fully named is California Audio Labs Alpha Tube DAC...quite the mouthful I know! modWright is an aftermarket specialist...no need to worry about him right now. 320 compression is fine for now...and I believe the headphones will make a bigger difference than the cans...

    Considering building home theater

    Rectangular is usually the best you can reasonably expect; just try to make it where the three measured dimensions are not too close to one another (i.e. 9 x 13 x 22 would be a good room, 10 x 10 x 10 would be the worst). The reason for this are that parallel walls create standing sound waves...

    Sprint and Verizon both have deductibles...I actually just found out the hard way my Sprint deductible went up to $100 because I have a smartphone. I'm canceling the policy now...I remember when it used to be $25...sigh.

    Considering building home theater

    IB subs are absolutely awesome; in an isolated room they're the way to go but if you're not careful they turn into a soundproofing nightmare :). Speaking of soundproofing, you should really get yourself some Acoustiblok (www.acoustiblok.com). When *properly* installed, there's nothing...

    ATAV&H/T - Build My Home Theater

    As far as receivers go, I wouldn't mess with anything that's not a Denon, Onkyo, or Integra...certainly in the $400-800 price range. I prefer the Denon CI (custom installation) series for it's extraordinary flexibility, but Onkyo's Integra line is very comparable. While I know Pioneer Elite has...

    Well if it's a sub you want, it's a sub you should get :). I'd recommend the SVS PC25-31...you can pick one up used to certainly fit in your budget (disclaimer: my company is a retailer for SVS). Are you opposed to purchasing used? I think speakers are one of the safest purchases to buy...

    Need quality headphones that'll still allow me to hear my surroundings

    The true high quality circumaural Sennheiser headphones are the 580, 600, 650, and 800. I have owned all of these, and I would say the 600's are probably the best for price/performance ratio. I wouldn't recommend any of the other Sennheisers, including the 555, 595 etc. Totally apples and...

    Also, with regards to having two dedicated personal computers; I think it depends on what extent your HTPC will function. If the HTPC is going to be on 24/7 for use with things like a Slingbox, TiVo on the PC, music server, etc...then I think you should absolutely have two separate rigs. A...

    ATAV&H/T - Build My Home Theater

    Awesome. There's something called WireMold they sell at Home Depot (in the electrical or low-voltage section)...probably won't cost more than $50 for the size of your room. It comes in white and almond colored....you run it right along your base or crown molding, and it hides wires and looks...

    ja1484, can we get a rough photo or drawing of the room layout? Anyway, to get you started, I'd wholeheartedly recommend picking up a 50" Pioneer KURO for 2K shipped or less, while you can still get them. The huge benefit of a bit of a larger screen is being able to use 1080p desktop...

    HD Tivo with cable card or Time Warner HDDVR?

    If you can afford it, go with the TiVo. Much more elegant solution. Quick note though, you will need two CableCards for every display / HD TiVo combination in the house. Also, you can still purchase TiVo For Life for a flat fee...which will end up saving you money ~4 years or so.

    Is there a HD modulator that also handles SD

    Bird Dad, if you're using OTA, then you can use a ChannelVision 16 channel active splitter to distribute the signal coming in off your roof / attic television antenna. This will distribute fine over the RG6 quad in your home, but every television is going to have to have an ATSC HDTV tuner. If...

    720P v.s. 1080i (p)

    My bad. I've always assumed the accepted 1080p definition to include a ~2M pixel specification. Literally speaking, you've hit the nail on the head.
