DVD / BluRay's & Hi-Fi / Home Theatre

Firstly here is a link to my page on the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) and how the radio series differs from the DVD versions you can buy.

In addition to owning a modest collection of DVD's and BluRays (>1000) I had the dilemma that most people face of how to get Hi-Fi out of a surround sound (Home Theatre) setup. This is often commented as being a mutually exclusive task in that surround sound systems rarely get close to relatively modest dedicated hi-fi when it comes to sound quality in stereo. Whilst this is true to a large extent it is also true that surround amps are getting much better at stereo. My personal system, I think, does a pretty good stab at achieving this nirvana of Hi-Fi in both camps but it didn't come cheap.

I rate Linn Hi-Fi quite highly and have duplicated some early reference material with permission and then subsequently added to it, see here Linn Hi-Fi.

There is also a specific page for the reference Linn LP12 turntable, LP12 FAQ.

And if you were wondering how much Linn kit costs then here are some pricelists overtime Linn Pricelists.

Here are some review sites who are worth a look www.dvdbeaver.com and dvdcompare.net. Unfortunately the Australian site www.michaeldvd.com.au is no longer around.

If you just want to look up a film then I suggest you try www.imdb.com
