I've seen a bunch of calibration DVDs out on the market, what would you guys recommend as your personal favorites, or those you've found to work the best?

    I prefer q-tips, material I know well, and my ears. The Avia disc Polk sells seems to be a big winner with the HT enthusiasts here....

    Cheers,

    I went with the Video Essentials setup DVD, and I really like it. You can get it at a great price at the web site below.

    Good luck,

    Russ, are you british? Not so much looking at the cheers thing, because I know a lot of American guys who say that, but I noticed you said 'fella' in another post, and I'm friends with a british guy who says that all the time. ;) Course, you do live in Tejas, so who knows, heh heh.

    I think I pretty much calibrated everything ok with my ears too, but I'm just wondering how much of a sonic benifit these things really offer. I was going to get one of those sound meters from Radio Shack too, suppose I should do that first, eh? :)

    Ya'll come back now, ya hear....

    Holy dog ****! Texas! Only steers and **** come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that about narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?

    Sir, No, Sir!

    Are you a peter puffer?

    Sir, No, Sir!

    ****! I bet you're the kind of guy who would **** a person in the **** and not even have the goddamn common courtsey to give him a reach around. I'll be watchin you.


    Couldn't resist.:)


    Peace Out~:D
