Too bad the center is Silver and not Copper. Copper is much better and less oxidizable then silver. Also cheaper. The solid core is good, I only use House wire, white and black solid as my speaker wire. thousand fold better then the top end fiber wire and less than 20cents a foot.
I guess I will not see the difference until I get a high contrast, high resolution image system. With 1300:1 contrast, is it DLP?
I think I will wait for SED, looks like could be good.
Avoid the acetone nailpolish remover, not good for breathing. I recomend ethyl acetate, thats the good stuff.

Actually, silver is the best metal for use with Video and audio. It can get up to 99.999% oxygen free with silver plated copper braid. Also, all top cables ranging from the £100 up tend to go with solid copper core with silver plating, £150 up tend to have more silver. The best ones at £850 are solid silver throughout. This is because perfect surface silver minimises distortion and thick direct silver provides the best possible connection. Here's what the manufacturers say about their £850 AudioQuest YIQ5:
Quote:
YIQ-5 uses a Solid Silver (Perfect-Surface Silver) center conductor insulated with Hard-Cell Foam (HCF). Normal 1.25% silver-plate greatly improves high frequency performance for a fraction of the cost of solid silver. 2.5% and 6.1% silver conductors allow much higher performance. However, solid silver made using Perfect-Surface technology is the clear answer to ?How good can it get?? Nitrogen Injected HCF reduces distortion caused by the insulating material. The combination Conductive PVC and Silver-Plated braid shield provides 100% protection coverage and lower distortion. Silver-Plated RCA plugs are welded to YIQ-5 with 8,000 amps, commingling the molecules for an ideal connection.
The projector is a WXGA LCD projector. The high contrast ratio is excellent for an LCD projector and there are no rainbow effects with LCD as there is with DLP. DLP is great, but only if you get a 6 or 7 segment colour wheel spiining at least at 250X per second, otherwise rainbow affects are noticeable. I personally wouldve preferred the Optoma H56 which (apart from the amazing H76) is probably the best affordable home cinema projector. However, if you want the very best get a Marantz with the three seperate DLP Mustang chips and projection system. Contrast ratio is around 3000:1, 3 times more than a cinema, and the quality is superb, 67 Trillion colours opposed to a single DLP chips 16.7 million colours. Now thats a projector.
My friend has a CRT projector, very big and awkward and it took him about 6 months to get it set up just right, with the Progressive unit and Scaler he bought. He gets an amazing contrast ration of 15,000:1 at 700 Lumens. Pretty amazing ;-)

15000:1 that is amazing, I like the features of DLP but the rainbowing drives me nuts. Thanks for the info, I was looking at cheap DLP screens and not the higher end ones. By Better for Copper I meant the Conductivity is better, However you made me look up the new version of the CRC handbook. My chemistry from just a few years ago is out of date. Pure 99.999 silver has the lowest contact resistance and electrical conductivity is 6.17x10+7 where as good old copper is 5.8x10+7. So now I can see why they are using silver. But you must keep it away from Sulfur, as slight impurites of sulfur will drop it to less than copper (the old values I was thinking).

Yeah 15,000 to one is pretty amazing. There's always one thing to remember about contrast ratios though. 15,000:1 is the mazimum rating, the actualy contrast ratio will more than likely be around 12,000:1 during normal viewing, which is still bloody fantastic. My Panasonics is actually rated at 1100:1 when during normal viewing.
When have ruined poor praetors thread. I think we'll continue our Projector discussion down in the Displays section. I was interestingly reading about SED. Sounds expensive.....

Well that was why I created the off topic thread, but no one can constantly go off topic. Also I think many Nebies were afaid of being kicked for staying on topic.
I do find it very funny that a thread called Stupid post has so much good stuff on it. I think off topic discussions can be considered stupid posts, so they are perfectly on topic.
Prisoner reheats the left out soup for Sam with Microwave. Hope you feel better Soon.

Yeah, the thread has developed into a good discussion now. I hope we get loads of Newbies wanting information on Projectors and Plasmas cuz thats one of me specialties :-) :-)

*Sob* I was n hospital yesterday. Turns out I was feeling like crap from Sunday onwards for a reason.............I HAVE CHICKEN POX AGAIN!!!!!
I am covered from head to toe, all I want to do is cry :(
Their even in my lungs and tonsils.
I had them when I was 3yrs old but, my son has just got over them, so the Drs seem to think I may have run myself down looking after him, my daughter and hubby and that I was bound to get them again.
So I wont be online for awhile till I get over this, as slightest movement hurts.
Cyas all soon

I had been put in with the neighbours when I was kid to get it off them (by my parents).
Didn't work - hahaha
But when I was 18 I called round to see my parents & m' sister was there.
We all spoke for a while & had tea (like we do here in England - lol)...after about an hour n' a half my sis tells me she's got Chicken Pox !!
I went off my head saying you couldve let me , have the option to get the hell out of there like ;)
Anyway the long & short of it is... I caught it off my sister (bless her feckin' cotton socks , pmsl)
It was a blazing summer too , like 35 degrees outside.
Had them in my mouth , under my hair & very close to middle leg
AHH ! Chicken Pox , such good memories !: ]-~
[P.S. Did about 2 bottles of Calamine Lotion]
Get well soon Sam

Crazy, I had chicken pox for first time when I was in Grade 5, was not a pleasent at all. If you have kids Sam I am assuming your older, Do you have Shingles or chicken pox? Shingles are very painful, I sympathize with you. For get about the chicken soup, Prisoner gives you Morphine.

Oh Yes I can amagine for those of you that want to know about shingles (adult chicken pox) see:
http://www.skinsite.com/info_herpes_zoster.htm
I hope it is just mild chicken pox, and that you get better soon. In 5 years I may actually be able to prescibe you morphine. Prisoner ups the dosage.

Ya I know, I should have warned people. Sam I am not implying you look like that. Much better I am sure. but this does have info on how to decrease the ichyness and overthe counter treatments. Hope that helps a little Sam.

Ok you don`t have look at the pictures of the link I put up. But if you read the info it tells you. Chichen pox, is a variation of the herpes virus. There are a couple different strains. So Just like now with the chick flu scare there are two strains (H7 and H5). So it is possible to get chicken pox a couple times, once for each of the strains that exist in the world. However since the strains are very similar, you imune system will fight off the supsequent infections and you might not even know that you got a new strain. If you have a weaker imune system then it will be just like the first time as it ecaped through your defenses.
But Chicken pox is a herpes virus (major class) which means it can go latent into your DNA. So just like herpes can flare up due to stress. Later in life you can get it flaring up due to biochemical changes as age. Thus why women get it a little more frequenly as they go through Mentapause. Shingles is very painful and more server than just chicken pox.
Any quetions, on this I can feild. As this is closer to my actual degree.

No, My undergraduate degree is Biochemistry. I took physics courses for fun and almost got a minor in physics. I did the Biotechnology option at University of Waterloo, and loaded up my self with extra credits in most aspects of Science. Computers are my side line, I just play around.
I am currently at Unvisity of Toronto in Medical Biophysics. So I get tons of Medical info daily. I did think of doing a MD/Phd. But I am not that crazy. I think the PhD will be first, then job and maybe MD (Medical Doctor).
