  2. A further update: I had occasion to play a DVD over the weekend. I've been building out my collection with Blu-ray movies, and HD downloads, so I rarely open a DVD anymore. I had a sudden desire to watch Iron Man (my inner child demanded it), so I popped that in the Oppo and pushed the go button. I have never seen upscaling that worked this well. Most players cause blurs, pixel flips, and other artifacts. In some cases the artifacts are so bad I'd not be surprised if Indiana Jones ran across the viewing room chased by a very large stone ball that was badly blurred followed by natives with pixellated faces. The Oppo did not cause problems on the journey from 480 to 1080, quite the opposite - some of the scenes appeared to be 4k. Others, those who had lower contrast, and those with washed out palettes, appeared to have a slight error to them. Overall the effect was very well done. And as I may have explained before, I was told by the previous owner to have the Darbee circuit join the party whilst leaving the settings at '0' assistance. Perhaps that does the trick. However it works, I'm happy this player has saved me from buying a Blu-ray replacement for my DVD.

  3. I was hoping one of the more frequent attendee's would chime in... Typically: Members will host "themed" meals on predetermined evenings at their cabins. Attendees typically "cabin hop" to spend time with each other - listening to the system or systems in their respective cabins. In past years - Bob would give a nice speech. There have been years when some dedicated members would put together kits - for attendee's to purchase and build. It's an amazing experience to build one of Bob's (or another members) design with them in the same room! The reservation process begins EARLY - starting now for next year. I don't know the specifics for 2021 - I believe this thread is to start the discussion.

  4. CS had a "sister site" that had much of the info you seek. Unfortunately it has been down for a while. The event takes place at Watershed Cabin in NC. The event is "organized" on this site... Here is a link to the you "attractions" in the area: https://www.watershedcabins.com/attractions.asp

  5. You are welcome. I placed the camera on a tripod and told people to use it and get pics but nobody did. I was hoping for more. But its all good.
