dts question

The differences are more subtle than in the past. DD has improved but dts is still superior with the noticable difference being somewhat deeper , tighter bass. The midrange is slightly cleaner but not dramatically so . However dts IS superior so if your system is capable of the extended bass response and the systems resolution is good then do it. Especially if you are a theatre nut , ......like me. The definitive dts movie is The Haunting by the way.

There are DTS music disc's also, I have a few and they sound pretty good.

I disagree with brainwater the ultimate DTS disc is Final Destination-II.

Yes, DTS is the bomb if you've got a fairly good system to start with. In a mediocre system it may not be noticable at all.

Personally I think I'd wait till your upgrading your preamp to worry about it. Make sure your DVD player has it too or "No Joy"

I think the best DTS disc is Attack of the Clones.

When it comes to ambient and in-your-face sound effects nothing quite beats a well engineered SCI FI flick.

Final destination sounds pretty good too. I managed to see that on my HT rig before i lost it.

once i get my HT back up i think i will have to go rent the Haunting.

Slappy may be correct. I forgot about Clones. Saw Final Destination 2 this weekend and we will have to agree to disagree . There is a couple of scenes in The Haunting that assuming your system is capable; will blow your mind. I stand by this selection as the most intense dts disc available. At least for a few select scenes.
