Rab here again. We love the new AVR3805 Denon Receiver. Troy and co will post a detailed reveiw but I was immediately taken with its appearence and facilities, somebody did say it looked like "an old Sony" which is not a bad thing but I think it looks classic Denon. Terrific remote although opinions divided on its looks but it is a two part touchscreen type that seems to be very responsive. Check out the info pages on the site.

The new Sharp XV200 projector is doing very well, running a DVI input it makes a terrific, smooth image. Some of us have a preference for the Marantz VP16 which we are still flogging at 7K as well.

Ive had the PMC OB1 in the reference room for the past week, god they are sweet thing when they are run in. I've been playing them with a Musical Fidelity Tri Vista amplifier and Moon Eclipse CD player hooked up with Nordost flatline. I think I am in love with the flatline cables, I dont mean to be perverse but when you climb up through the range of the cables one just exposes more and more of the music. If any of you are interested in having a go on these cables in our reference room then make an appointment with one of us. The demo is a real eye opener for cable cynics. Nordost have kindly provided us with an alloy hot box of cables to test out in this fashion.

Those of you out there that know CAV probably wont know about the reference room. It's on a separate premise and is strictly by invite only but it enables us to cycle through our finest equipment in an environment that enables a properly considered evaluation.
