black & white VHS movies on a HDTV?I'd think that the increased clarity would reveal distracting medium limiting artifacts
I thought you'd be expiramenting with different internal parts & circuit designs with your home stuff, or using rare tubes, or economicly inviable to produce.

***black & white VHS movies on a HDTV?My large set-up is not HDTV, it is a good projector with 100" screen. It has a doubler, but it is a 3:4 screen.
***I'd think that the increased clarity would reveal distracting medium limiting artifacts
Actually, I found opposite to be true. Old movies are EXTREMELY enjoyable on a large screen, even if the source is just a VHS. The picture is smooth and utterly involving. I remember the first such film on that large screen - Wages of Fear. I was afraid that I would not want to watch it that way. Turned out that it was just great.
As far as the HDTV set, since there is no HDTV material to watch, I use it for "normal" cable channels. It works exceedingly well. In addition to making the picture smooth and line-free, it also seems to improve the color purity a lot. I have never seen our cable channels that good before - I used to watch on a 27" Trinitron. The aspect ratio is a bit of a problem, but by now we are used to the cropped format. I found that none of several "stretch" modes is worth a penny. They are all awful. With the crop mode you lose some picture, but the net effect is good.
***I thought you'd be expiramenting with different internal parts & circuit designs with your home stuff, or using rare tubes, or economicly inviable to produce.
There is some of that going on, of course. But you still have to maintain that illusive work/home separation. So yes, there ARE those mean amps with unobtainable Russian tubes, but as much as we can, we put whatever is ivailable in production.
... do you personally own those aforementioned unobtainable Russian tubes in your home system?I completely understand that only a handful may exist that wouldn't sustain even a select edition run let alone a back-up bulb when the 1st burns out.
I still wonder why the high-end industry can't sustain a small factory of previously multi-million dollar production facilities. . The pre-existing unused equipment should be available at a relative song above scrap prices because the value has dropped significantly by a lack of mass market demand. . I must be missing something. . I'd think the more popular tube based equipment could afford to buy this stuff.
