I can relate to that story as well Gavin both in video and recently in audio when I replaced my aging Telefunken ECC 803S with a similar pair of virtually new tubes. It was like I had new amplifiers.
..I'm almost embarrassed to say...Ken reprimanded me for letting it go so long but I had well over 4000 hrs on the original bulb but believe it or not the picture was still relatively bright. Of course it's a lot like the frog in boiling water...you get so used to it you lose touch with how poor the picture actually is. With Ken's calibration eqpt and his magic touch the results are striking!
Thank you! We will see what he says on Friday...i have asked him to bring a long HDMI run to test the direct route...if it works, we will get a good quality white one and put it around the edges of the mouldings to hide it.
In my HT I'm currently running an Epson Pro Cinema 6010 that's being fed from an HDMI cable that was purchased 9 yrs ago. I have no idea what issue it is...HDMI 1.XX? I am planning to upgrade to the new Epson Pro Cinema 604UB that has "deep color" and is 4K compatible. Question: will my 9yr old HDMI cable support the new Epson 6040UB's features? Thanks guys!
ps...I should have pointed out that the HDMI cable I have, I'm stuck with...it's run in the ceiling and walls..
Scroll to the bottom of the page and take a look at that chart.
You could buy a long HDMI cable to replace it from amazon if you wanted to.
Something that's future proof if you ever decide to go 8K.
