Rating: 4/5 from 2 reviews A KeeperThis unit is a keeper.BOTTOM-LINE: I believe all but the most serious "philes" would be completely satisfied with this unit (as I am) as long as you are using high quality cables along with it. SIGNIFICANT NOTES: One disadvantage of being an early adopter of HDTV is that you can never "go back." Once you've seen the advantages of HDTV and Progressive Scan components, anything else looks like you're viewing it through a plastic baggy. With the addition of Progressive Scan gaming components to my entertainment system, the 2 component video inputs on the back of my Toshiba were not enough... and moving that 150# box around to change out cables was out of the question... so were "Y" connectors if you're with me this far. I'm connecting Progressive Scan DVD, GameCube, and Xbox, to the Pelican System Selector Pro with middle of the road cabling (Monster Component Video 3/Monster Interlink 400 MkII), and find no loss or darkening/dampening of signal. The only noticeable degradation of signal I can see is with my DVD player in full STOP mode (not PAUSE)... in which case I can see faint, cyclical, wavy lines (like ripples on a pond) moving across the screen. These are not however noticeable while in PLAY or PAUSE. Using the cables that are included with the Pelican System Selector Pro, the aforementioned wavy lines were considerably more prominent. I thoroughly believe you "get what you pay for" when it comes to HDTV and high-end audio. I have little doubt that high-end switchers by Zektor and a few other manufacturers outperform the Pelican. But, for the price I was pleasantly surprised and will happily keep this unit. Also, for online gamers there really is not a better choice at this point in time, as others do not have the Ethernet connectivity that the Pelican includes. As a side note... I also purchased and tested a $30 unit made by Mad Catz. I returned it to the store for a full refund and I suspect it will find its right home in a landfill somewhere soon. | ||||||||||||||

I believe all but the most serious "philes" would be completely satisfied with this unit (as I am) as long as you are using high quality cables along with it.
SIGNIFICANT INFO:
I am not an audiophile or videophile... you won't find anything but vague technical information in this review. But, I didn't purchase the Pelican System Selector Pro just to organize my cables either.
