I have, back when the thread was originally posted. I'm not sure why you're pointing me there... It confirmes everything I've said here and includes alot of Williams marketing and comparing a non-optimized Ruby with bad uniformity against an optimized JVC/Meridian. You should really get a properly optimzed Ruby and put it side by side to a Meridian. Then decide.
For me this is an easy choice, while the Meridian may be good, the Ruby can be better (again, when optimized). If I thought the JVC/Meridian would be better, then I would have bought one and replaced the Ruby with it.
We'll have to wait and see what's really better. The new DPI I mentioned may be better (certainly brighter and better ansi CR, but less on/off CR), the new JVC which is coming next year may also be better (prototype was shown at Cedia). We'll have to wait and see.
In the end there will always be something better next year or the year after. But this is what the hobby is all about, getting the best out of it now and constantly upgrade to something better when possible. Sticking to the current equipment would be alot cheaper, but then again it would be no fun at all.
But of course it's always your decision what you like and what you buy. So if it rocks your world, feel free to buy whatever you like best. I've been called crazy before as well for buying Nordost cables.
