Just wanted to say that I had Jim Doolittle over today to calibrate my new Sony KDS-60A2000 rear pj SXRD tv.
Jim had state of the art equipment and obviously knew how to use it. More info on that equipment can be found here:

I asked Jim to basically optimize the set in general, as well as really dial in the HD receiver and Oppo upsampling DVD player. Both are connected to the Sony via HDMI cables from Bluejeanscable.com
Well, I have to say that the picture that I get now from both sources is stunning!! Thumbs up Thumbs up
Phantom of the Opera happend to by on HBO HD during the calibration, and I watched the picture improve as Jim tweaked the picture by eye after doing the greyscale and color by using his expensive calibration gear.
Simply put, images have a film like quality and the color isn't too hot or vibrant. There is more detail and less ringing and shadowing around the images. I couldn't be happier with what I am seeing!
Jim was a pleasure to talk to, and was open to discuss whatever I threw at him. I appreciated his friendly, honest, and straight forward approach. It is clear that Jim has a passion for video and that this is more than a job. While this isn't a requirement to doing a good job, I find that it usally helps.
I am not entirely positive how much of the New England Jim covers, but if you are even remotely contemplating having your tv, plasma, or pj calibrated in this area, contact Jim ASAP and have him work his magic.
I'll post some pics soon, but I doubt my photography skills will match Jim's calibration skills.
Highly recommended! Not Worthy
