    Well, it's not often that we see someone throw out the word retarded these days. Good luck with that.

    Monster Cable Sues Fanny Wang Over Headphones

    Here's a novel idea Monster, why not focus on producing products that people want, at prices they can afford, with the quality they expect - and do it better than the competition? Personally I don't see much similarity here, especially when you take into account that every headphone/earbud...

    Enter to Win: Wireless Subwoofer from Aperion Audio!

    How important is it to you to match the look of the surround sound speakers with the front speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 system? 1. Not important. Sound is what matters. 2. Not important. My surround speakers are on the other side of the room so it doesn’t really matter if they all match or...

    QUICK!! 2 days to decide!! (B&W / ORB)

    Oh, and the Orb subwoofer I've read lots of reviews about their own subwoofer over the last few years. They're all positive.

    QUICK!! 2 days to decide!! (B&W / ORB)

    My system sounds fine. I just know it could be better with a subwoofer that matched a bit better. I bought a Definitive Technology Supercube Reference to go with the system. The Orb satellites are rated down to 80hz, but the specs do say something about the ideal being 120hz. In my old house...

    QUICK!! 2 days to decide!! (B&W / ORB)

    I have the Orb Mod 2 setup I had to go small because of the limited space. They're really good although they don't match up the best with my subwoofer. Their customer service is top notch too. Another telling thing about them is that you rarely see them up for sale as used. I'm about ready to...

    Studios Win First Round Against RealDVD Backup Software

    Another poor move that creates an us against them mentality. I wish these media companies would get their act together and provide us with quality content on quality medium and at an affordable price. But no, that takes too much work.

    Sirius - XM: 10 Years Late and $3.4 Billion Short!

    I DO NOT wish to subsidize Howard Stern and his outlandish contract You absolutely did subsidize it. You subscribed to XM who had the cavalier attitude that they were the only game in town in the satellite radio market. Stern went to them first. They used that attitude of theirs to drag their...

    invisibleSHIELD Scratch-Proof Film for Gadgets Review

    It's an ok protector It does a nice job, but once it cures it's on there good, which is fine until you need to take it off to send an iPod in for servicing. It's very hard to peel off and regardless of what the manufacturer claims, it does leave adhesive residue that's hard to take off.

    Panasonic to Intro 150-inch Plasma at CES

    Gaming I imaging playing Call of Duty 4 would be an experience. No one could hide from you because even great distances on the map would be huge on this screen.

    Is HD DVD Trying to Lose?

    Really glad to see this thread I took audio and home theater way too seriously. I poured all my extra money into it. I did the constant upgrade thing because I wanted to, not because I had to. I bought into the various formats that vanished soon after they appeared. In trying to keep this short...

    Anyone familiar with both Gallo and Orb?

    We are moving to a new home in a few weeks. I need to give up my Polk system because it's too big. I'm interested in the A'diva ti and Orb's version of the same type of speaker. I've heard the A'diva's and liked what I hear, but the thought of getting twice as many Orbs for less money really...

    I bought a refurbished Marantz CD player. It was very cheap and in perfect condition. I had it for years without a problem. I finally gave it away when I no longer needed a CD player. I would order again.

    Blu Ray / HD DVD combo player and disc

    Way too early to tell I for one do not believe the hi-def formats will take off, but I'll wait and see. Hi-rez audio had the dual format players, but nothing was going to stop their demise.

    When will we start seeing universal HiDef players?

    Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath on a universal player. Besides, lets see if either format makes it to its 2nd or 3rd birthday.

    Education is the only defense against bad marketing - Warning: LONG POST

    Long, Long Response The problem with DVD-A and SACD is that these formats were hobbled from the start before they even hit the shelves. There are some who would argue that these formats are still viable and offer a wealth of discs to be enjoyed - maybe, but if so, it's for people with much...

    Format Wars: Feel the Angst

    been there done that I was too young to have been involved in the infamous Betamax fiasco. However, I did get suckered into DCC, DAT, Minidisc, DVD-A, and SACD. The last two were the last straw for me. The only thing I was smart enough not to get mixed up in was DIVX. Enough already! I'm...
