    Upgraditis is itching

    Hey guys, I've got a case of the 'ol upgraditis. I love my 64" Samsung plasma but I've been wanting something bigger for a while now. Unfortunately you can't get plasma's anymore and I HATE motion blur and the "soap opera" effect of LCD blur solutions. I've had my eye on the Samsung...

    Different length XLR's

    Hey guys, We just moved and I decided to reorganize the components in my AV rack. I use to have my XMC1 directly above my XPA5 connected with 1.5ft XLR's. Well now I've got the XMC and XPA next to each other so the 1.5's won't reach anymore. I just bought a set of 3' XLR's but I think a...

    A Hard Day

    Cool Korean drama about a crooked cop that accidentally runs over a guy and tries to cover it up. There's some pretty decent comedy with him trying to get rid of the body. Then he gets a phone call from someone that says the saw the accident and wants to blackmail the cop. Then things really...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    I've only watched about an hour of the first episode, but so far this show........................................... SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the first hour NOTHING that happened on the screen was in the book. They changed pretty much everything and not for the better. The dialog has...

    Layout in new house

    Hey folks, We're moving into a new (to us) house in a few weeks and would like some advice on laying out the system. Our first house was new construction so I got to set up and pre-wire the system how I wanted it. With this one I'll have to see of I can use the crawl space to get to the areas...

    Working with a snake oil salesman

    So I work for a commercial printing company. We do labels for all kinds of products, medical devices, electronics, wine labels, etc. Yesterday I had a guy come in that needed an overlay for his Audimeter. We gave him a quote and he wants to buy. I checked out his website and he sells those...

    It follows

    Cool little horror flick with an interesting premise that isn't just your run of the mill scary movie. Girl gets transferred a curse from having sex with a guy and now she has to keep moving because the monster constantly follows you, (hence the title) and if it catches up to you it kills you...

    The One I Love

    I rented this one based on a Netflix recommendation I think. A couple with their marriage in trouble sees a therapist who tells them to visit a couples retreat that has had great success. The couple goes and things get weird. This movie is hard to describe without giving too much away...

    The Last Days on Mars

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1709143/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Decent little Sci-Fi/Horror pic I'd never heard of. The only actor of note in it was Live Schrieber. Cool flick where a research team on Mars is about to go home after a 6 month uneventful mission when things begin to go haywire. Worth a...

    Professional calibrator brought up a good point

    A while ago I had my Samsung plasma calibrated and as a side service the guy offered home theater calibration. I do my set-ups myself but it came with the cost of the TV calibration so I figured what the hell. When he saw my speaker distance settings he told me that it would be better to just...

    Babymetal is awesome!!!

    I stumbled across Babymetal a few months ago when their video for "Gimme Chocolate" came up on my Xbox feed one day. I watched the video and at first was like, "What the hell is this???" But then I really listened to it and grew to love their music. It's a strange type of music to be sure...

    Behringer EP4000 died........ AGAIN!!

    About a year and a half ago my EP4000 had accidentally been left on for a few days and blew up. I had replaced the fan so I didn't think they would repair it under warranty so I had it fixed at a local stereo repair shop. Cost about $200!!! Well the damn thing has blown up again. I'm not...

    I can't believe there isn't already a thread about this but Emotiva has finally started contacting people about buying the XMC-1. Looks like they are starting to ship today. Apparently there are some issues with the Dirac integration so right now it's shipping without this feature with a...

    RIP Tony Gwynn

    Very sad. I didn't even realize he was that sick. Always hoped the Padres would win the World Series while he was there. Played his whole career with the Pads. How many other athletes can say that? Met him a few times. He was a great guy. Y! SPORTS
