I currently have two of the BDP-83 units and have been very happy with the audio and video performance of the players. I tried to do some searching but didn't have much luck, so I'm looking for some feedback on the relative merits of such a change (ie, BDP-83 to BDP-103). I use HDMI for audio...

I was looking for a laptop stand for use when I am sitting at my sofa, and I came across this product, which I thought would be of interest to the forum: http://www.airdesks.com/projectorstand.asp I have a setup that precludes a ceiling mount, since my ceiling is 11 feet high-this product...

I recently have been considering adding some of the excellent titles available in the Criterion Collection. However, there is a huge list on their web site, so I wanted to ask if anyone on the forum has any specific recommendations. Some of the US titles are familiar, e.g., the Hitchcock...

I am quickly outgrowing my existing audio rack and am considering the Middle Atlantic line to house my HT equipment. I would like to end up with a double cabinet that is wide and deep enough for me to place my VPI HW-19 Mk IV turntable on top but that does not exceed a reasonable height for...

I recently completed a purchase with Bluflick.com, a relatively new online vendor of BluRay movies for good prices. Unfortunately, the price was the only good thing about this transaction-my credit card was charged the day the order was placed but the item was not shipped until 8 days later...

I recently purchased the new JVC HD250 projector and noticed that the HDMI ports have a hex screw above the connector port. Does anyone know if this is for a special "locking" HDMI cable? There are several web pages that mention the presence of these connectors, but I am not sure which cables...

Well, my trusty (until now) Panny PT-AE900u projector died while I was on vacation-my daughter tells me it just stopped displaying, but I don't know anything else about the failure mode since I was not here to observe it myself. The lamp has a bit over 1200 hours on it, and when I looked at it...

I was going through my old software and found my copy of MacSpeakerz, which is a pretty good program but will only run on the old Mac OS (I think it works on OS9). IS anyone aware of a similar program that is compatible with OSX (especially Leopard or newer)? I know I can always fire up...

Listed on Audiogon: a pair each of Sen-Lab D28 tweeters and D54 midrange drivers. These are "first generation" Dynaudio drivers and are very rare-Sen-Lab was the original name of Dynaudio in the 1970s (I verified this with Dynaudio corporate offices a few years ago). Here are links to the...

I've been hearing rumors that the most recent reissue of DSOTM on vinyl is the best sounding vinyl remaster yet. This is the so-called 30th Anniversary edition, which was mastered by Acoustech, the mastering studio owned by Chad Kassem at Acoustic Sounds. This studio has turned out some vinyl...

One owner mint condition Panasonic DMP-BD55 Blu-Ray player, 100% smoke free environment, less than 50 hours of use (it's installed in my secondary home theater), all original accessories and original box included. I have had ZERO issues with this player-the only reason I am selling it is to...

I have over 30 dBx LPs for sale-I recently sold my dBx Model 21 decoder, so I don't have much use for these anymore. Some of the titles are pretty rare, even in the dBx world, where the pressing runs were significantly smaller than for standard LPs. All of the sealed titles are already listed...

I've got a few of my extra vinyl playback items listed on Audiogon: Rotel RQ-970BX phono preamp dBx Model 21 Disc/Tape Decover I've also got a small collection of dBx LPs to accompany the decoder-about a third are still sealed, and the remainder are mostly unplayed and in NM...

I thought I would give equal time to the old farts (like me) on the forum-my first CDs were all reissues. Mine was a 45 single of "Little Black Egg" by the Nightcrawlers, which quickly became the theme song of my grade school garage band (no need for a fuzz box-just turn the amp to 11).

I am planning to purchase a second BDP-83 and am trying to decide if I need to add the optional RS-232 port to the unit. I don't currently have a RS-232 controller, but I do have a Denon AVR-3808ci that also has a 232 port and may want to pursue future options that utilize these interfaces...
