Just went to watch a movie on netflix, and the message is that the server is down. Came as a major surprise when I just got power back on after 3 hours, and every other website worked.

Does anybody have good sources for finding dvd-a and dts cd's, maybe even sacd's? My searches online have resulted in a limited assortment of dvd-a's and only a couple of dts cd's. I do have an older dvd player that I know does sacd's, not sure if the ps3 does or not.

If I'm too old to ask this, at the ripe old age of 32, then, I'm doomed. I know most men over the age of 30 don't even want to talk about this, but... I will admit, it feels like I'm sitting on an egg, and it definately does not feel good. Already gone through prostatitus, and some wicked...

I was hired to provide sound reinforcement for a small town band at our fair, which the fair grounds are about a mile and a half out of town. I had my entire sound system set up because it was a very large venue, expecting loud music for over 4 acres of area. Then all of a sudden I get a call...

I recently purchased Resident Evil Extinction on dvd, played fine in my dvd player, but when I went to make a backup copy so the kids could watch it up in their bedroom, my dvd burner wouldn't even read the disk. So I looked it up on the internet, and found quite a few articles about it. It...

I watched this movie on DVD.. The sound was not too impressive in 2.0, the w channel imaging was horrible, I hope the sound would be better for those with surroundsound. The subspmonic effects were't that bad in 2.0 though, but otherwise, there was a lot of audio missing withouth at 5.1. As...

I found an interesting website with a room mode calculator that rather impressed me, I punched in my room dimensions and it even gives a graph of the room modes, which is nearly a perfect inverse of the paragraphic equilizer setup I'm using to compensate for the rooms acoustics based on rta...

First of all I would like to say sorry for my previous post in the DIY. I am new to this forum. But, I am rather irritated by the fact that there are so few people left that will pick up from the spirit of amateur radio and try to improve on what is already there. I've spent the last 18 years...

I signed up to this sight hoping I could ge good diy tips for building new speakers and have yet to be impressed, it seems to me a lot of people won't, or don't take the time to read the great articles on the main website, and I really don't care if I get banned or not, as long as a few people...

Does anybody remember the sound of the old fisher 3 way towers, I remember they used to sound pretty good even for being packaged in complete system packages. Well, I searched and searched and searched some more, and couldn't find anything other than the new Cerwin Vegas. So I went with...
