    Audioholics Ultimate Subwoofer Shootout Planned

    What this article says to me is that certain manufacturers are used to expecting and getting safe, reliable review results. When that isn't guaranteed everything else becomes "problematic". This does a great deal to explain all the garbage that has been spewed in nearly every print periodical...

    Iron Man 2 Blu-ray Review

    Agreed the LFE is hot. Be careful with this one. The opening sequence bottomed my sub out and I know it would have happened again if I hadn't made changes.

    Dymo Rhino 5200 Backgrounder Label Maker First Look

    puzzled I'm sure these are great items and look like they'd be fun to play around with. I just can't see spending this kinda of money on something that a p-touch or something similar could do for far less money with respect to labeling cables, distribution boxes and other such tasks that might...

    A Dialogue on AV Receivers and Features

    Tough decisions I find this debate very intriguing and thought I'd share some of my discoveries when looking for a bang for the buck receiver that included pre-outs this year. Competing models across receiver brands were as different in room calibration quality, video processing quality...

    3D: The Most Predictable Flop in Recent History

    LOL, very, very true. 3D is such a gimmick. I look at it as no different than smell-a-vision. Humans have 3-D built into their brains. Even, for the dumbest, the brain is a more sophisticated component than any electronic device that man has ever made. So I'm pretty confident in saying we can...

    Vincent Audio Announces CD-S8 HDCD Player With Vacuum Tubes

    Nearly all esoteric gear is designed for someone whose buying things for reasons much different than my own. So in that regard Pyrrho you're right, but any company that's not making things for the reasons I'd buy them stands to make a lot less money. And so for the very reason that you said a...

    Hey Geico, Progressive STFU!

    Enough Already! We've all been flooded for a decade with this garbage. An Advertising budget estimated to be as much a BILLION dollars. I would sooner run over that f-ing lizard, beat the head of the cavemen with a club and punch Flo in her caked on face before I'd ever spend a dime on a policy...

    Wolfmother Cosmic Egg DRC

    I'd been listening rather casually to Wolmother's Cosmic Egg in my car. I brought it inside and got a serious case of listening fatigue yesterday after just one song, California Queen. It has an obvious lack of dynamic range. I decided to have a look at the waveform so I loaded it up and...

    Good Bye, Ronnie James Dio

    A tremendous loss among the metal community. His life will live on through his music.

    Xbox 360 Going on a Diet?

    Did you not realize that the 360 was rushed to market with known issues and they didn't bother to try and do anything about it for more than a year? The first three units had video processor failure due to overheating. The issue there was poor VPU heatsink or none at all on the earliest...

    Xbox 360 Going on a Diet?

    Yea sure why not, it'll only be the 6th 360 I'd have to purchase.

    Pioneer VSX-1020-K Receiver First Look

    Maybe someone can explain why receiver manufacturers are not putting 7.1 preouts on their models with the lower end amplifiers inside. You'd think that would be the logical course to take to circumvent a weakness in them. If a guy wants 7.1 preouts they have to spend the 200 dollars more for the...

    Monster Cable Drops Mini Golf Lawsuit and Offers Compromise

    I've read a good deal on all the back and forth of Monster Cables efforts to protect their trademarks. Just recently I watched the Noel Lee video which got me fired up and is the primary reason for my response here. Here are what I consider to be the main points to consider in this ongoing...

    Monster Cable Sues Baby Clothing Store MonsterRepublic.com

    Here's an interview he did a few years ago with Red Herring where he discusses that briefly. Q. Does the “Monster” brand sell the cables, or do the cables define the brand? A. I think the name helped the product in the early days because it was a memorable name. In those days, nobody used...

    Columbia House Blu-ray: Convenience or Curse?

    Funny looks as though both Wayde and the guy in the blog both missed the fine print on the front cover. It says 3 for 4.99 EACH. Which would be 15 bux not 5. This is exactly why people complain, because of confusing specials and requirements. I used to be a member of their CD and even Cassette...
