    Good receiver options for $300 or less

    at that pricepoint, you can get some excellent deals on previous year's receivers. You might lose a couple of bells and whistles with debatable value (especially HDMI and YPAO), but you would get better overall quality and basic power than buying the latest and more expensive. A solid receiver...

    Is HD DVD Trying to Lose?

    Ya just gotta love all the doomsayers here. Internet downloads, according to a report on this very website earlier this month, accounted for 15% of music sales. So three out of every twenty dollars the music industry makes comes from downloads. Here's the newsflash- seventeen out of every...

    Is HD DVD Trying to Lose?

    And the marketing genuises are all at Sony, where they assumed people would be stupid enough to pay 2x DVD prices for something they could watch on their PSPs ? or who couldn't even make BluRay players work with a standard CD ? I'm thinking your analysis is a little biased.

    A truly upgradeproof pre/pro or receiver...

    I can't speak for all all brands, but Denon and Yamaha pass the sound through on 5.1/7.1 inputs. There is no processing. Your approach is sound. Get a solid amp. You can use that piece forever, even if you pick a receiver somewhere down the road, you can still use the amp. I also...

    Harry Potter

    defintely too fast-paced. according to IMDB, this was the longest book, but the shortest movie (by some 15 minutes). maybe there's a director's cut coming that will explain things better. I'd say it was the second best of the group, to the first one. I have not read the books, but why...

    Soundquest

    that's a very good price for in-wall, but if you're actually going to make a 50 foot run (or two), you might start thinking about 12 gage. 30 or 40 feet should be no problem, but 50 feet is right in the fuzzy area where alot of previous posts look to go up a step.

    If Buckeye Nut can do it, so can I

    I am willing to take a beating for GB1 and the whole "no child left behind". This has undoubtedly created a much worse monster than the poor hurt feelings of some underachiever who had to repeat 7th grade. Parents who refuse to discipline their children and then sue schools that do are...

    If Buckeye Nut can do it, so can I

    Ironic, isn't it, that the largest debtor nation gives out more foreign aid than any other country in the world ? That we are still expected to take the lead in resolving any issues of significance ? That our stock market twitters and every place else cringes ? That someone like Connie Chung...

    Sky is looks like is pulses on new OPPO 981

    the e2000 uses 720P for its native format. At 1080i, you're scaling up from your DVD player and then back down in the TV. it's probably causing some issues. I use a Toshiba HD-A1 on my E2000 at 720P for the same reason.
