I think any area that needs more skepticism is ourselves. As an aging audiophile I know that my ability to hear is not what it used to be and upon reflection even in my youth I should have been more skeptical about myself. Spending hundreds of hours with your head near a turbine engine and a...

Emo UMC-1 Video Review OK, I watched the review, yes it if free but I expect ads to be free? There was some testing done, good but little history. I was interested in the review and I saw it mentioned in my Audioholics email update, since I once owned, and returned a buggy UMC-1, it caught...

Unusual Well, the editorial doesn't make much sense. The good news it's not the usual RBH ad, oops review

Saw an article this morning on the PC Magazine site "Blu-Ray Leads Next Generation DVD Sales. Interesting statistics and observations

Expensive Compared to good old Home Depot wire and some Parts Express spade lugs or banana plugs.

If it lasts Yesterday after reading the first post, I jumped over to the Costco site to see if the Dell 24" LCD monitor price had changed from 799 (it hadn't). Right on the Costco home page was the big sale on Dell equipment, made me smile. I think what Dell is going to do temporailty is...

Middle Ground I agree that much of the commentary around these formats has been sugar coated however it doesn't necessarily stand to reason that an editorial on Audioholics has to take the opposite extreme. Yes it is an "editorial" but an editor should have caught the disconnect between...

Demand, Sony and so forth I think the PS3 will be very popular and drive demand for Blu Ray as well as computers with Blu Ray read and write capabilities. The $600? High sure, but as Rob stated the $400 for an Xbox 360 was considered absurd and they are still selling like hot cakes. I was glad...

Have to agree That is quite a savings for you. I suspect you won't really be able to tell any difference in 90-95% of listening or viewing, if you can ever really detect any difference. It really seems worth it to make the exchange at the Exchange

1394 I use a couple of these drives (earlier versions without 1 touch backup) and much prefer the Firewire models. In practice they are much faster transferring data.

You have received some good advice A kit is the way to go, unless you have some hands on experience with electronics and woodworking? Building speakers is not tough. Choosing drivers, designing and building crossover networks is a little more challenging and to have the loudspeaker sound real...

Blu-Ray I like it as a backup medium for my computers. In addition, it apparently will do well with movies?

Two sides to it In my life I have had two kinds of financial problems. I have had income problems and tax problems. Tax problems are much better. No one likes to pay taxes, but if my taxes allow me to live here, enjoy my family and life I am not too upset. Would I like to see changes...

Ok Even if in the future you want to use up to three binding posts, you can still have one board. It is very easy to just insert a connection into a properly designed board. Even if economics isn't an issue and the cost of additional components is a nit to you, design principles tell us that it...

Couple of Questions Why are you using three binding posts? If you have a moment please let me know. Also, why three separate mounting boards? All you really need is some perf board or even some plywood. Have you figured out the values for your components? All a crossover network does is...

My $0.02 worth Cap, HT is about to undergo some real changes, what with Blu-Ray, HDDVD, higher rez images, etc. Now, currrently these are probably out of your price range, no problem, prices have a way of falling, especially in electronics, and incomes have a way of rising if you are young and...

On the fence I don't see a need to buy either right away. I lean towards Blu-Ray, primarily because of its applicability for computers so I can leverage the investment in media and skill. I think the "winner" will wind up being very affordable as the media and electronics for a larger market...

May of 1977 Episode 4, A New Hope came out in May 1977

Yes it is..... I thought it was nearly 30 years ago that George gave us Starwars?

Two things See if you can get any word on the Sony Playstation 3. Also, any Blu-Ray, HD DVD news would be appreciated. Looking for those 1080p sources
