I have a new Oppo, so these have to go: 1. DVD-2910 in silver, (was $729 new), asking $150. Pre-HDMI 2. DVD-3910 in silver (was $1500 new), asking $300 This unit has HDMI and lots of bells & whistles. Both units are in pristine condition and work flawlessly, and both play all disc...

I know there are other geezers out there who remember this era. I was 20 years old on an aircraft carrier at sea when this thing hit in 1964, and a lot of this concert is pretty embarrassing as I watch it now, with the exception of James Brown and the Stones. The video quality , in B/W, is...

Five inches at the top of Donner. Time to dig out the K2 Apaches and wipe down the Yakima rack!:D

Is it just me, or is this latest reissue of the Beatles catalog (at over $300!:eek:) just a little overkill? As a geezer about the same age as them, I eagerly bought all their original vinyl, then sprung for the CDs as well as the various anthologies. Now there's another edition, supposedly...

Just caught the new Jeff Beck concert on Palladia last night. Guests included Imogen Heap (wowee), Joss Stone, and "another guy who knows his way around a Stratocaster" - Eric Clapton. I haven't paid much attention to Jeff since the '70s & '80s, but what a show. This guy definitely knows his...

:DI don't know about the rest of you guys, but one thing I'd pay to watch is a show where Billy Mays and "Vince" (from Shamwow) are put into a pit, each with a straight razor and a double-bitted axe. The winner (survivor) will get a life sentence watching Enzyte commercials. :mad::D

It's been several months since my last upgrade, so my mind is naturally dreaming of ways to spend more money on new HT stuff. I have been looking at the various servers on the market, since I'd like to do away with physical media like my CD changer. My only drawback is that I have a pretty...

As someone old enough to remember the 1951 original, I thought this remake rated a 4 on the zero to ten Suck-O-Meter. IMHO, it did have a few decent moments, but the overall plot was rather incomprehensible compared to the original. Keanu Reeves does his usual good job of looking totally...

Just received this today from Amazon. My take: If you're a rabid Neil Young fan, you'll like it. I thought it was one of his weakest performances. Nostalgic, pleasant enough, but mostly pretty boring, IMHO.

Although I'm too old to be a groupie, my nicely employed daughter bought tickets to a concert tonight in Murphys, CA. These guys are the main reason I got into this hobby in the early '70s, and have been in my top 5 favorites since then. Finally going to get me "The Steely Dan T-Shirt" :D

Just got this disc the other day ($18 at Costco), it's a 2-disc set, has Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio. First of all, the audio quality is excellent - as you'd expect with this codec. If you're a Gilmour/Pink Floyd fan, this is pretty good stuff, although I'm personally a little a little lukewarm on...

This is Vans first new material in 9 years. It's just Van doing what he does best, and it's a keeper if you're a fan. :cool:

I'd been sitting on the fence, waiting for the dust to settle on the BD vs HDDVD war. When it appeared that the tipping point had been reached, I found a Panny BD-10A at a killer price and went for it. I've watched about 8movies on it so far, and compared a few BDs with SD discs that I own...

I've been looking to finally jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon, now that there seems to be a winner in the war. I'm also excited about the new audio formats being released (Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio, etc.) that will finally give us uncompressed multi-channel audio in 7.1. Problem is, there...

Along with the snake-oil cables, Machina Dynamica wierdness, and other tweeks, I see an awful lot of vibration dampening products. Some of these things are relatively sane, like sobathane feet for turntables, etc., but some are , to me, entering into the wacko side. Does anyone out there have...

After many years collecting CDs, LPs, & DVDs, I decided I had to have a way organize this mess. I tried making Excel spreadsheets, but the sheer volume of data entry was too daunting. I found a set of applications called Readerware that let you scan each item with a bar-code scanner or...

Saturday night I watched Cat Power on Austin City Limits. This was my first glimpse of this singer and her group, and I was blown away. (Believe me, it's very hard to impress me these days:) ) She reminds me of early Ricky Lee Jones - but much cuter. Anyone else out there see this show?

Just got this DVD & CD set at Costco ($17). If you're a Neil Young fan, get this. It's in 24/96 Hi-Res stereo and sounds just great. This is just Neil, all by himself, playing to a Canadian crowd. This guy has always been the most unpretentious, un-self conscious artist around. I've been...

I've decided to clean out my excess components. All this gear is in very good cosmetic and working condition and include user manuals. All prices are negotiable 1. Sansui AU-9500 stereo integrated amp, $300. I'm the original owner, mint condition. 2. Carver TD-1700 3-head cassette...

I like the new format visually, but except for the first page of the reviews, every link is dead. Is there a fix coming?
