Blue Ray Disc failures reported

Rather than make any mistakes in the report, I will just link it here.

Not good news for Blue Ray, if it is true and is not corrected soon!

I am pretty sure that the speculation over at AVS was that some moisture got caught between the layers of protection and actual content on the disc causing the rot. Hopefully that is all it is and is an isolated production related error.

Either way I hope more information is released about this problem.

Yeah it would be a bad deal for Blue Ray Discs if it is not isolated to these titles only. I have a hard time believing that this is "FUD". Manufacturers screw up come on.

"Blu-ray" folks.

"Blu-ray" folks.

Oh Jeesh, here we go again!

The name Blu-ray is derived from the underlying technology, which utilizes a blue-violet laser to read and write data. The name is a combination of "Blue" (blue-violet laser) and "Ray" (optical ray). According to the Blu-ray Disc Association the spelling of "Blu-ray" is not a mistake, the character "e" was intentionally left out so the term could be registered as a trademark.

The correct full name is Blu-ray Disc, not Blu-ray Disk (incorrect spelling)
The correct shortened name is Blu-ray, not Blu-Ray (incorrect capitalization) or Blue-ray (incorrect spelling)
The correct abbreviation is BD, not BR or BRD (wrong abbreviation)


SO make sure you get it right, cause Sony is around the corner, waiting to sue!

Gosh, What's a Blu ray? Will it work with my Bose Cubes?!

I think Sony was pretty clever to name it Blu-ray, because the name is catchy. So people that don't know much about it (commonly misspelling the name, not to me mean, proving a point here) can relate to it. HD DVD has a problem in that its name sounds eriely like DVD. So when people relate new HD movie disc technology they think of Blu-ray, not so much HD DVD.

Sorry to post about "Blue-Ray", but it just drives me nuts. I had an instructor at school spell it wrong while lecturing, I told him "drop the 'E'".

OMG! Bose Cubes are awesome, they sound so much better than your system.

Finally, a forum member speaks the truth!

You don't truly understand audio unless you have a Bose system, all other systems pale in comparison.

My bose toaster and T-ball stand are way better than your cubes!

Bragger. I can only dream of being able to afford such audio luxury.

I remember that, I do envy you.

I've mentioned this in another thread......but I have two Acurus A250 amps....I was wondering if I could use those to biamp my two front Bose Cube speakers. There aren't any specs on the cubes........I know the Acurus is a step down from Bose.......but gosh if I could hook them up to my cubes I think my HT system would be the bomb!

Dude, that's like putting regular unleaded gas into a Ferrari. What an insult to the cubes.

Really!!! You may blow an amp when the cubes hit that 20Hz impedance dip.

Are they the dual cube in one speakers? If so, just mod them. You will need a pair of scissors to open the Bose speaker cabinet and you can just cut a hole in the cabinet and run some 10 gauge wire out each section, be sure the wire has room to breath, at least 1/2" around the wire in the cabinet of the Bose speaker. Good luck, that should really sound awesome (it would sound best of course with the Bose system).

Yeah, the bose are very hard to drive, I heard about a guy that had his connected to a pair of Halcro amps, and the amps just buckled under the strain of the Bose.

 

[davidtwotrees]

My dream is to own some Krell mono blocks. I would place one by each bose cube. Only then would I be able to say I was a true "audiophile".

I have Swiss cheese cubes that sound awesome!
They are full of ports all around.
