I don't normally repost from other forums, but I thought I'd copy a quick mini review I posted to AC an hour ago: After considerable hemming and hawing (as they say in these parts) I finally pulled the trigger on some Adapt corners for my music/HT room. I'm an inveterate cheapskate, and am...

Right now Visual Apex has a great deal on the Optoma HD72- a $300 rebate, with an extended warranty & lamp replacement deal. The price is good to start with. If you want in on it you'd better hurry; the deal expires on 9/14.

Just an informal poll- what size of screen do you use? What aspect ratio? How far back do you sit? And what PJ or resolution do you run? I'm simply curious. I have an 84" 16:9 screen about 12.5 feet from my viewing position, lit by an Optoma H31 @ 480P. SDE & RBE is no problem at all...

While neither format is off to a very big start, I'm already looking forward to getting a "universal" machine. Of course, as a long-time Denon fan I'm anxious for a Denon machine that will do DVD-A, SACD, Blu-Ray & HD-DVD. Upconversion to 720P/1080 would also be nice, while retaining all the...

This one's good thru the end of the month if purchased from an authorized online dealer, such as VisualApex. Note: VisualApex is selling the Panny for $1750, which is a damned good price before the rebate! I just bought an Optoma H31 not long ago, but I'm already thinking about upgrading to...

And I just got my system hooked up tonight!:o Yeah, yeah...how could a dyed-in-the-wool audiophool let his "precious" languish that long? Well, sixty hour work weeks combined with frequent trips back to Sioux Falls to pick up more stuff for starters. My rig is sounding pretty dreadful- I...

Finally! I decided to get with the 21st century. I bought a Panasonic DCM-LZ2 Lumix 5.0 Megapixel camera. It's not fancy but it does have a 6x optical zoom. Check this out: Aside from general messing around, it'll be nice for listing stuff on Agon or Ebay.

For anyone interested, I'm selling my MA Silver 7i's. They served me well for several years, but have been relegated to my 2nd system- and they're too good for that, it's a waste. They've been well taken care of in a nonsmoking, no pet home. And lately driven by tubes, if anyone cares.;)...

Is it just me or does anyone else get a tingle in their nether regions when they look at this? And, no, Chris or Mtrycrafts need not respond! They only date schoolmarms.;) :D

2,000. 2k. Woo hoo!:D

I think I'm finally gonna update/upgrade my HT system to a Denon AVR-3805. So I'm offering up my Denon AVR-3802 for sale. I think I have the OBM, and of course the remote. It's in very very nice shape, with nothing but a little dust and a few fingerprints. Even though it's a couple models...

After Phair's disastrous self titled 2003 album, I was a little leery of buying Somebody's Miracle. Having given it a chance, I just have to say- Liz, please ****ing stop making records. As much as it pains me to say it, I wish she'd just hang it up. You know those songs that are so bad they...

As much as I've enjoyed my little tubed amp, I'm thinking of selling the SP3 and moving on to something else. It sounds great and is absolutely breathtaking to look at, but I have a couple problems with it. Firstly, I use it in my bedroom system. I have a CD player, DVD player, Xbox, PSOne...

I just wanted to post this link to the American Red Cross for relief of those in The Big Easy. I think the Red Cross, along with the United Way, are the most effective agencies in big disasters like this. I just donated a hundred bucks. Many of us spend that on cables or a dinner date- you...

Are there any fans of integrated amps here? I must admit to a sneaking regard for them. No, I wouldn't want to build my main system around one, but I like them just the same. Probably my admiration for them dates back to the 80's. As a kid I lusted after a Carver 1.0t amp and C-1 preamp...

I just got my packages from UPS today, and all I can say is WOW! :eek: Unfortunately I gotta go to work in ten minutes, so I won't have time to hook 'em up til tonight, but the build quality is stunning, especially on the amp. The frickin' thing is tiny, but it weighs forty five pounds! The...

I see the wonderful Adire Rava sub has been replaced by the Rava Mk II. While I'm sure the new version is a nice sub, at $800 it's now twice the price of the classic Rava! :eek: Yikes, what a price hike! It's hard to blame them for raising the price- at $400 apeice they couldn't have been...

Pretty cool, huh? :D Ooops, then I shoulda stopped for the day. :o :p

Any headway on getting one to review? I'm very close to actually splurging on one myself, but I'm curious to see what the AH staff thinks of it. If I buy one before it gets reviewed, I'll have to post my opinions on it. :D

Okay, anyone care to enlighten us? I've posted this elsewhere, but I'm curious to see the responses here at AH. What are your personal "Top 20 Albums That You Should Have Yet Probably Don't"? They needn't be your twenty favorites, just good stuff that's perhaps a bit off the beaten path. I'm...
