Wow! I just read that Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith just broke the single day ticket sales record, topping $50 million on it's first day. It also went on to beat the opening weekend box record set by Spiderman. Looks like George can finally get his Rolex out of the shop. ;)

I'd like to find a (reasonably) high end boombox with a CD player, preferably one that will play MP3 discs. A USB or AUX input would be a nice bonus, too. No shelf systems need apply, and if the speakers detach, they must reattach securely. It must have the capability to run on batteries, as...

I'm really bummed at this! :( Hsu has abandoned the cylinder form they popularized and switched to making only powered box subs. The TN-1225 was discontinued last year, and they recently announced the TN-1220 has been axed, too. I don't know about you guys, but I'll never use a powered sub...

This is sure a bummer! Hsu apparently sells so many more box subs than tubes that they've discontinued the TN1220. Now all you can get is the powered box variety. I'll never buy a sub with an amp in the box for my main rig. Never. Guess if I ever need more than my pair of TN's, some...

At the risk of igniting another PC vs Mac debate, what's with the new Mini Mac? As a long time PC guy, I still have considered someday getting a cheap Mac for web surfing, email, etc. since the Mac OS's don't have the security holes that Windows does. I thought maybe a Mini Mac might fill the...

Congrats to Ethan on a very positive review of his ReatTraps on the Stereophile website! Looks like impressive measured performance. I'm anxious to try themself when I can afford it.

Man, that really annoys me. :mad: Has anyone seen the Caddy adds where they play Led Zeppelin's "Rock & Roll" while some goofy, euro-looking Caddy drives by? Blech! On one level I concede that they of course own their music and can do as they like- but iconic music that like is trivialized...

I've been reading lately about a new type of woven screen material that's supposedly "99% Acoustically Transparent," but how do they come up with that? ;) I wish I could recall the brand name, but it's supposed to overcome the screendooring you get with microperf screens, giving you a nice...

Ooops! Did I say "monster?" :p Do I owe M-Cable $.50 now? ;) Anyway, I see Peter has dropped the price on his ICEPower Digital Amps to only $499! That's a mere fraction of what he used to charge for 'em. It's hard to know what to think- in the past the guy's been *erratic* to put it...

Thankfully the Vikings have toppled the lowly Pack at Lambeau! :D My elation knows no bounds at seeing them actually win a playoff game! It's been years (sniff, sniff). Oh, the bitter pain of seeing Arizona crush my dreams last year- finally gone. Sure, the Vikes may crumble next week, or...

I see Gene mentioned it in another post, but I haven't heard of such a thing. Are they leapfrogging the '05 designation entirely? Any juicy gossip as to specs/features? I've long been anxious to see a replacement for the 4802R.

Brrr! Winter came late this year but man, now it's here with a vengeance! It's hovering around 0 degrees F right now. But there's one thing canl always warm you up- a nice batch of chili. :D Anyone else fight the cold by cooking up a batch o' red? It's funny how every male, even if they...

If so I'm curious to hear your opinions on them. How much do you use Trifield for music? How good to you think it is as a DAC? I'm mainly curious about the 561 & 568. I'd love to have a G68, but I'm afraid I'll need to wait on that til I win the Powerball. :(

This should be fun! :D What's the worst movie ever made in all human history? The film so cringingly awful that your skin crawls and your blood runs cold? The film so bad you'd consider poking your eyes out vs being forced to watch? My pick: Natural Born Killers. The stinker by which...

Yes! Finally, the Long Dark Night for SD ends! Perenial-senator Tom Daschel has finally thrown from his Ivory Tower. In the end he's finally been held accountable! :D Ostensibly, the loss ( the first in over 50 years!) of the Minority Leader would seem to be a loss for my small state. But...

A while back I posted a question as to whether or not a CD-R could possibly sound better than the original. I also have wondered if there's any truth to the longstanding belief that certain colors of CD-R sound better than other (black is usually held by the "gurus" to sound better than...

I'm jubilant about the World Series sweep. Not because I care who won- I certainly don't. I'm happy because now friggin' baseball is over for another year! That rocks! Now we can all focus on the things in life that really matter- like FOOTBALL! :D

Oh, woe is me! Can it be? A titanic talent like Ashley Simpson- lip synching her vocals? I'm devastated. What's left to believe in now? Which is the bigger joke- Simpson or SNL? Aside from being chronically un-funny for the last 10-12 years, they've had about the weakest musical...

What do you consider the most overrated DVD out there? Feel free to define "overrated" by any criteria you like (eg; could be a decent movie that's over hyped, a terrible movie that's widely acclaimed, or even a good movie that got terribly mishandled when the DVD was made). You can even list...
