    Manufacturer Review Response Form Letter

    I'll have to call into question your (ability/objectivity/manhood) on this one Tom! *laugh* Oh man, I haven't read anything that funny in a long time. I did laugh pretty hard at the podcast where you guys were making up pronunciations for manufacturers, however. It's too bad I won't be...

    Audioholics 9th Annual State of the CE Union Party Event

    I had a quick question about the auctions... Will there be minimum bids? I didn't know if these were products that were being donated and then we can get a good deal on them while the proceeds were donated or if the auctions will be above the normal price and we'll just be directly donating...

    Anyone in IA on the Forums?

    You've been tainted by texas beef... Poor boy! Iowa cows rule! Perhaps you should head over to the local Fareway store. They have pretty good beef. Don't go to HyVee or CubFoods... Anyway, I'd have my neighbor post, but you know him, too! Later!

    Anyone in IA on the Forums?

    Dude, there's plenty of good food in Iowa! Haven't you eaten any fresh corn yet this summer? And how about the beef... better than your feeble Texan cattle. *laugh* It's gotta be corn or corn fed beef! Yeah! One of these days we'll get over to Iowa City to hear some RBH speakers...

    Denon AVR-4308CI First Look

    http://www.jdrobbins.com/home_theater.htm You can see a list of my gear on that page. Anyway, I am pretty happy with the Infinity Kappa speakers. I have another pair on a Rotel Receiver and CD player for my 2 channel setup, and it sounds better for music than this setup does. I know it's...

    Denon AVR-4308CI First Look

    I have really been looking forward to this system. I have been drooling over the preliminary specs since the last CES. Looks pretty similar to the 3808ci with only a few extras. I currently own the Denon 3805, and it sounds pretty good with my HT setup. I'd really like the HDMI ports on...

    Win a FREE Home Ready Acoustics Room Treatment Package!

    Somehow, I haven't seen this company before. My wife and I were just considering some acoustical room treatments after the recent review of the Auralex products. We thought about trying to save some money and going the DIY route. It looks like this place has some "bags" that we could put our...

    Blockbuster Stores Told to Choose Blu-ray

    I personally own the Toshiba A2, and it is really pretty cheap these days. $299, and you get 5 free titles from Toshiba, and there are usually other free disc promotions going on at Best Buy or on Amazon. It's working great for me right now... Anyway, my opinion is there won't be a...

    Enter to Win: 50% off an Ultra U-22S from StudioTech!

    I currently do own some Audio Furniture, and it is the open rack style. I have 3 separate pieces that are customized from the Sanus Euro series. I like that the Sanus Euro has different shelf lengths and different post sizes so you can customize your furniture as needed. I wish that the units...

    Enter to Win: $100 off any Carada Projection Screen!

    I currently own the Panasonic PT-AE900U. It's a 720 projector and it's been working very well. I was halfway thinking about upgrading this fall or whenever panasonic comes out with their next 1080p consumer level projector, but I may just replace the bulb in mine and stick it out for another 2...

    Enter to Win: HDMI Fiber Optic Cable from DVIGear!

    I think that I would vote for item number 2... Relatively future proof... I have actually been halfway looking at using a 45 to 50 foot HDMI cable for a friend's projector setup, and my primary concern is to get one that I know I can use on a 1080p projector. I can probably use a shorter...

    What's the Matter with HDMI?

    Btw, the article mentions new HDMI cables coming out by BlueJeans last month or this month. Would that be the current BJC Series 2 cables mentioned on this page? http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/dvi/index.htm Just wondering. Thanks!

    What do you use to listen to your music? My Rotel / Infinity Kappa stereo only system... Do you have a portable music player? No If so, what is it, what music format does it accept, and where do you purchase your music? Still buying normal CDs, mostly from Best Buy, because it is...

    Enter to Win: $1000 off Axiom Order!

    Based on the criteria in the poll, I guess I fall into the expert category. I have been playing with home theater and audio for over 10 years and upgrading all my equipment on average every 2 years. I like the nice auto setup features that receivers provide these days, but I usually pull out...

    Enter to Win: SonicWave Speaker Interconnects from Impact Acoustics

    1. I sometimes use banana plugs, and sometimes just bare wire. I prefer the bananas for the back of the receiver so I don't have any stray wires shorting anything out. It's always hard to plug in 10 to 14 bare wires on the back of one of those things cause it's always mostly in place and you...

    Enter to Win: 10% off SVS Order!

    I'd say that the sub has to have a good punch to it. I don't like a weak bass sound. Of course, I don't want it to be too punchy, so it's making a big chuffing sound out of the ports. Maybe, a musical punch? Know what I mean? Anyway, I really do like it to be able to hit 20hz, too. A...

    Enter to Win: $200 off Impact Acoustics Order!

    I have attempted to build an HTPC already. I am a computer guy, and it just seemed like there were too many problems. It has been about a year since my last try, but the Sony DVR I bought seems to have very few problems in relation to all the problems I had with the HTPC. I tried using Windows...
