The buttkicker does not spin.

I'm showing my age a bit here, but back in the day when we had that new-fangled Dolby Pro-Logic, the school-of-thought back then was that the center channel should provide more power than the other channels. All the receivers had about an extra 20 wpc on the center amp. I used external amps and...

Here's a spinoff Personally, I don't go to the movies often. In fact the only time I will go is when there is a movie that is a must-see, social necessity. I'm talking about those movies that absolutely everyone has seen and is talking about. Movies that permeate into just about every media...

I really like that idea. Maybe Costco will sell this so I can get the big economy pack.

My Sister-in-Law and her family recently went to a movie and found out afterwards that each person experienced each one of those examples from someone sitting behind them, including a man who snored through the movie and peridically waking up to yell at his kids to be quiet in the theater. The...

Hello everyone, I need some help. I wanted a 60gb iPod, but instead my wife mistakenly purchased a 2gb Nano. Worse, she got it engraved which according to Apple's website means they cannot be returned. Anyone tried to exchange an engraved iPod before?

If you can get them cheap enough CVs speakers can make great, sturdy speaker stands :)

I have a trusty old Technics DVD-A player that I've used for many years. I like it in every way, but it lacks progressive scan. I also have a cheap Samsung DVD player that I bought because it has slots for memory cards to view photos on. This player does have progressive scan. Both players are...

I think that's it in a nutshell. Of all the things that I think is wrong with movies and theaters these days the one that really ticks me off centers on people and their manners. I could go on and on as to the reasons for this development, but I'll restrain myself.

It's too expensive! My family of 3 can go to a matinee to get the cheapest seats and still pay more than buying the DVD the first week it comes out. For the price of the DVD we get to avoid parking, waiting in line, sitting in broken and dirty seats, crappy sound and/or picture, people talking...

I'm not a religious person, but when I think of all the amazing complexities in our world and what we know of the universe it seems improbable that all of this "just happened." But then when I think of some sort of God being responsible for it all, then it just really falls apart for me since...

My niece will be getting an iPod for Christmas. She was born with a birth defect and only has one fully developed ear. She cannot hear out of the other. So I'm thinking that only using one of the iPod's earbuds will be less than ideal due to the stereo signal. I really think she needs to get a...

In my childhood I got into toy trains when I was a kid. My dad had an old Lionel "O" scale set that was piled in a box, but I couldn't play with. Eventually they bought me a pretty decent "HO" set. I loved that thing. I always played with it and saved my money up to buy more trains, track...

Look at the manual carefully. I think you'll see somewhere that the amp's power rating should not exceed 50 watts or you risk damage to the amp. I had these things in the past and used with a very powerful spare amp. These things ruined the amp in a year.

Well...they sponsor the 24 car, so they can't be all that bad.

T2T are you my long-lost brother? My mom dictated how I was going to spend my money from an early age. She told me what to buy and was always coming up with household "taxes" for my money. I learned early on how to "work the system" to make sure I took care of my needs. As for the boombox...

I think you're right t3. How about nice glossy color brochures conveniently placed at the entrance to the home for visitors? These brochures would list all equipment, specs, and an outline as to why each piece was painstakingly chosen. And how about just one neon sign pointing to the brochure...

There is a fundamental difference between men and women. Most women are happy with a medium-sized TV and will be until it dies. Men want 10ft screens with so much detail that you can map the aging process of every actor. Most women would be happy with a boombox that "does it all." Men...

I was watching O Brother, Where Art Thou?, for about the 15th time on TV a few nights ago and got to thinking how much my taste in music was changed by that movie. I absolutely love Coen brothers' films. I first saw this movie in the theater and found myself enjoying the music as much as the...

I had one several years back. I liked it at the time, but then sold it. These things are built like a tank. I'm not sure what a fair price would be.
