    What's up with Accessories 4 less?

    They have always been a great factory authorized source for Marantz products, both new and refurbs. now, it seems all the Marantz stuff is either low or simply out of stock. Is sumpin' goin' on there between Marantz and them that we should know about? :confused: P.S... there still tons...

    Taco Bell: Dunno if it's a coincidence or what, but.

    ...for the first time since that e-coli thing came and went, I had three Taco Supremes, which I loved (note tense), Wednesday night. I woke up this morning with explosive diarrhea and I've been fellin' way funky all day. Oh well, another place I'll never eat again.

    Is this guy a class act or what?

    Yeah, we've (including me) had our fun, but this guy shows what real class is all about. http://www.comcast.net/tv/index.jsp?cat=TELEVISION&fn=/2007/02/20/591390.html&cvqh=itn_britney

    Just saw "The Fountain"

    All I can say is, well, WTF??? Don't waste your time or money. I've never seen such a pretentious, symbol laden, disjointed piece of garbage that went nowhere since I don't know when. I can't believe Hugh Jackman signed on to this... This movie could, single-handedly, destroy his...

    Caveman buys a HDTV - an adventure.

    First off, this all started when a VHS player, hooked up to an old Zenith 19” color TV, died in the guest room/library. I replaced it with a Toshiba VHS/DVD player that I picked up for $69. Well, the boys ever over and wife decided to watch a DVD up there. She was not happy so I went up there...

    Is my memory playing tricks on me?

    I could swear I read (somewhere) about some flat speaker wire (which I do know exists. I have some) but with an adhesive on one side so it can easily be attached to a surface, like a wall. So, is it real, andwho makes it and where can I get it, or is oldtimer's disease kicking in? thx, mw

    thanks for the input on my previous "21st Century" question. A few more questions.

    Again, thanks for all your inputs here. I've taken all your precious advice into consideration and, after reading all threads possible on this subject, I've made a temporary decision but have a few more questions. Oh, a little clarification. I'm replacing a third set (an old 19" CRT with...

    I'm about to jump into the new century. A few questions.

    My current "big screen" TV is a 32" Proscan CRT I picked up in early 2000. The most up-to-date video inputs it features is S-video. As it is, it does what it's supposed to do quite well with no problems. Now, I've been looking at these new fangled thin screen units and I see where big (or at...

    Any Smallville/Dc fans here?

    Any Smallville/DC Comics fans here? Quite an interesting season this seems. Got Clark out of The Phantom zone within the first few minutes of the opener and did away with Zod by the end of the first show. So much for last seasons main story arc. Oh, Brainiac is gone as well. So much...

    Questions on XM radio.

    As much as I've been trying to avoid it on principle (The main one is that I'm cheap!) but I've noticed that, over the past few weeks, the bar where the lovely Mrs W and I have dinner at least once a week has been playing just killer classic rock. Not one song every now and then, but virtually...

    The Illusionist.

    Just go see it. Trust me on this one. It's a sleeper. Great plot, great cinematography, great acting and a great ending. We went in thinking this was a different movie but, within 1/2 hour, we were glad it wasn't.

    Guerilla Internet Marketing

    I found this in a thread started by "elapsed" in AudioReview and it seems relevant here as well. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/62/4 From the looks of things here, it seems we may already be a winner. Check out the first posts by "incstlouis".

    Anyone else noticed these new sneaks for kids with a wheel on the heel?

    I've been seeing these for the past few weeks and, I gotta say, It's quite an innovation. But, what are your feelings on kids using them anywhere they please? I've seen kids zipping down the street and thru the malls, totally oblivious to anyone else in the path but here's what I saw...

    France is rotten to the core

    The Apple core, that is. Actually, I'm glad they initiated this. http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=GENERAL&fn=/2006/03/17/347884.html&cvqh=itn_ipod The main reason I went Sandisk for this is because I didn't want to be tied in to any one supplier, which is NOT an option for the...

    Well, it’s back to the 70’s for me.

    I’ve been lusting for some fitting bookshelves to mate with my Marantz 2270 in the man-cave for a while now. The Wharfedale 40’s can’t take the juice and the L-55s are too big. Both are temporarily retired for the time being, plus one of the 55s needs a new surround. I’ve been using a pair of...

    Does anybody here besides me watch "Smallville"?

    C'mon, I know you're out there... OK, the big thing this season is that someone buys the farm, and I'm not talking the Kent's place, either. They have been talking it up all season and it takes place this week. Who do you think it will be? I'll place my vote now and give my reasons. That...

    High Definition FM -

    ... One of my favorite stations is adopting this and I just heard about this? http://www.wbgo.org/ontheair/HD.asp Was I asleep or what? I see where it's available in car stereos and some "table" radio sets but 'm surprised I don't see any home audio receivers/tuners offering this. I...
