    Best Movie sound effect

    I recommend The Haunting. There are always things going on all around you that add to the creepiness.

    How Much Did You Spend on Your 5.1 Speaker System?

    My HT system is not 5.1, it is 4.0. The speakers were $1800 and the receiver was $350.

    Would I need a new DVD player?

    I have a total of $800 in tax returns coming this year. Since I have seen some name-brand (Panasonic, Hitachi) 42" plasmas as low as $900, I may go ahead and pull the trigger on one. I had originally thought of getting a new upconverting DVD player with HDMI, but I have read a few opinions to...

    One brand system

    I think my Onkyo looks great with the Mirages, too.:) It is also as excellent-sounding a system as I am likely to hear for a good bit more than $900 MSRP, much less the $500 that I actually paid. This is why I think I shouldn't consider an upgrade until I can afford to pay a lot more. $3000 is a...

    One brand system

    I started the thread on Friday and got no responses. They all came over the weekend (I am only on the internet while "working".:D) The consensus is that it is a bad idea. My original thought was maximum compatability and cool looks (with the same logo on everything.) I guess the two-brand idea...

    Heath Ledger Ghoul Stands: Tragedy on DVD or Blu-ray

    My mom saw Brokeback Mountain and said it was very sad. I am not a fan of tearjerkers, so that is the only reason I haven't seen it.

    One brand system

    At this point, I have pretty well decided not to upgrade my 2.0 music system until I have saved up at least $3000, at which point I will completely replace it. The idea of a one brand system appeals to me. Speakers, of course, are the top priority. What companies that make good speakers also...

    Denon sound is too pitchy, fix?

    2 ohm stable is a rarity, is it not?

    to vinyl fans

    The first time I heard a CD player, I sold my turntable and my entire vinyl collection immediately. I used the money to buy my first CD player and start my CD collection. I have never looked back.

    Heath Ledger Ghoul Stands: Tragedy on DVD or Blu-ray

    I have always been amazed by how short the interval is between someone famous dying and a book being published about them. No doubt a book about Heath will be available within a week, if it is not already.

    No CD (DVD & BluRay only) for Neil Young's upcoming Archive series!

    "I hope Neil Young will remember a southern man don't need him around, anyhow.":)

    No CD (DVD & BluRay only) for Neil Young's upcoming Archive series!

    Enough so not to care about making money, apparently. The loss of potential revenue from CD buyers will be huge!

    Sound Absorbing Paint to improve sound?

    That has to be some of the most obvious snake oil since green magic markers. There is no possibility that paint could have enough mass to appreciably affect sound. Physics 101.
