    Emotiva XPA-2 Two Channel Amplifier Review

    Um actually you may have it in reverse. That being the case, Parasound makes some great amps so if it were true, man that would be a heck of a bargain. Emotiva manufacturers amps for MANY prestigious brands. You would be surprised how small this industry really is. I note by your post...

    Star Trek XI Preview Clip

    What scares me is they didn't even get Kirks name right "James Siberious Kirk". Either he's got a lisp or someone didn't do their homework :p

    A Primer on Trademarks

    since Monster has gone on a campaign to sue anyone using the word "Monster" in their business, we decided it was time for a Primer on Trademarks. When they stop suing, we will stop writing about it so my advice is to get used to it :D

    Star Trek XI Preview Clip

    I saw this last night during commercials watching Sarah Conner Chronicles: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/large_trailer2.html I have a mixed reaction. It certainly doesn't have that Star Trek feel we all grew up with. It's like they are trying to do a reboot which I am...

    Audioholics 2008 SOTU Show Report Wrap Up

    Thanks Alex. As I kid, I grew up with modest means with 4 older brothers and parents that worked their fingers to the bone to provide for us. One thing my parents instilled on us was to NOT be wasteful, especially with food. I hate seeing perfectly good food thrown away when it could at least...

    Monster Mini Golf Not So Monstruous?

    We had a really nice time. Here is a pic of Bob & Tracy Mendonca (the owners of the New Port Richey Facility in Florida) along with their staff, myself and youngest daughter. Not once while I was playing golf or eating in our party room did I get a confused association about cables. Not...

    Audioholics 2008 SOTU Show Report Wrap Up

    We tried to collect credit card info on most people that got free registration, but many of them simply didn't reply after we registered them. It was very difficult getting people to register as it was. It really blew my mind when one attendee came up to me not realizing that the 2 days of...

    With the way things are going lately, I may ask for a Govt bailout for Audioholics :rolleyes: I suppose a small business like this isn't on their radar though :(

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    Ah I plugged it back in with no A/V cable just to see if it would power up. That explains why I not see 4 instead of 3 flashing red lights. So if you unplug your 360 from the PS does the PS turn orange? thanks for your help. You seem well versed in Xbox failures :D

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    My 360 does actually power up and even when its powered up the PS LED is orange. I believe there are now 4 Red LEDs on my 360 when its on. Originally it was 3 but now I see 4 flashing red.

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    No I didn't. Though it appears I may also have a Power Supply Issue. The LED is always Orange so I am not sure if my defective console is causing that or if the PS is simply bad. I figured let them fix my consule and worst case I can buy a new PS.

    Yamaha RX-V3900 Receiver First Look

    It's been extremely difficult acquiring review samples of the latest Yamaha gear. I am hoping to get a Z7 soon but not sure exactly when.

    Monster Cable Driving Mini Golf Place Out of Business?

    Hmm that could be toxic and I'd hate someone to get ill from the fumes. How about using a blender instead? :)

    Hot Dog Variations

    I've had hotdogs all across the country, NY, Oregon, Chicago, you name it. You have never had a hot dog until you have one in Colombia. Its about 2-3 times bigger than a Nathans Hot Dog, and they slice it in half and put it on top of what must be a dozen or so other things stuffed in the bun...

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    No my powerpack is standing upright outside my rack. XBOX 360 is built like a POS IMO. I examined the board layouts and components used and its embarrassing that a company would use so many poor cost techniques. The board layouts are terrible and they don't even optimize trace lengths and in...

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    I am not a hardcore gamer. What attacks me to XBOX 360 is online playing of Halo 3 and Star Trek Legacy and 1 or 2 other games. I hate the PS3 controller and OSD interface. Most of my gaming time is with my kids on our Wii which never fails us. I do enjoy killing some snotty teens on...

    My XBOX360 Broken Again!

    I seem to be the unfortunate one of the 33% of people whom own unreliable Xbox360's. I've sent mine in for repair last year because it would continually freeze up. Even after they repaired it, the image would float at times and then distort while only a power cycle would resolve it. Now its...
