    Toshiba 52RV530U

    What is the verdict on this model? I'm considering getting one based on the size/price factor and my impression that the Regza looks pretty good against other models in the store. I wasn't looking at the brightness, but rather the scaling and image artifacts and it's ability to create sharp...

    Outlaw Pre/Pro announcement.

    I read this on the Outlaw forum: "The Next Generation Outlaw Processor As many of you know, delays in the delivery of key DSP chips from Cirrus Logic have slowed development of products not only from the Outlaws, but also for many other companies as well. Because of this situation, we've...

    Fellas, I just ordered a new Corvette.

    Now I'm a bundle of nervous excitement. In about 6 weeks, I will take delivery of an '08 Corvette Coupe in silver w/gray leather. The only option I ordered was the automatic transmission. It is intended to be a nice cruiser, not a drag car or autocrosser, so sorry to the 6-speed aficionados...

    Which driver to replace an SVS PB12-Plus driver?

    I've been having problems with my PB12-Plus. The symptoms are 1) when it is turned on (green power light on back), there is little or no sound coming from the sub. Also, feeling the driver, little to no movement of the driver even at very high volumes. 2) After turning the main volume up...

    Re-clocking digital audio? Benefit or snakeoil???

    I had a dealer mention to me yesterday that re-clocking digital audio signals provides a huge improvement in SQ. Apparently, there is a fellow around here modding very high end CD players (Moon, etc) with external clocks. Anybody ever hear of this? Is this a valid way of improving the digital...

    Chance auditions?

    While walking around Chicago lately, I chanced into a couple random listening experiences, neither I felt worth a separate thread but I wanted to share anyway. The first was Vivid Loudspeakers designed by Laurence Dickie (of B&W Nautilus fame). I had the chance to listen to both the B1 and K1...

    Logitech Mediaboard for PS3

    Internet browsing on the PS3 can be a pain when using the game controllers or even the BD remote to navigate, especially to type messages. But one of the reasons I wanted the PS3 was to use it as a browser on my main display. Enter the Mediaboard...a full qwerty keyboard with integral mousepad...

    She loves my Dynaudio!!!

    So I went out today and bought a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's on a whim. I didn't mention it to my wife because I didn't even know I was going to do it. Anyway, she loves them...a lot. So much that she hasn't even asked what they cost. Talk about gettin' off the hook. Initial impressions...

    MB Quart car speakers.

    My wife is bugging me to replace the factory speakers in her car, an '06 Focus wagon. I want to get something better than the ubiquitous Sony or Pioneer. I've heard good things about MB Quart and found the 6x8 coaxial for $199/pr at www.subwoofersetc.com. I don't have a local place to...

    I am now a Paradigm owner.

    My local B&M store had a little sale and I picked up 3 Cinema 220 and a pair of Cinema 110 for my bedroom system. I'll run them with my old Denon AVR-686 and the Hsu STF-3. I've also got a 26" Samsung LCD and HD sat. in there and I'll likely move the Cambridge DVD player in there for movies...

    Disc or device.

    I trying to play my copy of Starship Troopers, but I'm confused about the way my system is acting. At first, this disc would not play anything through the center channel. Well, it used the center channel for the big studio intro, but not for the program material. The mains and surrounds all...

    Canadian Forum?

    One of the things I've noticed is that there are many challenges in this hobby unique to Canadians. For example, it's hard to find Canadian sources and pricing on many items. We are a much smaller market, yet much farther spread out that makes a lot of issues. Also, there are issues...

    George Duke video

    My wife was looking around online to find out about my used CD purchases, one of which was the Clarke/Duke Project, and she came across this Youtube video of George Duke singing Sweet Baby live. I like it and just thought I'd pass it along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLT-ItE20tU

    Algolith Flea - HDMI

    I'm tossing around options with this Algolith Flea. http://www.algolith.com/index.php?id=flea-hdmi I bought it to clean up terrible compression artifacts on my SD cable broadcasts and it does a great job. In the meantime, I've switched providers and find I don't really need the Flea, but I'm...

    This hobby can make a grown man cry.

    Like a lot of people, I had pretty awful SD images on my HDTV. I had the cable company out to try to fix it, to no avail. I researched the issue and found a product that I thought would help with the compression artifacts that caused the awful images, the Algolith Flea-HDMI. It's not cheap...
