I found a few operational hiccups with Audyssey editor App that Denon/Marantz claim to be working on for the next update. I will wait till that's released and will test and report back then.

Yamaha build quality on CX-A5200 is top notch and PEQ receiver editor is really useful. Great processor for $$$

Yea DD S3 was just so amazing. I was devastated when I heard Netflix pulled the plug. If you're limiting your speaker configuration to 11.2 or 7.1.4, I'd get the Yamaha CX-A5200. If you want 13.2 or 7.1.6, get the Marantz AV8805.

The $3k Marantz SR8012 AV receiver features 11 channels of processing and internal amplification. To sweeten the deal, Marantz recently released a firmware update for full IMAX Enhanced capability, which requires compatible display hardware and software to take advantage of ensuring an upgrade...

Ultra High Definition is finally starting to take hold in the market with equipment prices that are beginning to drop into the range for buyers of normal means with more HD content becoming available for everyone’s viewing enjoyment. But what does the new technology entail and how does one...

Dolby’s legacy has always been tied to technological advancements licensed and used by other hardware manufacturers — first in recording studio gear, then in movie theaters, and later in home entertainment products like AV receivers and blu-ray players. Now for the first time in Dolby’s 54-year...

While I love reviewing new floorstanding super towers from RBH Sound, I also recognize in-walls represent a big chunk of their Custom Integrator business. RBH has recently introduced their SI-615 in-ceiling speaker as a sonic match to their Signature Box speaker products. The SI-615 in-ceiling...

I'm so F'ing sick of the feminist agenda being interjected into many films and TV series today. Those that know me know that I'm socially liberal, fiscally conservative. Hollywood is out of control, even by my standards. Even my 11yo daughter recognizes how bad this is when we try to watch...

This is interesting:

With the recent departure from Blu-ray player manufacturers OPPO and Samsung, does this spell the end of the physical disc format? Samsung, one of the world’s most prominent electronics manufacturers, and leader in the development of Blu-ray, has announced it will no longer produce and...

I guess we will see gow the dust settles but those concept of Tardigrade Mushroom drive is as ridiculous as the transporter in JJ Trek that can go across the universe. Warp drive just isn't fast enough for the piss poor writing of this show or Into Lameness movie.

Considering that game predates STD and has similar elements, I disagree. Also interesting how quickly STD abandoned the whole tardigrade plot, coincidence? I think not.

No they ripped off another video game: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.plagiarismtoday.com/2018/09/11/understanding-the-star-trek-discovery-plagiarism-allegations/amp/

It's a fan service gimmick. Spock has been in plenty of Trek prior. The writers can't come up with new ideas so they rehash old characters and rip off video games.

Yes the writers of STD go out of their way to make political and social justice messages and that's what bugs me the most. Not to mention the show completely diverts from Canon when they actually advertised it wouldn't. Some of it is entertaining IF you can overlook all of this nonsense and...

The Orville has some good shows, especially the 2 most recent episodes with the Robots trying to destroy Earth. However, that show also goes into too much drama, has a few bad actors, and the first 2 episodes of Season 2 were so bad they were unwatchable. STD has some likeable elements such as...

Of course we want social justice and Star Trek as always brought these themes in prior shows based on current events. However, STD does it differently. They do it at the expense of targeting most of the white male characters on the show as weak, incompetent or arrogant. They especially made the...

I never had a problem with a woman in charge in Voyager, or a black man in charge in DS9. STD is different. It's feminized agenda is forced upon us and if we don't agree with their "mortality" we are wrong. Anyone that reads my stuff on this site knows that I'm socially liberal, fiscally...

On December 26th of 2018, my household officially joined the cord-cutters club. For the first time since 1988, I don’t have cable TV (at least not in the traditional, non-streaming sense). The process has been relatively painless thanks to a high-speed internet connection, a Roku set-top box...
