    Star Trek

    I finally got a chance to see Star Trek this weekend. It was clearly obvious that JJ Abrams is not a Star Trek fan. Much of the special effects were a sloppy CGI nightmare like Transformers was and this seems to be a new trend now with tech action packed movies. Shake the camera, do numerous...

    Star Trek

    This movie was highly overratted and over hyped. My biggest fears happened - the hollywoodification of Star Trek. I will go more into detail on my next post. I am currently detoxing by watching Star Trek II to restore my image of Kirk and the Star Trek world.

    Star Trek

    Agreed, love the Borg, especially in Voyager, but Khan was the all time villan for anything sci-fi. Nothing tops him IMO. Imagine an assimilated Khan LOL

    Star Trek

    You may want to check out the 2nd and 3rd seasons. Most of the episodes were really good, especially In Mirror Darkly and when they stopped the Xindi from destroying earth. The final episode was rushed b/c the show was canceled and it sucked big time but other than that, it became a good show...

    Official Yamaha RX-Z7 Receiver Review Thread

    I haven't really messed with the stock remote much but I believe it is programmable so you can have it learn the basic buttons of your cable box remote to operate those features.

    Denon New Blu-ray Offerings Almost Affordable

    I wouldn't be to sure about these statements. Comparing speaker cables to complex electronics doesn't even qualify as an apples to orange comparison. The same was said about CD players many years ago but the advantages of better CD players is quite apparant with carefully setup listening tests...

    Star Trek

    No, I am going this Saturday. As I said, I have low expectations so if its at least mildly entertaining and better than ST V and Nemesis, then I will be happy. I won't dwell on the timeline changes since afterall, much of SciFi is doing this lately (ie. Terminator) and you can't expect to...

    Um +-5 years gives me a total of 10 years of slack. Haven't you ever read a loudspeaker frequency response spec before? :D

    Star Trek

    Since they killed off Kirk in Generations, it probably would have been too difficult to explain his resurrection among all the other stuff happening. Also its likely Shatner didn't sign a deal for it.

    Star Trek

    I was worried about this. Why can't they stop making scifi movies that either have a mad man bent on destroying the Earth or a single pilot must fly into a super structure to destroy it.

    Star Trek

    I am cautiously optimistic but as a Trekkie I don't expect this movie to feel very trekkie. I think its ridiculous they built this ship on Earth. The Romulan guy looks nothing like a real Romulan so not sure where they are going with that. I saw a scene where Kirk and crew jumped out of a...

    Subwoofer Connection Guide For A Multi Subwoofer System

    I've spoken in great length about this with Dr. Floyd Toole. Even # of subs are easier to integrate into rectangular or square shaped rooms. I've done 3 subs in such rooms but it gets tricky. Of course in odd shapped rooms like my L shape reference room, all bets are off. It takes a lot of...

    Trading Amplifier Quality for Features – A New Trend with A/V Receivers?

    Correction to Article Editorial Note on A/V Receiver Market leader Comment (5/04/09) When this article was originally published, I stated that Denon has now become the market leader in A/V receiver sales. I have since then found that my source for this information was incorrect as Yamaha...

    Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

    AccuDef: In point 2) I stated that full power for full bandwith was not necessary if it adversely affected the performance of a class D amplifier. What I meant was that full power for full bandwidth as defined by the FTC protocol was not relevant for a class D unit. If you look at page 6 of...

    Heroes

    The whole killing Nathan and brainwashimng Sylar into thinking he's Nathan is just a bit too far fetched for me. Not that this show has any boundaries for reality. All they had to do was take Claire's blood and heal Nathan like they did for her step dad when he got shot in the eye. They...
