The LG doesn't look like a "great" machine, but rather the first of what I hope will be a wave of True Universals. As I've said before, we won't be able to really stick a fork in this Format War until you can buy a Universal from Denon, Onk, Pioneer, Yamana, JVC, etc. BTW, I think that the...

I'm probably going to buy an HD PJ in a couple weeks, so of course I'm drooling over the BluRay & HD-DVD discs. Right now there's about 450 discs available between the two, with some duplication of course. Has anyone else been aggrevated by the fact that each format has an exclusive on a few...

A couple notes, Stratman- one of Defranco's first roles was playing James Dean, so the resemblance was noted by many. And when Reno's character asks if anyone speaks French, the boxer does raise his hand signifying he does. I also noticed some unusual color choices, but I think it was just the...

NAXOS is still issuing plenty of MC classical. I get quite a few from HBDirect.com. MusicDirect and CDUniverse are other good sources. And I haven't checked real recently, but last I knew AIX was still cranking 'em out, too. I have some really great sounding DVD-A's from them.

Flyboys is a wonderful movie, one of the best I've seen in some time. The effects are really excellent, the film is well written and full of great performances. The more I see James Defranco the more I admire him as an actor (note: he's superb in another of my recent faves, Tristan &...

I agree. Electronics in particular change rapidly. For music-only rigs you might get many years out of a receiver, but for HT you'll probably feel the desire to upgrade every two or three years. Way back in the day I had some Infinity SM-150's, virtually identical to the ones you're buying...

I've never seen it either. It's the one where every season is one day, right? That must be hard to maintain over the years.

You'd see the DVD-A catalog growing if you were looking, but you won't find them at Best Buy. There are a few good online vendors with an impressive selection of DVD-A, as well as SACD. Sorry to be vague- art music is a phrase generally used to describe classical.

I have a Modwright modded DVD player with a Bybee on the digital output.:o I didn't have the chance to compare the before and after, as I bought it that way with the Level 1 Transport Mods. Er, it does sound very nice, though.:D

Hmmm...mine is yellow, and the back is different.

From what I've heard, Vista is the real deal, more stable & user friendly than XP and with much improved security features. The main knocks I've heard are 1) it's new, therefore a little buggy and 2) it's a total pig, requiring a lot more system resources. Has anyone here used it enough to...

I'd agree with Peter- what's a few weeks? Obviously I can understand impatience as much as the next audiophool, though.:D There are other good subs besides the Hsu's, but as has been said- be prepared to pay for it!

With my luck, the speakers would come loose and fall on my head!:p

Agreed. Although since my Denon universal is set to automatically play back the soundtrack with the most channels, I would actually have to turn on my PJ to change it.

Hmmm...are they for sale? I got one at some point, and I actually happen to be wearing it now!:D But if the AH staff was to print another run of them, I'd be willing to buy a couple more.

Yeah, I love good multichannel, but I'm becoming disillusioned overall. Most pop recordings in MC go for gimmicks instead of natural sound. To me the idea of MC is to more accurately recreate the ambient space of the recording, to sonically transport you to that space. But what we usually get...

I hope DualDisc dies- the discs "CD side" doesn't conform to Redbook specs and cannot hold as much music as a real CD, and the physical disc is thicker than either a CD or DVD. Because of this, most manufacturers warn the consumer not to use DualDisc in their machines. The whole deal seems...

I'm strongly considering an HD70, as I have an H31 and love it, and the '70 would bolt up to the same mount. But according to the many reviews I've read, the Mits is a better PJ, especially with regards to black levels and out-of-the-box color accuracy. My high regard for Optoma, coupled with...

Wow! I see the the Mitsubishi HD1000U is now priced well under $1k (actually, it's $899 right now at Projector People), with the '3000 coming in just under $1,300!:eek: Man, that's a helluva lotta PJ for not much money. It's getting hard to justify keeping my Optoma H31 much longer!:D

I guess the $64,000 question is how does it stack up vs the Panasonic PT-AX100U, bang-for-the-buck-wise? Seems like the Panny gives perhaps a tad more filmlike picture and higher overall performance, but the Sanyo has the auto lense cover & panel cleaner, plus is $500 cheaper. Seems like that...
