    *** Watch the U.S. Open ***

    Roger Federer & Tiger Woods have a lot in common to me; they're both masters of sports so dull they could induce a coma!:D

    Second subwoofer now or not?

    At that price I think I'd probably jump. Even if you need something larger down the road you'll have nice stuff for a secondary system, for a relative, or even be able to resell it at a good price. Of course, it depends upon you financial situation. If you can comfortably buy it without...

    Isolating a subwoofer in an appartment?

    Maybe a SubDude would help? Aurelex also makes foam pads meant to be placed under studio monitors- those might help. Some bass will undoubtedly pass thru the floor but decoupling the sub physically will help.

    Carada 100''Brilliant White Help

    Yes, all digital PJs currently on the market will have some SDE- it's a side effect of the technology. LCD, particularly, exibits spaces around & between the active pixels. DLP has less SDE but it's still there. Typically there's a distance to screen size ratio where the pixels will...

    Carada 100''Brilliant White Help

    I'm glad to hear it. All I've ever heard about Carada's customer serverice is that they go the extra mile to make you happy. Perhaps as the say the BW is too bright. Maybe the Cinema White would work better. I'm following your experiences as I've been planning to buy a Carada Criterion in BW...

    Audyssey MultEQ Test Report for Denon AVR-3806

    Thanks, AVRat. Looks pretty cool. I wonder what it does in the bass range? And what will it cost?

    Audyssey MultEQ Test Report for Denon AVR-3806

    I hadn't heard of the upcoming standalone Audyssey box. When's it due? What will it cost? Work's kept me so busy that I've been a little out of the loop lately. I agree that the TACT/DEQX systems are more powerful, but honestly, Sleestack, it's not a fair comparison. You're essentially...

    Cool. Glad to see it's working for you. :)

    Online Retailers

    If a 'sales slug' fed me that line of crap I'd turn right around, walk out the door, and find myself a better, more knowledgeable dealer.

    I might buy a Leowe! Help!

    That's a tough call; on the one hand a Leowe Aconda is one of the finest direct view TVs you can buy at any price. On the other, service might be a problem. Provided you can simply carry it to your car (ie avoid having shippers/gorillas toss it around) it should work fine for years. They're...

    $300 rebate on Optoma HD72

    Right now Visual Apex has a great deal on the Optoma HD72- a $300 rebate, with an extended warranty & lamp replacement deal. The price is good to start with. If you want in on it you'd better hurry; the deal expires on 9/14.

    Carada 100''Brilliant White Help

    What you describe sounds like screen door effect, not the screen. Can you see the squares when the PJ is turned off?

    Top 5 favorite bass players

    Lots of good ones listed. To them I'd have to add Billy Shehan, once of Tallas & David Lee Roth. Also played on some of Tony MacAlpine's stuff. Truly an amazing player.

    Composite to S-video Adaptors

    I have a component-to-S adapter that works very nicely and didn't cost too much (maybe $10). It didn't improve the picture but it didn't visibly degrade it either. Initially I bought it to connect my Denon '3802 to the projector- turns out the adapter was cheaper than a 30' compositive video...

    Salesmen - Blowing smoke...

    According to legend, it was Herbert Von Karajon than advised them (Sony & Philips) to make sure the CD format could accomodate the full length of Beethoven's 9th symphony. I don't have a link right off, either. I've always 'assumed' it was true but I can't prove it.

    No UPS on IN76

    What do they claim will happen if you do so?

    Looks like the rebate has been extended thru Sept 30th. So here's another chance for anyone who missed out to get in on an amazing deal on a superb DVD projector.:D

    Help me find a projector please

    Definately there'll be some sweet new PJs after CEDIA. One minor thing to keep in mind if you plan on waiting- the current gen of PJs are a known quantity, but if you are one of the first buyers of a new model its flaws and quirks will be unknown. For that reason it can be a good idea to wait...

    Crododile Hunter Steve Irwin has passed away

    Whoa!:eek: That sucks! I really liked that guy. He was very entertaining and did so much to promote conservation. He will be missed.:(

    1080p or marketing BS ??

    My (probably vain) hope is that in the future, as digital cameras banish film to the dustbin of history, movies will be "shot" (since I can't say filmed;) ) at higher framerates to remove motion blur and create more solid reproduction of movement. The 24 fps of modern film is a compromise...
