There had been two movies I'd hung onto in VHS because they hadn't been released on DVD yest - Scott of the Antarctic and Cannery Row. Then this year they finally became available, so I'm not sure why I'm still carrying around the VCR.

I should add - I just sold my car for 1/10 of the Marantz price. :(

Preface: I actually have no opinion, have never really bothered to directly compare a specific CD recording to SACD (multi or 2-channel) in any sort of critical (even sighted) listening tests, and am just playing devil's advocate. Seems though that people are jumping all over a product for no...

2: Here's a headphone-only forum. Way more than anyone ever needs to know, much discussion of products with questionable claims, but some good information there too. http://www.head-fi.org/ Here's one of the better headphone retailers - prices fair to quite good, service and...

Which, if you don't mind? I'm always trying to find more ways to spend more money on delicious chocolate. Tried Schokinag?

One other speaker you might want to look at in the price range is the Salk HT1. I was torn between that and the 805, but decided to go with the Salk for the custom options. Unfortunately mine are still under construction so I can't say anything about them. However, I have yet to hear any...

How will you be stimulating the electronics segment of the economy this spring? For myself, thanks to moving expenses and the first-time homebuyer's credit (no-interest loan, really), my funds will far exceed my temptation threshold, not that that's hard. Most of it will go directly back into...

One problem you'll likely run into here (if you can't tell) is that most people have probably not actually heard both of the subs, let alone spent enough quality time to make their own judgments. That leaves basically specs and $$$, and it is true that the idea of 2 Ultras vs. 1 Descent for the...

I had a former rental car I named the Enterprise.:cool:

Don't get me wrong - Telarc is one of my favorite companies. I'm criticizing the hall in Atlanta, that's it. No doubt Telarc's engineers accurately reproduced the fuzziness of the hall, it's just that's where their big-name signed artists work. Their Cincinnati recordings on the other hand...

Atlanta's Symphony Hall has very warm acoustics, which can create a lush sound some people like. For me, all of the Telarc recordings there (choral or not) with rare exceptions sound muddy and fuzzy. And this is from an engineering team famous for clarity. I just don't buy any more of them...

One thing to add about sealed ones - the only pair I've used is the Sennheiser HD280. If you don't move it's fine, but the cord does far too well at transmitting friction noise to your ears. Really annoyingly distracting. I don't know how many others are the same way, but open designs seem...

I went with a cheap manual screen when I got one because I had to compromise somewhere on cost, and that seemed like the place. I've had it for I think 3 years now and there's some slight waving (which has been there for at least 2 years and hasn't worsened), and have never been that...

Another $116 (Amazon), and it could be the HD600! A former top of the line from a top of the line company, and barely outperformed by the new model according to most reviewers.

I've not listened to a wide enough range of headphones to give much comparative input, but here are a couple things I can add about earlier comments. Crossfeed: I also have a Headroom portable amp with the circuitry. Yes, it doesn't make much noticeable difference, except on those albums...

Amazon shows it as coming out in a week - December 2.

Just watched Tropic Thunder, and one of my new favorites is "I'm a lead farmer, M...F...s!!!" as well-delivered by Robert Downey, Jr.
