    1080p DLP TVs Enter Volume Production

    Will 1080p be coming to LCDs too (and I guess all other types of displays)? Or is there something special about DLP and 1080p together?

    April Slappa Hardbody 240 CD Camel Case Giveaway!

    I call everything I listen to "rock." From electonic stuff to folk music - for some reason if I like it, it's rock. If I'm telling someone about a band - they will ask me what it sounds like, and often I'm at a loss. It's all rock and roll to me. Or maybe I just like the most "rock n...

    Rush Concert in Tampa's Ford Amphitheater Reviewed

    I managed to see them in Buffalo up close in the pavilion at the local ampitheater (Darien Lake). Then a week later in Toronto for the hometown show. I hadn't been to Molson Ampitheatre before and it was almost too big. Way out on the lawn didn't compare to up close and personal. I...

    CD prices on the rise?

    Stumbled across this MSN article about what's skyrocketing in price these days. I was only partially surprised to see "audio discs and tapes" on that list. http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/SavingandDebt/P81029.asp?GT1=3584 The article admits this is only a few months' worth of data...

    Editorial: The State of the "Art" - Part One

    <font color='#000000'>Good article.  It reminds me of another one written by Conrad Keely of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.  Apparently he dabbles in the visual arts as well as being part of this fine rock band.  But that's another story. Check out his quick &quot;Abstract Art is...

    connecting pre-amp and amp

    <font color='#000000'>What kind of RCA-style interconnects should I use to connect a pre-amp and an amp.  It's actually a receiver, so the XLR style isn't available.   - Will any RCA-style cable do, or should it have certain properties? - Are there any worthwhile vendors that have bundled...

    Lyrics that you think suck

    <font color='#000000'>As big a Rush fan as I am (and apparently like many others here), and as good a lyricist and Neil Peart can be, I have to dock him points for some lines here and there.   This one just popped into my head: &quot;Excitement so thick / You can cut it with a knife&quot...

    Lyrics that you think are great.

    <font color='#000000'>I'm a huge smashing pumpkins fan... partly because of the lyrics.  At once a little obscure and poetic, a little innocent and hopeful and sappy, a little jaded and dark, and always just about right for their songs. [edit:sap]</font>

    Worst Period In Rock/Pop Music History???

    <font color='#000000'>I think pop music is coming around.   But very very slowly, and it's nowhere near impacting the quality of the hit charts.  It may never get that far, as most of it could just as easily be &quot;indie&quot; or something other than &quot;pop.&quot;  Music labels (types of...

    Can't listen to CD anymore.

    <font color='#000000'>I just bought a universal player (pioneer 563A), and I'm loving multichannel music (only have DSOTM, the Flaming Lips latest, and a couple of Dave Matthews tracks (which may be DTS only)). Bu I am surprised that I can't really discern a difference in quality for the...

    Yamaha DSP-Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Do they measure this spec differently, or less stringently, in Japan?  The local version only claims 170 watts.  I doubt that it's actually more powerful (let alone actually 80watts x7 and 20watts x2 more powerful).</font>

    RBH limited vs. signature

    <font color='#000000'>The only place I've seen them is Gene's setup for sale here.  I don't know if it is still possible to get them new or not.   A friend of mine bought a set of 5 RBH Signature speakers (2x 1266SE, 661SE, and 2x 66SE), but when I noticed Gene's were on sale I wondered how...

    RBH limited vs. signature

    <font color='#000000'>I wonder if anyone can comment on the sonic difference between standard RBH Signature fare and their Limited Edition Signature Series for any given model (say... the 1266). I see the updates include internal acoustic treatments, crossovers, and the drivers.  So what does...

    how many of you have dipole's at the back?

    <font color='#000000'><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td> In my experience, bi/dipoles tend to disperse sound in a way that makes speaker placement more forgiving.  So an ideal room with ideal speaker placement would not be necessary.   Also, I...

    Klipsch Files Lawsuit Against Multiple Internet Sa

    <font color='#000000'>I notice pretty much all manufacturers do this, with regard to &quot;authorized dealers.&quot;  Does this amount to simple price fixing, and sticking it to the consumer?  Or are there really legitimate reasons behind it all?</font>
