Guess You're Right Buy whatever you see fit. If you like tubes buy them. I rescind anything I have written about tubes. They're great, buy all that you can. If obsolete technology turns you on so be it.

You Have No Call To Be Rude If you can't be more polite, maybe you should post somewhere else.

Generalized Garbage? No I simply stated my experience of well over 30 years with tube equipment. If you like tubes, great.

Screen I have used all types of projection screens throughout the years (standard 16/35 mm projection) plus of course "white walls" and found all to be very acceptable. If you have enough light output a flat white paint will work out perfectly. When I was using portable projection screens...

Just about any DVD player should do just as well. I see no advantage to having a machine that plays only CD's. Doubtful that there is any improvement in audio quality whatsoever by a CD only player.

Would You At Least Agree Would you at least agree that there IS NO THEREMIN used in "Forbidden Planet". The soundtrack is purely electronic.

Read The Cinefantastique Article I would suggest you read the Cinefantastique magazine article on the film if you ever get a chance. You would then be far more informed.

I Can't Answer Your Queston Most likely it was not a keyboard. The man who purchased the saucer is Wes Shank and he never said how much he paid for it. He also bought a few of the "electronic fences" from the film. A theramin is not capable of the sounds that are produced in "Forbidden...

Sorry, You Lose

NO, Forbidden Planet Has A FUll Synthesizer There is no theremin in Forbidden Planet, it is a full fledged synthesizer. No, Moog did not have the first synthesizer (at least not in the movies). The synthesizer work in Forbidden Planet was done by Louis and Bebe Barron. To avoid having to pay...

Forbidden Planet Won An Academy For Sound Effects!! Actually Forbidden Planet was the first movie on the planet to use a full synthesizer. The sound effects were simply out of this world when it was released in 1956. There was nothing even close to it. No one at that time had ever heard a...

It should be mentioned that the Oppo OPDV971H is the older model OPPO. The new unit is DV-970HD and sells for $150.00 plus a few bucks shipping. This is probably the biggest bang for your buck that you are ever going to see in DVD players. Simply go to their website a check it out. No, I am...

Got in the OPPO DV-970HD upconverting dvd player yesterday. I can't tell you enough how much I am impressed with this unit. I had been using a Panasonic and a Pioneer DVD player/Recorder and was always very satisfied with the picture on both of those units. I was only expecting a minimal...

Extremely Well Stated I don't believe it could be said any better, no matter how many words were used. Excellent advice.

T Amps T amps are available at: http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/audio/6cd8/ and also Parts Express. Hope these were what you were looking for.

The Wave Of Future Audio In my personal opinion, the days of the big iron core transformer amplifiers are numbered. I'm sure there will always be people willing to pay big bucks for an amplifier that weighs 50 pounds or more but they will be in the minority. It took a while for vacuum...

IS HDMI superior Quite frankly, I see little, if any, better picture quality when I am using my HDMI connection as compared to component cable inputs. Your thinking is quite correct (in my opinion). You can never go wrong purchasing the best set of speakers that you can afford.

Can I Fill Up The Whole Screen? In a word "NO". If you blow up the picture to fill the top and bottom of the screen, you will be cutting off picture at the sides.

You Will Be Getting An EXCELLENT Receiver You will be very, very surprised and pleased with your purchase. The Panny DIGITALS are light (less than 10 pounds) run very cool, and sound every bit as good as their behemoth counterparts. As mentioned in another thread, I compared my Yamaha RX...
