    Help me find some GOOD Vampire movies

    Terry St, Good call on Ravenous. I never thought about it in a vampire light, but yeah. In my opinion, it is a definite buy. I thought the film was very good. Dave Of course a vampire is simply a cannibal with good table manners. First line of Ebert's review of Ravenous.

    Help me find some GOOD Vampire movies

    Another one you may want to rent first is Razor Blade Smile. It is a low budget B film (which I seem to be attracted to) I liked but gets a lot of mixed reviews. Some really like it, some really hate it. It has, at least, an intersting plot going for it. A vampire of old becomes a hired killer...

    Help me find some GOOD Vampire movies

    I belive your thinking of Nosferatu the Vampyre with Klaus Kinski as Nosferatu. I have that one also. I don't remember anything wrong with it (the DVD if that is what you may have been remembering) but for some reason it didn't make much of an impression with me. Maybe I need to watch it again...

    Help me find some GOOD Vampire movies

    Vince, I definently third (or fourth) Nosferatu, though a silent, I found it quite creepy. Along the same lines , you've got to check out Shadow of the Vampire. A recent film starring Willem DeFoe. It's a film about the making of Nosferatu wher Max Shreck (DeFoe) really is a a vampire. I...

    Little wonder some are turning to online buying!

    Hey Jerry, When I bought the Speakers it was from the Showcase off of Frank Lloyd Wright and the 101 (near The Great Indoors). Salesman's name was David Wolper. When I bought the receiver it was from the new store on 69th ave and Bell. Dave

    Little wonder some are turning to online buying!

    I have actually had a couple of good experiences with local hi-fi dealers. Well, one dealer actually, in the Phoenix area Showcase Home Entertainment has done me good. A year or so ago I was looking to upgrade my Bose speakers. Not knowing what I wanted, I went to the local dealer figuring I...

    How to set B&K notch filter

    Thanks for all of the replys. Its funny, the first time I took my measurements, I tried to hold the SPL meter around head level like I do when setting speaker level. This gave me the huge drop at 40hz. Took the measurements again, except set the meter on the ottoman, and the 40hz reading was...

    How to set B&K notch filter

    Ah, it sounds like the steps would be to set the freq you want to adjust, the width of the adjustment, and then there are two other settings - bass & treble. Does one then reduce or boost the bass to take the range (40hz in my case) up to the level of the other freq readings? Does this make...

    How to set B&K notch filter

    How is one supposed to adjust the notch filter of the B&K 307? The manual is vague and my monkeying with it does not seem to change anything. I started by running the B&K test tone from the room equaliztion setting page (at -30db) and logging the results. I have a huge dip at 40hz. But...
