    Queensryche Mindcrime Re-Release Again?

    Got this in my mail from CD Universe: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinf...53496122&BAB=M It's a "deluxe edition" of Operation: mindcrime. Can't find any details on what it actually is. Someone have the scoop?

    Design suggestions for my simple HT

    Cool. Compact and intimate. You mention "at least" 50" for monitor size. With a 7' viewing distance AND 1080p resolution you may be able to comfortably accommodate larger for greater impact. At least if your budget allows. It also seems that you will have some space behind the set. You might...

    Can't connect Xbox 360 to PC

    Got it running - the IPs were the problem as outlined above. For anyone running into challenges you need to make sure your router is limited to those ranges. I switched to a different hub with 192.x.x.x IP and the authorization/recognition between the PC and the 360 went flawlessly. Pretty slick...

    Can't connect Xbox 360 to PC

    I think I know my problem, but don't know how to fix it. According to the Microsoft troubleshooting site my PC's IP address needs to be within the following range for Windows Media Center: 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255 169.254.0.0–169.254.255.255 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255...

    Can't connect Xbox 360 to PC

    This morning I tried to get my 360 and PC connected to stream my MP3's. Was able to download the Media Connect software but was prompted to install the .NET Framework. Installed that, ran the Media Connect setup. Everything went fine until the Xbox 360 authorization stage where MC was unable to...

    I need some opinions from the experts

    Depends on the frequency causing the resonance. The lower the frequency the longer the waveform and therefore the bigger the acoustic treatment needs to be. Simple foam padding will serve to limit treble and upper midrange from bouncing around. Too much will make things sound wooly. But you can...

    I need some opinions from the experts

    That will help a lot for mid and high frequencies - the glass is too hard a surface. That's a cozy looking room but seems kind of uncomfortable for TV/Movie viewing as you're looking from your side at the set. Where does the door behind the TV lead? Depending on what's back there and the...

    I need some opinions from the experts

    I forgot about Jeff's room. That's a good idea and it worked quite well. Much smaller room than Doug's though. From the looks of Doug's sketch the left wall would be adjacent to the underside of the stairs.

    I need some opinions from the experts

    You won't want them against the TV for a couple of reasons. First, they'll be too close together. Ideally the mains should form two points of an equilateral triangle (the third being you). Adjust from there. But when they're that close you won't be able to develop any real sound stage. The...

    I need some opinions from the experts

    Hey Doug So if I understand correctly the main couch is not in the room but rather against the left side wall. This is really problematic for you for a couple of obvious reasons. One being that you're not really using rear surrounds but rather a pair of righ side surrounds. Secondly is that...

    I need some opinions from the experts

    First off, changed the IMG tag to URL - file is too big as an embedded image. The first thing that strikes me is how off-balance the gear is at the front. You'll be getting a lot of reflections off the right wall and imaging will be toast for music. Also makes it difficult to balance levels...

    George Thanks for keeping tabs on this. Sounds like a great update! The new features that really caught my eye... Background downloader manager allows up to six simultaneous downloads while freeing up the rest of the console's operations, and will pause and automatically restart if you take...

    Line 6 Vetta II Owners: New Firmware Upgrade Available

    Which head was it? If you're interested in a modelling amp there is another approach. On the Vetta (head or combo) you can run two amps simultaneously in the same patch. You could have two completely different settings like two channels on an amp and switch between them with zero delay. You...

    Line 6 Vetta II Owners: New Firmware Upgrade Available

    Hey Jeff Depends on what you refer to as a delay. I'd say the new patch is up and running now in say half a second, if that.
