Mike; Your Roundup is invaluable to me. It’s the first thing I check every Sunday morning and the work you put into this is much appreciated. Since our local Best Buys have dropped all physical media I have purchased .mainly from Amazon and GRUV. I may have to check out those newly listed...

Received my copy today and while I didn’t have time to watch the movie, I put the Blu-ray in one player and my old pathetic dvd the the other and did a side by side comparison on a couple of scenes. The difference in color and sharpness were readily apparent. The Blu-ray was far superior...

Yeah, well, you’re very well liked over here!!

Thank you for an excellent review of one of my favorite movies. This was a first-day purchase and a first-day watch. I was finally able to retire my old dvd and view a much better quality picture. Imagine - an espionage movie without one single car chase or fistfight! Hopefully, if you...

Absolutely first-class movie. Great espionage work. No car chases, explosions or spurting blood. Just good characters, plotting and realism. You know, movies like they used to make them. Looking forward to ditching my DVD in this Blu-Ray. Thanks for bringing this one up, Ron.

Well, let’s see. I already have the Criterion War Of The Worlds and the DVD of When Worlds Collide, so what will Mr. No Will Power decide to do? Will he decide to buy two movies he already has? Does water run downhill? And I suspect that I will not be the only double dipper on these two great...

I had never even heard of this movie. Based on the reviews you guys wrote I thought I’d give it a try. I was very satisfied, especially with the depth of the characters and the originality and lack of cliches. $5 on Amazon and well worth it. Thanks for pointing this one out.

I use CLZ Movies to organize my 1900 movies. It does everything I need it to and is easy to use. Sorting, searching, editing, scanning entries - all work just fine. It’s stable. I’ve used and checked out others, but this is the database for me. Updates frequently. Take a look at this one.

Thanks once again for all your work, Mike. I can’t remember the last DVD I bought so what your new policy is is fine with me.

God, I love this forum. There are so many nice and knowledgeable people here. I feel like I’m reading mail from friends.

Sam, thank you for an excellent review of a very good movie. You nailed it. The movie was good but not quite as good as one would have hoped for. But this is probably as good as we’re going to get. I doubt that there will ever be another movie made about this incredibly important battle...

You guys break me up. Keep up the good work. And don’t forget to order this before the price goes up.

This is one warm, sweet movie. Just as It’s A Wonderful Life languished in unappreciated limbo for years, so has this movie. Now it’s out there for us film fans and you will not regret getting this one. While I don’t have the reviewing credentials like Matt or Crawdaddy, believe me, this is a...

The Farmer’s Daughter is well worth a blind purchase. I already have it, having taped it off TCM, but the quality is not up to BR standards. I preordered it as soon as I saw it was coming on BR. If you like Capra, you’ll like this.

Costco had them yesterday for $17 for all three as one of their box sets. All widescreen. Now THAT'S a blind buy.

The price today is now up to $297. MSRP is, I believe $400.

I managed to burn out the Micro ATX power supply in my Sony VAIO desktop. I looked at the power supply before buying an ATI 9700 video card and it said that it was a 295 watt power supply. The ATI card requires a system with a 300 watt power supply. So I thought I was okay, but I didn't realize...

So my town got 6.5 inches of rain today in 9 hours. I'd like to figure out how many gallons of water fell on a town of 13.25 square miles. Can anyone tell me how to figure this out? Thanks.

Once again the HTF has come through. I'd like to thank all you guys for your help. I couldn't find the Mirage or M&K anywhere and I couldn't find anything doing Internet searches either. I got the Paradigm X-30 today thanks to your suggestion. I didn't even know Paradigm made these and never...

I recently got a pair of Mirage Omnisat speakers for my rear channel. Love them. But I knew going in that they would not have much deep bass. I'd like to hook an old subwoofer into my rear channels in conjunction with the Omnisats. I'll need a freestanding external crossover for this. Anyone...

They match pretty good. The Mirage website says they are voice matched to the OM series and they sound pretty close to me. Obviously being in a different location in the room makes a difference in the sound, but as far as I can tell they are the same. Does the match in timbre make the surround...

Office Max and Office Depot have the cable tunnels that lie flat,if that's what you're thinging of. The trick with those is to get them to lie flat - the ones I've had have a tendency to curl. You can also get hollow split tubing at Radio Shack or Ace Hardware, but then you've got a 1" tube to...

They are $250 per speaker. And worth it.

I picked the Omnisats about a week ago and I love them. I recently got a pair of Mirage OM-5s and I decided to finally get a matched system instead of the hodge-podge mixture of different speakers thatI've always had. So I went looking at Mirage-brand surrounds and found these. Now, my room is...

I'm a HVAC contractor. The only furnaces I would put in my own house are Carrier (same as Bryant), Amana, or Lennox.

Dan; I'm a HVAC contractor -sorry, not in your area - The best units out there are Carrier, Amana, & Lennox. The problem with the condensers with the spine coil are, as already pointed out, the ease of damage, and hard to clean - if a coil is dirty, it can't shed the heat fast enough. If you...

Thanks a lot, guys. I really appreciate the help. I didn't know that the ZAMP had a headphone jack. I looked at it on the Parasound website and that seems to be the perfect solution to my problem. Again, my thanks. Larry

I've got a Parasound AVC-2500 which has no headphone jack. I would like to be able to use headphones late at night when the family is sleeping. Can I just use a "Y" splitter and send the signal to both my amp (turned off) and a set of headphones or is the preamp signal not compatible with the...

Thanks for the help, guys. I picked up the Niles Audio DSP-1 and will probably get everything rewired this weekend and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again. Larry

All the speaker selector switches I looked at either can't handle much above 75 watts or so, or have impedence matching circuitry that I'm concerned may alter the sound quality. Keep those ideas rolling in. I appreciate it.
