Yea, I have read many of the same reviews. I just moved, and had a new HT room built. I am currently not setup to get a sonic picture of the room signature via REW, and just want to see exactly what XT32 did...

Hi all, I am looking at getting the MutEQ app for my 6400, and am toying around with the idea of installing an Android OS in a virtual machine on my PC to host it (A smart phone is not an option at this point). Another possibility is an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, though I cannot find anyone...

Hi, I also have had good luck with flippers (knock on wood) so far. I have the original, original pressing of seasons 1-3 (all flippers, from, what, 10 years ago?), and recently went through them all with no issues. I have the original release of BSG (with the "toaster head" packaging), and...

For those who are interested, Amazon now has all 7 seasons at very reasonable prices (I even cancelled my original order for season 7 at 25 bucks and reordered at 18 bucks). Also, could someone who has the second season check something for me? I have one of the first pressings of season 2...

^^^ Yup. That's exactly what I got as well...

^^^ I just got S4-6, and they are indeed the fold-out digipacks. I was worried that there would be several floaters (something I never worry about with BDs), but was pleased when there were none. After removing all of them from the digipacks and putting them in slim-CD cases (the cases go on...

Dukes of Hazzard, Seasons 4-6... :D

ANOTHER UPDATE (this is getting good)! My Seasons 4-6 just shipped, for delivery on Tuesday. Now if season 7 would just show up... all seasons (except 7, of course... :rolleyes:) are now listed at Amazon for really nice prices (around $17-$18/season). I am thinking that this will probably be...

UPDATE: I just got an "estimated date of delivery" on Seasons 4-6 (which I ordered several weeks ago, all under the "out-of-stock" mantra). I guess there IS hope (knock on wood, now that I've said that):

On the contrary, the path this thread has taken is completely relevant to the question When are we gonna get "The Dukes of Hazard" on Blu-ray? Given what Warner has already stated, that they will no longer license any Dukes products, it is not about "paranoia," but about what options the...

Well, From my POV, they (Warner) have two choices (both of which make them look like a PC a$$): 1) They can continue to make Dukes merchandise, but with the flag censored/blurred/whatever. Personally, I want to see how well the Dukes stuff will sell then; they will have alienated the entire...

Well, I placed my order for seasons 4-7 on Amazon (I already had 1-3) on July 5. All of them were listed as "Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available." Although the listing for each has since changed to "In Stock" at least once, that has presumably been from...

Well, at the very least this whole boondoggle shows definitively the superiority of physical media (where ownership and end-user control is concerned)... ;-)

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that Warner Brothers will follow Amazon. Granted, WB is no Disney, which is an even bigger offender in the PC arena, having changed many of its films (mostly animated) to be “acceptable” by current PC standards. Case-in-point: The animated film “Song of the...

Thanks, Paul. That makes perfect sense! :)

That is correct. The date she gives him in Supremacy is consistent with his file, and the date of 4/15/71 is code for the training center where it all started...

This was one of the best spy thrillers I have ever seen, IMO (and miles above post-Connery Bond). I have one question that is driving me nuts, however. Supremacy ends with Bourne telling Pam "to get some rest", then walking away in what I assume is Langly during the day. Then Ultimatum begins in...

The way it's looking right now, I may end up waiting for the Universal player Talmadge is talking about.... I've waited this long and, like a true HT geek, my BR library is growing, player or not... "The HD-DVD fans are evil!" "From my point of view, the Blu Boys are evil!" "Then you are...

I take it back.... provisionally. The new Onkyo player is looking more and more like a crippled rebadge of the Toshiba XA2, who IMO is most certainly not in the same league, or plane of reality for that matter, as Denon... Onkyo can still redeem themselves if their first player is completely...

Well, now it's back off my radar (for good, this time). I will get either an XA2, or the upcoming Onkyo. On the blu side, I will see what is announced at CES. Even if this player is the rock solid device they are claiming, I prefer not to play lottery games as to release dates (had my fill of...

Robert, Something to keep in mind. I'm in the same pre-HDMI boat as you, and thus am currently using analogs from my A1. Judging from Samsungs other offerings, and a pre-release review done by Gary Merson over at AVS, this player may very well have a crippled analog section. Specifically...

Michael, Am I understanding you correctly in that I can use the grey ramp pattern to determine the red line on my RP CRT, but I use the eyefatigue method to find what is most comfortable to me (and that as long as it is significantly below the redline I am OK)?

Thanks, Jeremy! Good stuff. I negelcted to mention that my display is analog, not digital (Mitsubishi 65511). What I am hoping for is a definative "yes, the using the grey ramp pattern will give equivelent results on an analog CRT" or "no, the grey ramp pattern is unsuitable for analog...

Hi all, I have a quick question for the calibrationists here. According to the tutorial on DVE, the contrast should be set just below where blooming starts to occur. Problem is, I really cannot tell exactly where that is. I saw on another thread that LCD sets don't have blooming, and instead...

I think this may be the first title I wait specifically for the Blu version. The only combo I currently have that actually makes sense is HD-DVE (with the SD version for the tutorials). Paramount is terrible about milking the fans, and the "combo premium" is just another excuse to do so again...

Thanks again, Phil! I repeated all my calibrations and PEQ, making sure I have everything spot-on. As it stands, I have all speakers at 75 +/- 0.5 dB, and the subs (dual SVS 20-39 PC+ cylinders) at 83 +/- 1.0 dBC as measured using SD-DVE, with a FR flat to +/- 0.5 dBC from 17-90Hz. All...

Phil, A couple more questions, if I may. First, just because I am using a different decoder chip when down-mixing TrueHD, why would that signal be 5dB cooler than the DD counterpart in the HD-DVE/SD-DVE pink noise? Secondly, my main concern is the redirected bass. When my sub bottomed...

Phil, the reason I asked is that whether I am using 6-ch analog or SPDIF (I don't have HDMI yet), the LFE tone on HD-DVE is 5dB low. In other words, I have SPDIF (via toslink - Dolby Digital) calibrated using DVE (75dB satellites, 85dB sub), but when I double check using the TrueHD tone from...
