Not super hot on the Monster brand, but I did pick one up. Not sure what model #, but it was a hefty one as I have a big power amp. If nothing else, I lost my 60hz crawl through my TV... I *think* sound improvred, too.... For me, I am happy....

I just got- and watched- Lost in Translation, too.... and was quite annoyed at having to keep pressing the FF button to get to the dang movie... But the forced video that I find most annoying is John Lassiter's forced Fan Boy commentary just before Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service and...

Anthony: >>> It's nitpicking but there's a nasty hair in the frame of one scene that really should have been spotted by whoever restored it. I noticed that, too. Very annoying as it is in a black shadow area. But that shot is wonderful... what is it, two ten-minute shots stung together...

Mr Harris: Sorry to steal a bit of your thunder. I trust your article will be a bit better written and researched than mine! I always enjoy your articles. >>> As one who was not formally involved with the One from the Heart production, but rather, was on site and involved in other ways...

Hey: Seems a bit strange no one has mentioned this new release. Sure, maybe not the most popular film, but influential none-the-less. It has always been a secret favorite of mine; despite the bad press it initially got- now I wonder if the DVD release will be buried just like the theatrical...

First, I had no idea cookers were AC- that DOES make a hell of a difference. If a stream starts down a new path, you can easily imagine that it would smooth the banks and make it easier for water to pass- that was what I was thinking. But if the stream reversed direction every 60/sec, it seems...

Hi: I am specifically addressing this to Chu Gai because of a comment he made earlier in a thread which I cannot now find. But it was a fairly recent post. Please do not think I ma baiting you- I am not! I just had a wild thought in one of my off moments, and I was hoping maybe you could...

Chester: >>> 100 hours sounds about right to "acclimate" your ears and brain to the teflon-coated cables I would have said the same thing- it does not seem logical (to me, at lkeast) that wires would get better/tune/whatever over use. A speaker, yes... just wires, I would not think so...

Last year, I took the time to make these. Did not notice the teflon thing at first.... so I even made them twice. Go ahead and laugh- my wife sure did! Anyway, the first set- non-teflon,- sounded fine. About equal to the 12 gauge Home Depot I was using. The teflon sounded like shit. Really...

StephenL: That is cool- how do you set up your playlists? It would be cool to have the interface appear on your TV, and use a remote to scroll through the options and such....

Matt: Thanks- will look into it!

Hmmm... maybe not... 2K for 40 Gigs? 3K for 120? Seems a BIT more than what I was thinking. Something like this should just be a glorified x-Box- simple OS, simple software, a CD player (possibly burner, but I do not care), firewire, optical out and a big HD... I wuld think 3 bills or so!

Ron: Thanks- Escient Fireball looks like a good place to start. My stereo is downstairs, the computer up, so that won't wotk for me...

Hi: Toss up on whether this belonged in Tweaking or here- figured here. I have a Sony GWIII LCD projection. I am having problems setting up the Picture (or white) levels, and was hoping for some advice. I use the DVE, and the THX Optimizer Setting up the levels for contrast are...

Hi: I like to play music a lot, and I hate changing CD's. I have a Sony ES carrosel, and that seems to suit me just fine- I love just putting a program on random and letting it go. Then yesterday I d/led this iTunes thing from Apple, just to play. I REALLY like it. And it made me think...

>>> they're mainly used when you need to upgrade the firmware for the component. Why would I have it on my Rotel Amp?

Cool- thanks for the SDE 101 class! Got the GWIII home this morning. Very pretty but I do seem to have some convergence problems. So I guess I will be getting a new one.

Anthony: Thanks! >>> When you say "TVs" I assume you mean LCD monitors or projectors, since normal CRT displays (tube TVs) don't have this problem Actially, I see something akin to this on my CRT based RPTV- more lines than than boxes, but there is definite space between the "light" to...

Hi: What exactly is the screen door effect? I had thought I knew, but I saw something while TV shopping, and now I am not sure... What I had thought SDE was would be seeing the black around a pixel, and every pixel. Very VERY small, but obviously an annoyance. Is this right? What I have...

Gotta say Batman, the Adam West version... This one is so ready for DVD, I canb't beleive it is not out yet... Get Smart The rest of Twin Peaks Max Headroom Mission: Impossible Wild, Wild West I Dream of Jeanie Bewitched

Just got this myself, and I was blown away. Incredible. I especially like the FBI Warning. The sound is top notch. Never would have thought something this old would sound- and look- so good. I know it is not the most popular topic, but for just shear restoration quality, this should be...

>>>> updating the FX I hope they take out ALL the guns and replace them with walkie talkies.... seriously, I HOPE NOT. The wires holding up the spinner are one of the classic things in this film. PLEASE don't screw with that.... and SURELY do not add more spinners or whatever! I have the...

Ron: Thanks. How firm is this schedule? Yes, I KNOW disney changes things at the drop of a hat! Any reasons you know of for the switches? Thanks!

Boy, this saddens me. I have had (and LOVED) the Laser for years. I have an even older Live PG VHS from a previous tour. I always loved both of those, and thought the DVD would just make enjoying them that much easier. Well, at least I have the Laser!

If I may be permitted to butt-in here, I am curious about this as well. But I would also like some background... such as when/why would you use an absorber, and when/why would you use a defusor? Thanks!

Let me tell you- this town is on it's ears right now. Couldn't be happier for the Smarts, and for Elizabeth.

Hi: I just started on console games, got myself a Hex-Box... (No, I am pretty aniti-MS, but it was the best box for my needs, so I went for it!) Anyway, so I did my shopping, and- unlike shopping for Amps, CD players, etc, there just seems to be one price (199.00) for the boxes. And...

Jerry: Thanks for that heads up on the escrows, I was not aware of that... Chas_T: You are quite welcome. I myself was not burned this way, but a friend was, so I made the Paypal thing a personal crusade. Did you know Paypal IS E-Bay?

Cartoons are my life. (It's not just a job- it's an adventure!)

Mike: No- won't work! This is why NOT to ever use or trust paypal, even with a credit card. Paypal is a payment service- their "job" is to take your money and give it to someone else. That is all they do, and all the "promise" to do. You can dispute a charge against the person or...
