What software Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity is used to measure this subwoofer: Velodyne DPS-10

The Marrix Reload is fantastic! I was a little worried after the hype and bad reviews. However it seem that was just movie studios doing what movie studios do, and jealous Star War fans ;) It was a visual feast and it was funny how the audience (including myself) tried hard to keep up...

Which is the best bass shaker option with my K2 amp: (a) 2 ButtKickers and a seperate amp for sub. (b) 1 ButtKicker bridged and a seperate amp for sub. (c) 1 Buttkicker and sub per channel. Concerns before purchase: Option (a) appears to be overkill but I have the option of adding a Kicker...

There is no subtitles even though my DVD player(Panasonic A120U) indicates its on. I do see the InfiniFilm subtitles. Anyone else have this problem?

I was referring to boxed movies. I wanted the Godfather set but its too expensive for me and I'll pass. I love collecting movies, but if we all rush and buy movies at premium prices, the studios will soon charge whatever they feel like. Case in point, CDs are still $12-$14 despite the court...

There is no incentive to buy a set if there is not much savings. Plus they don't fit on all racks. I see them gathering dust on store shelves. What's the deal?

Great news! I resisted buying the current issue and thought I had to wait till next year. The SE is on my must-buy-on-the-first-day list.

I decided to add to my collection of UFC hits and two Extreme Fighting DVDs and was pleasantly surprised at the large selection of MMA DVDs at Amazon now, especially the Pride FC series. However, I could'n find a comprehensive review of MMA DVDs. I not am too familiar with the various...

Best Buy have Reservoir Dogs on sale this week for $7.99, does this mean the SE release is close? What features are included? I want this movie but I'll wait for the SE if its not too far away. Thanks

I hope Fox release Family Guy soon over here, else I will be forced to buy a region free player like the Malata player discussed at avsforum.

I will eventually get most of Tarantino, Kubrick and Scorsese films and will definitely check out some of the lesser known films you guys suggested. I never saw Fight Club because reviews were mostly polarized, but now that I think of it, it will be my next DVD for this very same reason. Keep em...

I watched it 3 straight times on DVD, still want to watch it again. Intelligent, emotional, raw, thought-provoking and symbolic movies are makes a movie compelling to me. Some examples: The Matrix Goodfellas Once were Warriors Blade Runner Aguirre, the Wrath of God Thanks...

The T-Rex footsteps are no hype. Only subs capable of producing high SPL at very low frequencies (rare for most commercial subs) can do it effectively. You feel the room presurized, then the walls start to shake, then you hear the footsteps. Regular subs just hit their excursion limits before...

Thanks! The easiest and obvious solution escaped me :) I'll use the computer for PAL discs only. DVD-Genie is intresting also, seems like a good utility to keep. Any links to fast codefree(no or easy mods) computer DVD drives?

Thanks for the info, I suspected the image would not be too good. I have an ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon card but the manual states I could only change the region 5 times. I guess the powers that be have their hooks deep in the computer industry too. Any ideas on a setup that would have decent...

I want to build a kungfu collection starting with some PAL DVDs from Hongkong Legends. I have Drunken Master already but no player The SMC DVD player seem to be an economical way to go for $299. Can anyone comment on the quality of its conversion from PAL to NTSC?

I would like to see some tests on subwoofer losses at high SPL too. For example: 4in vs 4in flared ports One vs multiple ports Port vs PR Then we can make better judgements on design tradeoffs. ------------------ Hideaway Shivas

Hey TV, chill out. We can all learn from each other and agree to disagree :) ------------------ Hideaway Shivas

Most common cause is a ground loop because your cable is grounded elsewhere from the outlet. I tried most everything but only reduced the hum. I finally got rid of it by running a heavy extension chord from the amp to the electrical point closest to where the cable enters the house...

With the NCH generator, the frequency response is dependent on your computer sound card. My RS meter usually reads 1-2 dB less than Stryke test CD for frequencies less than 16 Hz relative to 20Hz. But I like the fact that you can set exact frequencies so this is what I use. ------------------...
