Yes, they have information about music for all of the Season 2 episodes EXCEPT 206. The place to look isn't easy to find, but if anyone's interested it's at the very bottom of the "Videos" page: http://www.starz.com/originals/Boss/Videos#/episode-201 And yes, this is a very good series...

Does anyone happen to know what closing music was used over the credits in "Backflash" (episode 206?)

Does anyone know of a way to obtain the replacement disks for Season 2 Vol 1? Apparently the trade-in offer ended, the web page with the offer is no longer active. Were the new versions ever put into retail production? Wondering if a purchase now would get the new or old disks...

Are there any plans to release this title on Blu-Ray? Thanks, Philip

Big omission in the above: Yellow Submarine The only 5.1 Beatles songs to date. Cheers, Philip Brandes

There's an interesting article about this in the September Stereophile Ultimate AV, which makes the following points: 1. This is an entirely-new colorization process, not the Turner-funded paint-by numbers monstrosity of the past. Not only is the technology superior, but a lot of historical...

I'm new to this thread, and trying to sort through all the information here. I'm looking for DVD cases (1 & 2 disk capacities) that are: - As thin as possible - Standard DVD width and height - Most reliable construction - Allow inserts My use is not so much to replace packaging on...

There is a small Contact Us at the bottom of the poll that links to a form where you can express your thoughts on complete sets. Frankly, rude and abusive comments are likely to be counterproductive, whereas if they get a lot of positive support for season sets in peoples' own words it might...

An isolated score would be a nice extra feature on this movie. Cheers, Philip Brandes

Is there a link to the HTF List of EX-encoded titles? Thanks, Philip Brandes

Douglas, You are quite right about that second round of 2-hour episodes being notably inferior to the rest of the series. I don't know what they were thinking--the beauty of the other episodes was the way they stayed so close to the original Doyle stories and yet STILL made them great on the...

Greg: "Where things get tricky is when additional encoding matrixes come into play. .." Careful - in the context of home system playback, it's less confusing to think of these as DEcoding matrix algorithms. Technically, they can also be used for encoding but rarely are--while there are a...

Just by way of technical clarifcation re: Logic 7 - L7 uses matrix-encoded information in a 2-channel Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital 2.0 source to refine its steering porocessing, just as PL II does. - On 2-channel sources, L7 and PL II sound very different. There is much more surround...

Kevin M.: "One of things I noticed different with the MC-8 in the speaker configuration is there's no selection for dipole speakers. In the MC-1 you could choose dipole and it would adjust the output differently (2-3 db's) than a direct radiator. Should I make any adjustments to compensate...

Ian, Thanks for the informative post. It's funny to read about all the issues you raise, because the only time I saw "Simely's People" was when it originally aired on US network TV, and I remember thinking what a disappointing follow-up it was to "Thinker, Tailor..." specifically because of...

Also note the upcoming (June 10) release of "Passion" on DVD. While not as significant as "Sweeney Todd," any Sondheim release is a very good thing. Cheers, Philip Brandes

" I think it would be a waste of money to just use the Lex for movies. " That's just plain silly argument. Logic 7 has just as many unique benefits for movies as it does for music. Its ability to create stereo surrounds from a mono surround channel isn't like anything you heard from your Sony...

John, "I believe if you go back and re-read my last two posts you will see that you misunderstood what I said." Yes, I can see that...a drawback of using the forum's "jump to first unread post" viewing option, I was responding only to your second post out of context. Sorry, Philip

John, The DC-2 and MC-1 were both built on the same underlying architecture, so it's not really relevant that you thought them close. The MC-8 is built on the MC-12 platform, and the differences between it and the older Lexicons are significant in terms of both sonics and features. Kevin can...

Lance, You are confusing matrixed with discrete sources. No one is saying that a matrix decoder will be identical to a discrete 5.1 mix, but that isn't the point. Rather, the most important use for a matrix decoder is for sources for which a 5.1 mix is not available. Consider the case of...

Well, most of the major studio releases in the last 5 years are 5.1. But it's still common to find Indie and foreign films being made in matrixed Dolby Surround. Matrix surround decoding will continue to be an important factor in surround processor performance. Cheers, Philip Brandes

"quote: The majority of dvds are stereo or 2 channel matrixed ? huh, did I miss something. I believe my whole collection is 5.1 at the least ..Im not sure what you mean." Yes, you missed the history of film. Regardless of what you may or may not have in your DVD collection, 5.1...

Tommy, Ricky and others are dead wrong when they suggest that Logic 7 isn't worth the switch if you're only running 5 speakers. On the contrary, the improvement in Left/Right separation is major, even/especially compared to Circle Surround. The comments from Steve Morgan that started this...

Here's a link to a solution that's affordable and very high quality: http://home.attbi.com/~shawnfogg/ Cheers, Philip Brandes

Hi Eric, The 5.1 version of Logic 7 is far less important than the 2 channel version, because it does much less. With a 2-channel PCM source, Logic 7 will create stereo surrounds and a stable steered center channel--its ability to do this well is the reason for its high reputation. With a 5.1...

Hi Brian, You should go with a 7.1 setup, as specified by Dolby, THX and DTS, and the various manufacturers such as Lexicon and Meridian who implement their own processing for 7.1 speaker configurations. 6.1 is inherently psychoacoustically flawed. The reasons and correct placement for a 7.1...

Any word on the release of the next season of 1-hour eps ("Return of Sherlock Holmes")? I think some of the best episodes were in that period, when Brett really mastered the character and before his health began to fail. Cheers, Philip Brandes

Sven, Reversals can occur at any point along the median (center) axis equidistant between the ears; elevating a single rear speaker does not solve the problem. Using more than one rear speaker, however, does--which is why Dolby, THX, and dts all take that approach. Cheers, Philip Brandes

And Meridian--they've also supported a 7.1 speaker configuration for years. It's interesting that these two companies, who are at the forefront of surround decoding technologies, both came to the same conclusion about the number of speakers needed for seamless immersion, a conclusion since...
