    Watts Per Channel Question

    If he's lucky. Most mass market receivers tout large numbers but when proper measurements are taken they don't deliver in the moments of a soundtrack or album when it counts. I used to have a Yammy RXV800 that was rated at 100w per channel RMS...but I took some output measuremenst one time...

    Thoughts on NAD quality

    Hey Lars, and everyone else reading this thread. I thought I would share some photos of my new NAD m25 with you. I always see people with their dogs in the picture, so I figured I would do the same. I guess it adds some scale. Out of the box....plus the dog again. Top view. The...

    Thoughts on NAD quality

    Lars, There are new models coming. They are all the same as the non-HD counterparts except they now encorporate the new lossless audio formats and in the case of the T175HD processor and T785HD receiver have Sigma Designs VXP studio quality broadcast video processor. NAD has four new AV...

    Thoughts on NAD quality

    Hi Lars, NAD experienced some QC issued about 5 years ago. It was with a specific line and they not only rectified the issue subsequent models and overhauled their QC areas because of it. I sell NAD at my store and have nothing but high praise for their build quality, reliability, and...

    NAD 765 vs ARCAM 280 vs Yamaha 1800

    This might be coming in a bit late but I guess this might help anyone who is in the same position with a purchase dilemma. I personally cannot speak for the ARCAM, I do not sell that one. But I do carry Yamaha/Denon/Pioneer Elite, as well as NAD. To make it short and sweet. Pick the NAD...

    Comparrison: Pioneer VSX-01TXH - Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K

    When I look down the specs chart from pioneers website I see a few glaring differences. 1. Power ratings. Elite give you full disclosure 20-20k, 8ohm, while the regular line gives 1khz rating...don't like that right off the top for the 1018. 2. Elite line has Faroudja 1080p...

    Batman Begins Part III

    Title - Gotham: The Hunt for Batman As for recasting the Joker, my heart says no, but my brain says yes, because I think another stellar actor could pull it off. Think Daniel Day Lewis (though I doubt he would). As for Villans, anybody BUT the Penguin and Catwoman. To cartoony and make me...

    *** Official SUPERBAD Review Thread

    I've been inner hyping this movie to myself for the last 4 months ever since I first saw the theatrical trailer on HDNet. And it blew my expectations out of the water big time. Favorite parts (that I can remember between all the laughing) were: The two cops reaction to McLovin taking down...

    *** Official HTF HD Formats Comparison Thread *See Post 957, p. 32*

    I agree completely with the purchasing of titles. I have not purchased any titles that I own on DVD and am focusing on titles that I do not own and all new releases are in HDDVD. The only titles that I WILL rebuy down the road are Gladiator, LOTR, SPR, Shrek, Pixar stuff.

    Official HTF HD Review: Hot Fuzz (HIGHLY Recommended!)

    I am all for the combo formats. I have not experienced one single issue with them and I am willing to pay the extra $4 on it because then I can use it in my portable dvd player, and in the car, and I can let my bluray buddy borrow it to watch the DVD side. I think to boycott the title simply...

    I would also like to recommend the Bourne series. I currently have the Bourne Supremacy and it is one fine disc, full of extras, great picture and awesome sound. And listen to the PiP commentary too, great track.

    PiP commentaries that are must watch

    I just throught I would start a discussion thread pertain to some of the great PiP commentary tracks that HDDVD (and hopefully soon Bluray) are offering. As most of us know, '300' comes out on 31/07/2007 and will feature PiP commentary track that is supposed to be excellent. I for one am...

    HD DVD Quick Review-The Bourne Identity

    Thanks for the review, I plan on picking this up again (had it on dvd). To be completely honest I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but I had no idea what it was about when I first watched it on a blind buy. I have recently picked up Supremacy and completely loved it so I think I will...

    Why Columbia House will help HD-DVD over Blu-ray

    Oh probably, they try to own a piece of everything so that all business focus is directed at their products.
