Tombstone

The UofC players can rest easy now. They were worried if Huggins left they would have to start attending classes and actually have to make progress toward earning a degree.

-Lance- I have a Sony A50 that I may be selling as I just ordered a DirecTivo system and will be using that to replace the A50 and my SVR2000. I should be receiving it in the next couple of day so assuming I like it after I get it set up, I will contact you about my Sony.

Hey, thanks for the reminder. I bought a Gateway a little over one year ago and was just charged this month for one month of AOL. I quickly cancelled before it rang up any higher. If I hadn't read this thread, there was a good chance I would have missed the charge on my credit card statement.

Mine would have been "Nick Cherry". Not bad, but my nephew would have been "Buster Cherry". No lie. That one is priceless.

-Steve- I DO live in Phoenix (Scottsdale) and am very interested in one of your two subs and might be able to find a local buyer for the other one. I just took my Paradigm PS-1200 to get serviced and if it is fried I need a new sub and one of your two would be perfect. Please email me at...

I was called out of town on business a couple of days ago and didn't get a chance to post that the receiver has been sold to a local buyer.

I have a three-year-old Sony SAT A-50 satellite receiver that I am looking to sell. I am selling because I just purchased DirecTivo for my main TV. The A-50 is one of the Sony models with dolby digital optical outputs and the sound quality through my home theater system is excellent. Unit is...

Luck is winning the lottery. In football (and sports in general), luck really doesn't play a factor. Hanson missing the field-goal today was not luck (good or bad, depending on if you are a Lion fan or Bear fan) but could have been due to a bad snap, bad placement or bad mechanics. If the...

-Samuel- I would NEVER advocate cutting carbs out of your diet. The rule of thumb is to eat 2/3 "wet" carbs (fruits & vegetables)and 1/3 "dry" carbs (whole grain breads, potatoes, oatmeal, etc.). Your serving size of proteins and carbs should be about the size of your palm (unless you're...

-Samuel- What has worked best for me is doing about 20 minutes of interval cardio training 4-5 times a week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I have dropped my body-fat from 9% to 6% in four weeks. Obviously, dieting plays a big if not the biggest part of dropping body-fat. Try...

Being a D-Backs season ticket-holder, I have to go with the home team. However, would I bet hard-earned cash against the Yankees? Not a chance. In a seven-game series the best team ALWAYS wins. Time will tell. ------------------

Notre Dame and Michigan both have great fight songs, but neither hold a candle to the greatest of them all, On, Wisconsin, fight song of, naturally, the University of Wisconsin. Of course, since I am a UW grad, I might be a little biased. I was at a high school game in Arizona a few weeks ago...

I would also guess that it has something to do with the fact that most consumers own 4:3 televisions. Face it, widescreens are still in the vast minority but I'm sure the gap is closing fast. ------------------

I have a Sony Dolby Digital satellite receiver, a Sony SVR-2000 TiVo unit, a DVD player, CD player and VCR all running through my Denon AVR-3801 A/V receiver. When I watch live TV or playback recorded shows through TiVo, the audio is very strong through my right speaker but very faint coming...

This IS NOT a chain email. -To All- In the past 30+ hours, I have received many, many e-mails from people across the country regarding the World Trade Center and Pentagon tragedies. Most are in the form of prayer chains honoring the victims and their families or the popular newspaper...

I purchased a Sony SVR-2000 today and I am looking into incorporating it into my existing home theater setup. I have searched on this site, checked the Sony owners’ manual and called Sony customer service, and was unable to find a solution to my problem. I am trying to find the proper way to...

I am looking at purchasing a Philips or Sony Tivo unit. I'm not too fond of Philips quality and have always been partial to Sony electronics but I can't get past the silver color of the Sony unit (all the rest of my components are black). It would stick out like a sore thumb. Also, I was...

Last week, "Hard Knocks" was unwatchable with all of the audio break-up. Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I didn't figure my reciever was bad because all other channels were fine. BTW- How do you turn off the DD option on the reciever? I'm sure I will figure it out...

-Rob_C- Was/is there actually a movie out called "Ed Gein"? Being a Wisconsin native and learning all about the "the ghoul of Plainfield" while growing up, I can't believe I would have missed it. I clearly recall all the details and I remember reading a book on his atrocities growing up but I...

I have the opportunity to pick up some NIB Mission 773e's (fronts) and a 77C1 (center) dirt cheap and was hoping to get some feedback from forum members before I purchased them. I have read all the reviews on audioreview.com but wanted to get more feedback from forums, whose judgement I trust...

Can anyone explain to me i(in layman's terms) exactly what DPLII (ProLogic II) is and how it will enhance my system/sound? I currently have a Denon 3801 and am very happy with it but a friend has offered to take it off my hands at a great price if I decide to purchase a 3802. I'm not willing...

I bought my 360 back in January/February so based on this thread it is inevitable I will be replacing this model in the next six moths or so. Thankfully, I only paid about $ 140 at Best Buy but it should last longer than a year or so. I'm suprised Sony would build something that is obviously a...

My viewing mix is currently 70% DSS (sports, movies, network programming) and 30% DVD's so I don't think a 16.9 TV is for me right now. I have no plans on upgrading to an HDTV reciever in the next few years when it is more widely available so I think the Sony KP53HS10 will be a good stop-gap...

-Michael- Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely check out that link. ------------------

Thanks, Jim & Abdul, on your replies. Abdul, I went to Costco and asked about warranty issues and the person on the floor conceded that there might be difficulties persuading Sony to stand by its warranty if I purchased from Costco. Your reply was very helpful and gave me insight into some...

-All- I originally posted this in the "TV and Projectors" area but I think it belonhs here. I am looking at upgrading from my 35" Sony (not a Wega) and was reading some very positive reviews about the Sony KP53HS10 at audioreview.com. Is anyone out there an owner or familiar with this set and...
