I haven't posed here in some time, though I usually check this thread each week. So a well deserved thank you Mike for taking the time to do the roundup each week! I may have to grab the Kissology II just for nostalgia's sake, & have some info on the bonus DVDs. Btw K-Mart has it for...
Chris, Thanks for the heads up on this one. I ordered over the weekend, & received my order today. I have been using X-10 with a Pronto remote for some time. Great deal on this package! Integrating X-10 with my PC is an intriguing thought. Todd
Jack, My thoughts on the cans I own. Sennheiser PX 200 ($50) These are ok, but a bit thin sounding. They offer a fair amount of isolation & pretty good detail. I did not & would not pay $50 for these though. Grado SR60 ($70) These are open phones. I will never be without these in my...
Etymotic ER-6 Isolator Earphones http://www.etymotic.com/ Pictures Here http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/commun...iew=thumbs&ck= I am the original owner. I guess these are around 2 years old, & in very good condition. I estimate they have somewhere between 100-200 hours of use on them...
I'll 2nd Brian, & especially if audio quality is a priority, EAC & Lame is the way to go. May be a bit confusing at first to set up, but very easy to use there after. Here is a quick set up guide. http://www.ping.be/satcp/cd2mp3-en.htm Also here is a very nice freeware tagging program...
Thanks for the review Adam! This is one of my favorites. I saw it as a child & it just stuck with me ever since. I've always felt the facial make-up was very well done (though perhaps a lil stiff), especially for the time. The old nonanamorhic widescreen version is actually a pretty good...
ScottH I'm a prog guy too, & Metropolis pt 1 is one of my favorite songs. Brian
Great choices! I should have mentioned "When Dream And Day Unite" has some pretty crappy production. Has great songs though. Jason I think Kev had some more interesing choices of keyboard patches as well...
Peter while Metropolis would be the most over the top example, it is not the only song on Images & Words with over the top instrumentation. Take The Time, & Under A Glass Moon also come to mind. In fact Petrucci stated at the time that the solo duel with Kevin on Take The Time was the hardest...
I also give this record a :emoji_thumbsup:
??? Scratching my head here. Images & Words is a definitive progressive metal record. The break on Metropolis for instance is completely over the top. Dream Theater's over the top soloing & huge instrumental breaks have been there from the...
Wow! This is one of my favorite records of last year or in recent years even. It also has fantastic production. If I didn't recently purchase a DVD-A player, I would for this one (assuming it will indeed be a DVD-A title).
My feelings as well Rob. Is it too much to assume with Elliot...
Larry, are you talking about the player downmixing of the 5.1 mix to 2.0? Or the standard PCM stereo track perhaps? Unless I really missed something there is no true stereo DLP mix on mine. Todd
Chris I just added a DVD-A player to my set-up about a month ago (had SACD for a while already). This is the first DVD-A title I went looking for. Definitely among my favorite Queen records. The surround mix on this one is on the aggressive side, & very well done imo. Go for it! Only negative is...
I just watched this one yesterday. Definitely one of the best produced live concert DVDs I've seen. The behind the scenes extras were cool too. Since this was filmed with HD cameras I wonder if it may show up on HDNet inf the future? That would be nice. The DVD looks nice regardless. I also...
I used a couple of the codes, & I think it was the KLSX code that would not honor more than 5 items. I had 7 items in my cart (all in stock), & it would not accept the code. I took 2 out, & then it accepted the code. Maybe it was just a glitch in the system? Anyway plenty enough codes to go...
Joseph thanks for the scoop! I've followed B5 from the first airing of the pilot episode. Sign me up for anything B5 related released on DVD.
Brian, Granted these sets could all be a bit cheaper, but I don't find the B5 season sets priced high. Compared to the near $100 or so street prices...
