    squeaky wheel gets the Yamaha S2300

    I've had my 2300 for a couple of weeks now and I just love the hell out of it. The sound, the PQ, the build quality, I just couldn't be happier. I've been listening to DVD-A for a while now, but the 2300 gave me my first tastes of SACD and it's every bit as impressive. Until HD-DVD comes out, I...

    Universal Players

    Whatever the Yamaha measured in its S&V review, through first-hand experience I can tell you I haven't noticed any noise issues at all. The only thing better than the audio quality on the S2300 is the video quality. I've run through my DVD-Audio, SACDs and CDs since getting the S2300 and all...

    NYPD BLUE better for the cast changes?

    Yeah, but take a look at Connie lately, especially this season. Is it just me or have they significantly lowered her beauty quotient? Every week she looks a little more unkempt instead of drop dead gorgeous. Mussed hair, sweats, I think they toned down her good looks. And let's not forget...

    Betamax for consumers: RIP

    Well at least Betamax had a longer shelf-life than D-VHS will. Get ready for a similar story about that format's short-lived lifespan once HD-DVDs hit the shelves in a year or so. Of course, that's just my opinion anyway...

    HD Tivo???

    According to this month's "Sound and Vision" a Tivo rep said they expect to have HD recordable boxes by late 2003. There was no mention of price or hard drive size.

    The RP82 is really good

    Actually just sent my RP-82 back to Crutchfield today and opted to stick with the Toshiba SD-4800. I'd planned to keep the Panny, but the more side by side tests I did, the more I realized that there was very little if no difference in PQ. Video did look a tiny bit better on the RP-82, but not...

    Why no 'Six Feet Under' thread?

    I recorded it with my UltimateTV box from HBOWest at midnight because I had to watch 9/11 live. I watched SFU this morning and I agree with the original poster, it was an enjoyable episode. This is my third favorite shown on TV now (Sopranos, NYPD Blue) and judging by the upcoming previews...

    "9/11" -- CBS -- March 10

    I apologize for having to have the administrator remove some of my original post due to its political content. I did not mean to offend anyone that read it before its removal. Please accept my apologies.

    "9/11" -- CBS -- March 10

    Last night's 9/11 special was more than a fantastic, tasteful documentary to me - it was therapeutic, as I'm sure it was to many others. I will not pretend to know what it's been like to have lost a loved one in that terrible attack, because I did not. But that doesn't mean it hasn't effected me...

    Friends 3/07/02 (spoiler)

    I'm guessing you heard no applause because Alec Baldwin lost any and all star cachet, oh, about five years ago. It might has well have been Billy or Stephen up there. Political discourse on Alec Baldwin deleted. In the future, please refrain from bringing up politics to the discussion table...

    YES Network/DirectTV?NY Yankees

    Actually, Murph will do about 60-80 games or so on the radio this year. The guy coming in is Ted Robinson, and yes, he's good. He did SF Giants games and also does Stanford football. He'll also be doing some TV. Murph is a legend, but his time has come. Between his coughing and garbled speech...

    YES Network/DirectTV?NY Yankees

    Guys, guys, guys...You're missing a very simple way around this problem. You won't need YES, you wont' have to listen to John "Let Me Tell You About My Boring Life Between Every Pitch of the Game" Sterling or Charlie Steiner, you won't have to listen to Suzyn "Georgie Girl" Waldman cry and whine...

    Forgive me please, but could you help me with my speakers?

    Before last Christmas, my home theater experience consisted of a Triniton turned up real loud, so forgive my ignorance here... Anyway, to make a long story short, I have a Yamaha RX-V620 receiver and Polks all around. My question concerns my two main Polk RT600i and the receiver. As I said...
