It's been out a while, I'm (slightly) surprised no one else has started a thread on this yet. I never played Rock Band, so this is my first experience with drums. I must say, bashing on toy drums is even more fun than I thought! I've always thought that with anyone who likes rock music, there...

As title suggests, any recommendations as to what steering wheel I should get for use with a PS3? I've seen recommendations for the Logitech G25, but that sucker is expensive! Also, I'm not sure why 900 degrees of turning is touted as a big selling point: I was playing in an arcade recently...

My wife was told she had "won" a S$3,000 (just under US$1,900) shopping spree, which turns out to be at woarewards.com but we (both of us!) have to attend a 2-hr talk where the "sponsor's services" will be introduced to us, and at the end she also stands a chance to win S$10,000 cash or a small...

I just received mine. Ugh. I hate those "double disc" trays where they overlap, i.e. if you want the lower one, you have to remove the upper one first. What was wrong with the booklet-style 6 single-tray configuration they used in the previous seasons? The booklet also seemed oddly...

What a bizarre race. For those not in the know, Michelin tyres were failing miserably in pratice and qualifying, and Michelin advised its teams that they could not guarantee the tyres would hold up to the strain of the banked turn going into the home straight, and therefore that Michelin runners...

Trivia test of where you've seen those character actors (e.g. Clint Howard). http://scottsmind.com/wherehave.php Apologies if it's been posted before; I don't remember seeing this before on HTF.

I currently have a Marantz 9500 on loan from a dealer. So far, the PQ is excellent, save for mosquito noise during end credits or text screens of movies (e.g. opening sequence of Gladiator). Since mosquito noise is said to be an MPEG compression artefact, is this normal even on a high-end...

I ask because someone on a Singapore-based forum I also visit has already got one and has given preliminary comments on it. See this "review" as well:- http://www.highfidelityreview.com/ne...umber=14721780 Although it seems to consist mostly of Denon's own press release to me. From a...

I was catching a re-run of Law & Order season 8 last night. Richard Belzer a.k.a. Munch, then still with Baltimore police, guest-starred, and the New York detectives visited Baltimore as well, so I guessed the episode might be a crossover with Homicide: Life On The Street. After extensive...

This is apparently a true story of what happened when someone got a new cellphone, and the number used to belong to a celeb... http://www.laurasnyctales.com/current/chris-rock.html (Apologies if it's already been posted)

I read in the local papers that Gary & Martin Kemp, Kohn Keeble and Steve Norman are talking about reforming (sorry, pun intended :D ) Noticeably absent was Tony Hadley's name. I wonder if it's because in that disastrous lawsuit a few years ago, perhaps Hadley was the ringleader and Norman...

Anyone familiar with this? http://member.melbpc.org.au/~lborret...g/petals-j.htm Absolutely infuriating. And in case you're wondering, no, I'm an idiot and still haven't figured it out.

http://www.2cool.net/2CFVids/dog1.mpg Is this what they sort-of mean when they talk about a "dog-eat-dog world"? Or should I say, "shoot first talk later"?

A rather bad pun:- John had a new dog, but he didn't want to deal with puppies so he got her fixed. However, some how the gal still got pregnant, and even had identical twins! The media loved it and soon she was a celebrity. John wrote a book about her entitled, "Two Dachshunds in...

Help! As title suggests, the headphone jack (or more accurately, the adaptor from the mini-jack to full-size jack) broke off in the socket of my amp. It broke just at the lower of the two "lines" of the jack/adaptor, leaving the tip stuck inside the socket. Hence, the amp thinks there's a...

Yesterday evening I was rearranging my stuff, to accomodate a CD player. In so doing, I completely disconnected my DVD player, a Pioneer DV655 (universal), shifted it, and hooked it up again. After completing all connections, I found that the thing wouldn't power up, i.e. hit the power button...

once again I find I need to decide between R1 and R2 of a Star Trek series. previously with TNG I went with R2, partly due to the nice plastic clam-shell casing, partly because it was actually a fair bit cheaper (via amazon.co.uk). now that the pound has appreciated and I've discovered...

this is old stuff, but a friend asked if Dark Frontier was set before or after the movie First Contact. I am not sure myself and can't remember the stardates involved, but believe that Dark Frontier is probably after FC. in any case, Voyager's finale is undoubtedly set after First Contact...

I just wanted to say to everyone, have a Merry Christmas! (or Happy Holidays, as the case may be) it's been a rough year work-wise, but I want to thank everyone here at HTF for making the forum a pleasant distraction from work (yes, yes, I surf at work, guilty as charged...) special thanks to...

anyone remember this hoary old chestnut from the 80s? the song was just played on the radio and it got me thinking about it again. at the time it came out, there was a lot of hoo-ha about the fact that the lyrics were in fact a riddle, with an actual solution, and in an interview Kershaw said...

my question to the EE's out there is, does an amp draw the same power regardless of volume level, or does higher volume level draw more power? I'm wondering because it seems to this non-EE (I did high school physics but that's about it) that volume would be regulated by a variable resistor, so...

anything in particular I should look out for in buying one? I am thinking of splitting the RF "aerial" entering my living room into two, one to connect direct to the TV, and the other to the cable tuner box, so that I can still use PIP when at least one is terrestrial TV. I've seen a S$6...

no, not a typo, my SVS25-31PCi was tuned to 22Hz. I finally fired it up and gave it a proper workout after it sat in my office for almost a month supplementing my miserable mini-compo -- excellent results, though, the bass was much better and right now in the office the system sounds so...

Is there any convention as to how much money one should spend on each component for a "balanced" system? e.g. in hi-fi, conventionally some might say that of the entire budget, say $1,000, spend 10% (i.e. $100) on cables and accessories, and split the rest equally (i.e. $300 each) on source (CD...

just got an email from ezydvd.com.au informing me that the R4 Galactica set has been delayed. see this link for Universal's press release sigh :frowning:

anyone out there have the Mission 782s? or for that matter the big-brother 783s? I've been thinking about getting the Mission cinema 8-series, but today a friend brought me to another shop, where the sales rep told me the Missions weren't good for HT. he claimed that because the cones are...

with Arsenal beating Manchester United 1-0 last night at Old Trafford, they have now been crowned the Champions for 2001/2002!!! YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!! :D :D :D :D :D just wanted to get that off my chest. not that I think many on this forum share my joy... ;)
