    The new Sony DCS-W1

    ...and dont forget the V1's "Hologram AF" for low light photography and its ability to set Aperture or Shutter priority modes.

    "Budget" HT

    According to my wife, too many! :D Seriously though, I probably play an average of an hour/day. Interestingly, I haven't had any burn-in issues on my set.

    ...also, check Rally Sport Challenge 2. It's arguably the prettiest 16:9 racer on XBox and a lot of fun to boot.

    The new Sony DCS-W1

    I recently purchased the W1's innards twin; the P100 (for admittedly petty reasons -- a couple of additional scene modes). So far I’ve been very satisfied with its performance. Particularly, I’ve been really happy with it ability to take pictures on a whim and without delay. Even, its movie...

    Terminations

    I use banana plugs from Radio shack for my receiver connection and 3/5" Audio Quest spades for the speakers. First I crimpled the terminals and further secured the connection with WTB solder. Mainly, I'm using this setup for convenience and durability. As far as I can tell, from my experience...

    directional cables

    I normally associate and impedance mismatch with "return loss". Particularly, such differentails cause the signal to reflect back to the source. You got me on that one.

    directional cables

    Saurav, admittedly, I overlooked that Monster uses twisted pairs for their "unidirectional" cables. However, unlike power cords and XLR cables, where drain wires and/or shields are independent (and the concept could be properly applied), such separation is not possible with unbalanced cables. I...

    directional cables

    Health E, I still remain skeptical after the marketing rhetoric. Noting that I’m familiar with the design of Faraday cages, once again I think this is another ill implementation of a sound physical concept. The foil shields, braids and/or outer conductor in conventional coaxial cables are the...

    directional cables

    "I've always found the concept of directional cables a bit... er... illogical. I may be very wrong, of course. Could someone please explain the scientific side of this? Thanks in advance." Ditto! IMO, this might be another misleading/unfounded/fraudulent claim of the industry. The whole...

    Are Dual Subs really necessary?

    I guess it would depend on the size of you room. In fact, having a plurality of bass sources (subs + full range speakers) could be detrimental in a small room -- e.g., due to interference caused by standing waves and/or cancellation. Such would be a lesser issue in a larger room. IMO, and from...

    Dolby Digital not working properly on HALO...

    It does use the center channel (Cortana's voice every once in a while). It is just a poor implementation of DD.
