My brother and I were in Vegas 2 years ago and had a memorable, if a bit scary, ride. We are outside a casino and get into the cab, within seconds the driver (sounded like an East Cost guy) starts talking a mile a minute, driving really fast, half the time watching the road the rest looking at...

I'd really like to see "Bakersfield PD" on disk, it was a one season wonder in the early/mid 90's that I recall being very funny.

You might also look into the "Gemstone" amp (a review is at Secrets of Home Theater), seems well thought of and good "bang for buck".

After reading this thread I got curious about D-ILA (I'll be in the market for a new big screen soon) and did some web surfing and found a Home Theater Magazine review of the JVC HD61Z575 which was very positive but said the black levels (when viewed in a dark room)weren't very black. So that...

Hi Harris- Thanks for the very informative reply, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Regarding a 2 channel soundcard, I ran across an M-Audio "Audiophile 192" card, do you have experince with this and could this be substituted (with price adjust) in a build? Also, just so I'm clear...

I'm new to the HTPC idea, but was impressed with the review of the 2 Parts Fusion unit. I'm still trying to grasp the real world usage of an HTPC, coming from a CD, DVD,and PVR as separate components. I wouldn't want to turn on my big screen TV to select and play a CD, is using the Uneed x15 (2...

Hi Jim- I've only seen a few pictures on the list, but I would rank Tootsie as a real fave of mine. Saw it recently on TV (after not viewing it in many years) and I thought it was as good as I remembered and has held up very well. I don't purchase many DVDs (fewer now with -I hope- a high...

To Harris_C of 2 Parts Fusion --Hi, I realize this is a subjective judgement, but I have found the quality of sound on my portable hard drive recorder (iriver, recorded at best quality, rock music) to be OK for exercising, but not for critical listening. How would you say your HTPC would compare...

Picked this up as a DVD rental (hadn't heard of it before), it is a surprisingly good horror flick. Very good special effects, well acted, and some good spooks; not very bloody- more of a "something is going to jump out of the dark" type, which is a plus for me. Also has an alternate ending in...

I've read a few reviews (If you go to eCoustics I think I saw a new review there)of the Onkyo unit, it (and the Integra and Marantz 8300) were all based on the Pioneer 47a (not the improved 47ai)and have the chroma bug. I have an Onkyo receiver and was initially interested in this unit to "keep...

Hi Seth v, thanks for the update, your experience seems to tally with the other couple of people on AVS who have reviewed the S2300 (very good SACD/DVD-A, O.K. CD, and somewhat soft video). I would like to get a universal player, but think I will wait to see if CES shows any new players on the...
