    wife hurt at local school, what to do?

    I'd ask the school administration about it but as mentioned reviously, move on. She should be fine although the full extent is ultimately up to the treating physician. I broke my leg on the first day of vacation in the Grand Canyon. After I got home, I was pretty pissed about the whole affair...

    Selling old comic books...

    The act of selling comic books is much like selling vinyl....a tedious process. I'd bulk them out if they were under 50. I just rebagged all 6000 of mine in mylar for the long haul. I sure hope I live that long. Mark

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Unbreakable

    I LOVED this movie! It really felt like a true, old school comic book in regards to the simple origin and eventual discovery that the main character went thru step by step. It wasn't overdone....just bare bones and simple. The last movie he's(MKS) done that was any good but perhaps that will...

    I've got a Kidney Stone!

    I would suggest sleeping on your speakers for exactly one week, while playing an endless loop of Rap music. You will either go insane or be cured. Mark

    Will Theaters Be Extinct In 10-15 Years?

    I've been anti-theatre since I created my own. I just got sick of the noise and people I guess, not a particular theatre. However, there are some movies that HAVE to be seen on the big screen. I have a modest HT so that's the case for me. Transformers was the first movie to get the cobwebs...

    Big Brother 8 Discussion Thread

    My wife and I are BB8 fans. Love it! :D The biggest pet peeve I have right now is Kail's fake smile. I hate that nervous, jaw down, teeth exposed BS smile. ARGH! Mark

    Picking a Polk system.. what would you guys go for?

    The choices you have selected are all over the place in regards to proper application. You should tailor your choices to the room size being covered. I'm a Polk fan, obviously, but you can definetly make the wrong choice within any product line. Do you have any particulars? Mark

    12 Hours to Kill in Vegas - What To Do?

    Eat. There is so much good food around you, grab a local. Well, don't grab them per se but jump in front of them with wild gesturing hand signals and ask where to go eat. Mark

    3D Blu-ray software will never be able to do 1080P 3D

    I'll expect 3D on "regular" television or subscription basis, probably about the time I can't see well anyways. Big deal. There are far more issues to worry about than 3D at this point. Let's start at HEPQ standard and worry about the cool stuff in the process. Regards, Mark

    SACD Reccomendations

    I won't mention what has already been recommended, but my favorite so far, in the huge 10 SACD's that I own....is: Peter Gabriel - Melt I believe it it sometimes referred to as #3. I picked up Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic, just to hear Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion....its...

    ALIEN QUADRILOGY discussion thread (including all the glitches)

    I would love to pick this set up, but it is bound to be too expensive for me to justify. I will probably just pick up the Alien Re-Issue, and start there.

    Horror of horrors! New Annie (1982) Special Edition P&S only!

    I feel extremely ill, knowing that movie still exists. I am sure it is a fine movie for some folks, but now I am stuck humming that crap for the next 2 days. I need an aspirin.

    XM Satellite Radio

    I feel your pain WillG, but either way I like the system and the service. I think that the consumer should have the choice in wether they want a modulator or the cassete kit at point of purchase, but that's a big cost difference. Not all users or installers are like you and I, or Eric, and...

    XM Satellite Radio

    Cool Eric, nice to see another Audi owner :) It wouldn't suprise me if that worked fine, as I have not a single time had a coverage issue unless I completely cover the antenna with both hands. Let me know if this works, I may try it. I have grown attached to my little antenna on the trunk...

    My Sony STR-DA4ES is RUINED!

    Go with above comments on cleaning, your warranty is voided anyhow, fook it. Throw on a ESD strap and get cleaning. ES line does have a 5 year warranty, but they will not honor urine. And they will not "work" with you on repairs or replacement. Its unfortunate, but they aren't a small...

    Denon 2803 vs Marantz 7300

    Good comment, the 7300 is nice, so is the 2803, edge 7300. I personally have never been a fan of Marantz, liked Denon for many years, but they do have alot of substance, just a bad name(IMO) Certainly a strong performer. I know a friend that had a aged Marantz receiver that would play at so...

    Recommend me a seven channel amp for my system please

    I agree with Mike above, those two manu's have some formidible offerings. Rotel with some external, may also fit your bill. I would mentioned the SOny STR-DA7ES, but it looks like you are allready in the hi-end line Onkyo, so the SOny isn't going to offer you much. You mentioned outboards as...

    What Electronics are YOU Interested In?

    Perhaps specific dealer mentions for the ES line for SOny. No mention AT ALL for lower end, its not worth it. Sony ES is top grade and should be given more respect than it normally receives. Its just happenstance that Sony also makes one of the highest selling "low end" lines, don't knock ES...

    Shane - Thanks :) Bob - No problem. It was a analog interconnect from CD to receiver. The cable is impedence specific, 47-100kohms, which fits in with my CD transport output. We took steps to ensure that the settings and volume were the same. I listened to multiple volume settings both of...
