    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    Overall An Innocent Man was great. Great hits and a balanced pop album of the early 80's. It's only 2CH SACD. Maybe I liked it more since I tried The Stranger and 52nd Street in Multichannel and personally did not like the surround sound. I put it in 2 ch and sounded much better. I believe...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    With the support for mainstream SACD & DVD-A, my dream of Frontline Assembly and Delerium Hi-Rez releases have gone down the drain. Bummer...:thumbsdown:

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I'd read it before. But single layered Sony SACD's, Sonystyle stopped selling SACD, BestBuy is doing away with SACD & DVD-A in stores (at least in Yuma AZ, Chula Vista CA, and Mission Valley CA, that I've seen) made me say what I said about the format (or formats if you add dvd-a). Maybe as an...

    Does SACD really have a future?

    We recently moved and space has become an issue. My 7.1 setup makes the tv room too crowded and there's really not much space. If you ask me, I prefer a 5.1 setup and even my SACD's are set up to play in stereo only on my denon 2200. For DVD-A, that's another story, but even in this format I...

    I have the R4 Mexico Brazil. Ditributed from Fox and is anamorphic widescreen running 124 minutes. I tried looking for extra copies in Mexico, but it seems to be out of stock.

    Calibrating My Television ...?

    I have a 36" (34" in the US?) Philips CRT HDTV(480p, 1080i). I am experiencing the same problem you've mentioned on the left side of the screen, but it's only present in 480p and it's even more noticeable @ 1080i. We've tried it with xbox games @ 1080i and zenith dvb 318 @ 1080i and it's there...

    more "air," and lower distortion. It'd make sense if it were a leaf blower... :laugh:

    Predator 2 Special Edition is censored!!!

    Anyone remember Robert Patrick's "thingy" noticeable on T2? Was that ever "blurred" from the film or not many people noticed it?

    Rare DTS and/or Anamorphic titles (Brazil R4 NTSC)

    I've seen it in Gigante in Mexico as a Fox Title. Widescreen 2.0 D. Would need to check if it's still around.

    Dialogue Distortion?

    Same here on my JBL EC35. It happens on certain movies, I thought that maybe the tweeter was bad or something but is not consistant with other movies, dvd-a & SACD surround. Also, it is very obvious in dplii with 2.0 or mono dvd's like mickey b&W / donald disney treasure shorts.

    For now, 5.1 surround isn't going to carry any format to market success

    I go to Fry's & Best Buy sometimes just to buy DVD-A & SACD. I'd rather pay for a DVD-A that contains lyrics, videos, interviews, several mixes (like with DTS Entertaninment: DTS, DD 5.1, PCM 2.0, DVD-A). Why would you buy something that only has one track when you can get something like the one...

    What is a Digital Amplifier receiver

    I use a dpr1001 as a preamp and a carver av505 as an amp. I hate the sound on the dpr1001. It also acted up from time to time with with weird sounds coming from the speakers, sounded like something taken out of TRON (no kidding)!

    Funny Bose story

    I love to go to Best Buy. Especially to mock salespeople. Can't wait for the: "find anything you like?" phrase when I'm in there. The funniest one was when I asked for the DVD-A / SACD section and the salesperson asked me if I knew that these were "High Definition" (?) formats. We'll see how the...

    The Fifth Element SE (CONSOLIDATED THREAD)

    Saw this last night. Wow! Instead of crying out for a new format, studios should focus on making quality transfers such as this one. Saw it at 1080i with my zenith 318 and I assume HD would be better, but until a comparison can be made, would image quality be similar or close to HD with...

    DVD's from Mexico???

    After looking though stores, rentals, and even official catalogs at blockbuster and sanborns, I could not find THE GAME DVD anywhere. It should have been distributed by Universal, but nowhere to be found. I am suspicious it even exists in R4 Mexico. I know there is a listing of international...
