    Iron Man (New Line sets 2005 release date)

    This sounds great. But I must say, I would like to see the release from Marvel of their original Iron Man cartoon on DVD. In fact, I would like to see Spiderman and The Incredible Hulk, as well.

    TRILOGY

    TILL` THIS DAY, ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OR REALLY COMBINATION OF SHORT HORROR STORIES WAS THE "TRILOGY OF TERROR." Though I know there is a II, (Which I have not seen), this is without question the all time classic. With Beautiful Karen Black in all 3 stories, chills abound. Especially, the last...

    Authentic "One Man Bands?"

    Alright, I do remember, and I stand corrected. But, what I really was discussing was his ability to play all instruments and be a one man band himself. Is that not what this thread is about?

    Pre Pro or Receiver?

    It seems an AV receiver is your best bet, combining features and performance in one nice package. I know you say that your not looking for the best, but in this place of firmware updates and HDMI, my suggestion is that you get what you need now. If not, you will only be looking again to upgrade...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    Well, I guess I`m considered a baby boomer at my age, not really sure, but here it is. Just picked up a SACD/Hybrid that I always wanted. Mobile Fidelity`s with their GAIN 2 recording technology, the self entitled 2nd album - "Blood Sweat and Tears." With the classic songs "Spinning Wheel" And...

    Help Choosing a Reciever

    First, I agree with Ennsio. You want to get what you need today, and not be sorry tomorrow. That is why my recommendation is going to be a little different. I feel your pain. Picking the right receiver can be as hard these days as choosing the right PC. HDMI 1.3 is likely as you know, to be the...

    AMPLIFIERS

    From my late high school into my college deejay years, the amps that we all used were Crown, Dynaco, and Phase Linear (now Sunfire). But, once I heard my first McIntosh amplifier, I was done. Oodles of clean, robust power. Great bass, and with their patented auto transformer which allows these...

    What is the Best DVD-R Blank media

    The best, in my humble opinion is the Mobile Fidelity Cds and DVDs. Their UltraDisc UHR GAIN 2. Which is the same disc they use on their HYBRID/SACDs. Clean, almost scratch proof, these discs will perform greatly, and last a while. $4.99 a piece, and worth every penny. Of course, they have...

    Help Building Complete System!

    Paradigm is a great place to start. You have an excellent choice of their home theater speaker systems to choose from. The build and quality are super. All their reviews are positive. I`ve heard them myself, but, buying speakers is pretty subjective. So, I would stay right there. Maybe for...

    Dianna Krall Live - Anyone seen her?

    Interesting. I have not had the opportunity to see her yet here in New York. And after seeing her on her 2 DVD`s, Live in Paris, Live in Montreux, its a little alarming to hear that her shows are running short now. However, I like what you all are saying about Chris Botti. I`m waiting for him...

    Authentic "One Man Bands?"

    One of my favorite artists of all time, has played, and written all the arrangements for all his music at various times, whether live or in the studio, was definitely "Stevie Wonder." Has not done anything really in the last few years, but definitely could run the show himself.

    Spider-Man Live Action

    QUESTION, I `m a huge fan of the Marvel television series of Spidey, The Hulk, Sub Mariner, and the Mighty Thor. I do not know who out there remembers these half hour shows. But, this is where, spiderman, spiderman, theme song came from. I thought I heard that Marvel released the original...

    Frank Zappa, where to start?

    I just recently received my SACD/HYBRID recording of their 2nd self entitled cd, Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Great band and horn section, featuring for you jazz lovers like myself, a young "Randy Brecker." With the classics "And When I Die", "Spinning Wheel", and "You Make Me So Very Happy", I was...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    Hello all, I`m new to this forum. My position is totally different from all of you. For years, the high end or AV industry has wanted an opportunity to have more consumers take that next step up the ladder to our equipment. With the expertise and experience that the high end has, this would be...
