    Hank and Greg, Since I am uncertain of when I will be able to make it to the meet right now, I would like to ask you guys to send me an email with directions to both your places, so that I can be a late arriver. Hopefully I will be able to hit Hank's house for the DIY part and the new speaker...

    Hank, please do the DIY treatment part still. As I said before my room just doesn't really need them nor do I have a spot for them currently. But, I definatley want to observe and take notes for the day when I am ready to build some. I'll take good DIY room treatments over spending hundreds...

    I wanted to post a link to review about the Walker Audio Valid Points, which I purchased. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazin...alkervalid.htm The damn things work I just wish they were not so expensive. It definately helps out my Theta Dac, a slight improvement when underneath the Bryston...

    Hank, I got to compare the Tara Labs Prism AC cable last week vs. stock AC cable. To me out of all the tweaks Brian and I installed I think the power cord for my Theta DAC was the most subtle. It was hard for me to pinpoint any changes, except an overall feel of more weight, more beef to...

    Thanks to Greg and Colin, hope you both had a good time. Nice quick comparison review there Colin, I agree. Personally, I am of the belief when the Air tIght is in action my system is not doing to much wrong, and I have a feeling that any improvements would be very very minor if any thus...

    Mark I haven't heard yay or nay from you. I believe you have my phone number call me if you are interested in coming over, since it seems your email is in a funk. Looks like we will be getting together around 7pm instead of 1pm now. Scott

    Man, c'mon guys no one wants to take me up on my offer. I feel selfish getting to listen to all this stuff and not able to share it. Someone help me out, I would really love to have a listening partner or two this weekend. Ha, the above sounds like I am a hooker or something after reading it...

    Hank is hosting on May 11th the DIY Room Treatments + Listen to some new speakers portion. As of right now it looks like we will meet for lunch at the Iguana Grill beforehand. We still need to set a time for this part. However, the projector shoot-out is still in the air, because no one has...

    I want to learn how to build some DIY room treatments, but actually my current set-up has really good room acoustics. Carpet, furniture, stone fireplace and lots of shelving with books so I don't have to many plain bare surfaces. But definately wnat to learn the process for the future. Ok now...

    I think since there is not too much action on this thread and no one yet has dissented to this, and at the very least I am backing your hosting of the DIY portion, then it is approved. Hank you ready for us! Are those behemoth speakers still going to be set-up for the meet? I think meeting...

    To further Fredrick's question about meeting somewhere other than a house. Any apartment dweller's in the group, I've toured a newer apartment complex in the past that had a media room with theater style seating, but this was in Houston. Anyone live in an apartment with such amenities here...

    Oh sorry about the misunderstanding, Hank. I didn't grasp a hold of having the projector meet on the same day, but that will work too. Of course we still have to have someone volunteer to host the projector shoot-out, whether that ends up being the 11th or another date is secondary. As for me...

    Hank should be posting soon to confirm this if not before. He and I have talked on the phone and come up with the next meet to be held on May 11th at Hank's place. Hank has Danny Ritchie coming down to pick some newly finished and designed GR Research tower speakers that Hank can tell you...

    So why does this need to double blind test not apply to projectors? Anyhow, I plan on contacting Brian Kurtz of Sound Mind Audio this week and hopefully he will agree to bring some amps (YBA, Rogue Audio, McCormack) over to my place for a demo on either May 4th or 11th preferably. Those of...

    On the cable acessories or whatever comparison, personally I didn't have in mind a double blind test. Doing that would be completely boring, unreasonable for a large group to participate in, and completely boring. But, I do think doing a switch between two components giving each component a...

    No need to apologize Steve, especially since this is the Home Theater Forum and video is a big part of it. As far as what HTA is, I have no idea, and Nils that would be great if we could get are hands some of there vast array of front projectors for a shootout whether this meet or a future...

    Does anyone know a dealer who would be willing to let us borrow a projector. I doubt you would have any takers, which leaves the forum members as the only ones who can supply projectors for a shootout. I know of 2 people that own a projector in our group, Colin and Greg. Who's projector was...

    Ok Ok I'll start us off on a new thread. It has been suggested that we do something again in May. Lets start throwing out some ideas. I personally would like to do an in-home demo of some equipment at someone's house. Like for me I am interested in 2-channel amps right now. It would be...
