| About the DTS thing, I think American Beauty and The Rock: Criterion Collection default to DTS and you have to change them to Dolby Digital in the sound options menu. |
And I agree, the Penny Blossom was great. I love it when shows are smart enough not to just drop things that were plot points in one episode when they move on to the next.

Of course, these are the same people who talk about "rocket science" as though it were an actual science and not just a branch of engineering used by real scientists to get their instruments into space. So I'm probably expecting too much.[/Sheldon]

Thanks for playing, though. | ...many current Blu-ray discs default to DTS-HD audio. |

I know how much flack Bose gets around here but I heard a demo of one of their systems in one of their dedicated HT rooms and it sounded damn good! It was overpriced as usual but I can't deny how it sounded. |

You'd tell her it was just fine and you'd help her get the most out of it, just as you'd tell her that her cooking was great even if she served you lasagna that tasted like cardboard and library paste.)

But, seriously, now does a demo create an "illusion" of good sound. It really sounds crappy in the demo, but they somehow fool you into thinking it sounds good? No. It does sound good in the demo. It may even sound good in your house - although you could have bought something that would have sounded better for the same money or less. Or it may sound crappy in your house. Just like any other sound system you listen to in a store. Again, I am hardly pimping for Bose, but I don't think arguments should be based on blind prejudice and the denial of reality.
