    The Devils

    I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that once everyone who is interested in this movie spends money on the DVD, the blu-ray will be announced shortly after that.

    Does gore in horror film show a lack of ability and talent?

    In the case of Friday the 13th, it also takes ripping off the superior Bay of Blood. 9 out of 10 times you can only take these review sites so seriously and even less so when it tends to be a site that is not very knowledgeable or focused on any one genre. If the makers of Sole Survivor decided...

    80's Slasher movies on DVD

    The 2000 release was cut. You can read about it here http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=741327 Mondo Macabro is a pretty decent label. They've released classics like Alucarda and Satan's Blood and entertaining trash like Lady Terminator. Oh and they released Hell's Ground which was a...

    Need some recommendations for an all region, NTSC / PAL dvd player

    hello, I am currently looking for a DVD player that can easily be changed to play all regions, does very good PAL to NTSC conversion, upconverting through component outputs, de-interlaces preferably (like the Oppos used to do), excellent picture and just an overall solid quality player. Blu...

    question on speaker cable replacement and recommendations

    Thanks to the both of you. So this monoprice place makes their own cables? They definitely seem priced really low which is a good thing. I will check out the other two links in a bit. So lastly, it doesn't or shouldn't make a difference if my cables don't match then?

    question on speaker cable replacement and recommendations

    Hello, Ok I have a sort of odd and probably dumb question. I recently moved so I now have more space to spread out my speakers and equipment. However the spot where I want to place my rack would be too far from my mains and center channel speaker (Paradigm 7's and a CC370) so I would need...

    question on subwoofer isolation riser and subwoofer

    David, So you definitely do hear a difference then? That's good to know. I looked up your sub, and that thing is pretty big. I just want to know if I'll be ok with the 15x15 riser or would I really have to invest in 2 of them for them to work properly.

    question on subwoofer isolation riser and subwoofer

    I'm not %100 sure of this since I never used one of these risers but from what I understand and read it helps reduce some of the hum and vibrations caused on hardwood floors etc. I never had the need for one but I am now living on the top floor above someone and it's hardwood floors. Reading...

    question on subwoofer isolation riser and subwoofer

    hello, I am considering buying a subwoofer isolation riser from Auralex but have a question. My sub, which is an Adire, is approximately 16x18 and the riser is 15x15, unless I get the larger one which is not only too large but also way more expensive. So basically my sub will be hanging off...

    Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary DVD set...question on mono mix

    Hello, I apologize for starting a new thread about this but going through some of the older threads it seems this wasn't directly addressed. Is the mono track on this genuine mono or is it a downmix from the 5.1? I have been told by one person that it is not genuine mono but still would like...

    components on top of receiver, good or bad??

    Hello, Out of sheer curiousity, is it recommended to sit a cd player or any similar component on top of a reciever? Most receivers have the vents on top and I figured it is better not to have something obstructing air flow, however is it bad to sit a component on top anyway? Thanks in advance

    What should I look for in a cd player?

    I understand that a $500 player compared to a 150 player will probably be way better but then is it really worth the jump from a Sony $100 player to an Onkyo $200 player??

    Best Receiver for under $500?? help

    Hey Chad, I too get those popping sounds on some movies. This is usually during the layer change. It doesn't happen too much but once in a while it will which is making me want to get a different reciever as well. The other problem is with certain films, during explosions or what have you...

    Samsung TXM-3096WHF vs. HCM-4215W

    Hey Aurel, Be aware the 3096/3097 Samsung 30 inch sets do have a problem picture wise. They have these transparent lines that go down the middle that are more apparent if you were to turnup the brightness. Samsung denies knowing of any such problem and technicians were clueless on what to do...
