    JM Labs electra 927Be review

    I sure wish I could find a nice used set of these Electra 927 Be, or even better, the Electra 937 Be. There is a youtube video of the 937 Be and they sound simply awsome!

    New AVR needed

    My TX-NR809 is still running strong, in my bedroom system. No, it can't pass 4K signal, but you might be able to run a separate HDMI cable from your device to the TV. That's what I do with my Oppo 203 UHD player. I run one HDMI cable to my Denon AVR(which can't pass 4K) and another one to the...

    Theatrical Cyrano (2022)

    Just watched this and I did enjoy it, although I wouldn't put it on the level of Greatest Showman. I actually wouldn't call it a musical because I don't think singing constituted enough of the run time. But I did enjoy Dinklage and Bennett's singing quite a bit. It definitely held my...

    Oppo Releases UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player

    Yep, same with mine, except it has always stuttered on some UHD Blu-ray discs, and won't play some of them at all. Others, it plays just fine.

    So many COSTCO choices for 75”!

    I've been doing a lot of research lately and it looks like it has come down the the Sony X95J. I won't go with OLED because we watch a LOT of cable TV news and sports channels that all have static logos and information bars, and I won't accept the risk of burn-in. The Samsung QN85/QN90 gets...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Star Wars: A New Hope — in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    All I have of episodes 4-6 are my original LaserDiscs(but no LD player) and the 2004 DVD trilogy box set. I guess these 4k versions would be an upgrade! I do have Blu-rays of episodes 1-3, Rogue One, and The Force Awakens. The only UHD I have is Last Jedi.

    Midway (2019)

    I finally saw this a few days ago and there were only five people in the theater. I'd agree with Edwin about the character development, which to me was minimal in the beginning, but did get better as it went along. I thought the aerial action was really well done. I also thought they did a...

    Midway (2019)

    Yes, you nailed what I was concerned about.

    Midway (2019)

    Yeah, I have the Blu-ray and actually watch it about once per year. I just hope they don't PC up this new one and ruin it.

    Midway (2019)

    Must watch for me, as I love WWII movies. I just hope they don't ruin it with PC nonsense. This was a war for survival, and I hope they treat it with the seriousness commensurate with the desperate nature of the war effort.

    Paradigm goes all in on Persona speaker user customization

    I'm not much for their bright colors, but I really like that piano black one!

    Two channel audio thread, because music matters

    Nice. Check out these Legacy speakers I got for my parents around 1990. I don't even remember what the model name was, but I think it was their smallest model. The pictures are of them in my Mom's den, where they have been since I got them for her and my dad. BTW, they still sound great and...

    Two channel audio thread, because music matters

    Yes, the Focus SE, with their additional mid-woofer and two 12 inch woofers really "bring it". Great to hear about how Legacy helped you guys out. BTW, my set of Legacy Audio Signature II(from the 1990s) are still sounding great, although I would really like to upgrade to the newer technology...

    Two channel audio thread, because music matters

    Hmm... make sure to give a good listen to those Legacy Audio Signature SE speakers shown in the above pic! With great pre-amp and power amp, they should sing nicely.

    MRX 720 Anthem

    OK, well then the question becomes, regarding SACD and DVD-Audio playback, will you be doing that over HDMI? Or do you want to use the analog outputs of your player? If you do plan to use HDMI, as I do, does the Anthem 720 do DSD over HDMI and DVD-Audio over HDMI? All my recent receivers...
