I was tweaking my sub tonight and I noticed that when really low notes were being played the entire cabinet of my television was vibrating violently, as in about 1/4" of deflection, and this was on the side of the television. This happens around 25Hz and below and does cause a very minor...

$350 - Local Pick Up only.

Boston VR950 up front Boston VR10 center SVS 20-39 PCi "old" driver Old JBLs from a kit for the rears Just haven't had the rear speakers pop up on the priority list, too many other toys get in the way.

Unfortunately the copy that NetFlix sent me played just fine on my PS3. Fortunately, my wife has the same feeling I do towards that movie, so I should never have to watch it again.

Yup, I stood in line this morning to get a Wii. Toys R Us had 33 and about 50 people showed up. Luckily I was #15 in line. Bring on Duck Hunt, that was one of my favorite games for the NES.

Yup, lots of us ditched not-so-old tvs due to buying PS3s. Shame too, because I used to like that old HDTV. I laugh when people complain about the $500 - $600 price tag of the PS3, throw a 65" DLP on top of that $500 "bargain" 20GB PS3.

new lower price.

I am selling my 40" HD-Ready Toshiba CRT-based rear projection TV. The model number is 40H80 and it will accept 480i, 480p or 1080i signals on the Component video inputs. This is the perfect size CRT-RPTV for an apartment as it is only about 18" deep and only weighs about 140lbs. The television...

Well bummer. I was really hoping for a quality 2.0 mix of that piece and I really don't want to downmix it in my player so I guess I will have to settle for the 5.1 mix. Oh well, 5.1 is the only way my sub will make any sound with a DVD-A right now anyway.

I just recently made the jump to DVD-A and I am having a problem with one of the discs I bought. I thought maybe one of you guys had run into the same problem. The disk is Dvorak: Symphony #9 on the TelDec label. Player: Toshiba SD4900 The disc packaging states that there is both a 5.1...

Whether or not your picture is on the card the merchant cannot ask for an ID, unless the response from the machine comes up as "Call for Authorization" and the person on the other end of the phone asks them too. Citibank was big on flagging accounts as "call" when their automated fraud system...

Well, depending on your contract with the hospital it is possible there is nothing you can do about it. Unless the contract specifically states that you retain full copyright and full control over the site it will probably be considered a "work for hire" by your states laws. If that is the case...

I am typing this on a Dell Inspiron 4150 with a 14.1" SXGA+ (1440 X 1050) screen. The 14.1 is only slightly smaller than the viewable area on most 17" monitors, and I always push a 17" to 1280 X 1024. I am a programmer (Microsoft-centric) and I have no problems with this screen. I would go...

Step 1. Go out and buy a digital cable (either coax or optical) to connect your DVD player to your receiver. You will not get Dolby Digital or DTS wit RCA cables for the left and right. Step 2. Set your receiver to "digital" for the DVD hookup. Step 3. (Optional) Set all your speakers to...

17" X 7 " wheels are going to run anywhere from $150 on up per wheel. I can't help you with those, as they are more a matter of personal taste than anything else. If you want chrome you will be spending at least $250 per wheel. These will change the way the car handles, it will be a slightly...
