    I don't see why anybody is suppourting Dual-y Disc!

    "The CD layer is too thin to be officially spec'ed as a proper "CD". The result of that is, a) because lasers in current players are not meant to focus to the thickness that the CD layer is on a DualDisc, they made the pits larger in an attempt to compensate. Due to that, the CD layer of a Dual...

    "Hiss" Problem

    It almost sounds like an lp being played. You know the sound in between the songs on an lp? It sort of sounds like that. Like what? My lp's are dead silent between songs, its those damn noisy cd's:D

    Rotel or Outlaw?

    Billy - What I found regarding the sonic differences is 1)I really like the 950's clarity/detail for home theater/movie watching as I think its important. For music, I dig the warmth/laid back sound - and I'm getting it in my setup - I have a MSB Link DAC which has a warmer presentation and a...

    Rotel or Outlaw?

    Billy, The price will be greater than the $500 when you buy all the cables separate with option 1. Closer to $800/$900 considering you need 7 cables. Don't sell the Outlaw short too quickly, think about their 30 day return policy. As for the reviews of the Rotel 1066 "sounding better" or a...

    "Its not even funny that Saunders went from a mastermind who had everything pre-planned to the bumbling idiot that drove up to the trap that was waiting on him under the bridge". Nah - he's a cocky sob who thought he could not be caught. You see this same "type" in tons of movies/shows...

    Frasier - Series Finale 5/13/04

    Curiuos as to when he called Bebe(I believe) and accepted the job offer in "San Francisco". How does this tie into him ending up in Chicago?

    24 : Day 3 - 5/4/04 - Hour 21

    "Did anyone notice in the final split screens, they had a small one of Michelle. Did it look like she was walking around to anyone. It looked like that to me". Next weeks preview shows what happens to her (why do I watch them every week? They give away a lot!) On another note, when they...

    Power conditioners and amps

    You should also look at the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet (offers surge protection) and their juice bar(no protection). I plug my Parasound 2205AT into the UO, the juice bar into the UO, and all other equipment into the juice bar. The UO does not limit current, and this approach has worked well in my...

    24: Day 3 - 2/24/04 - Hour 15

    "But why look at those things in the first place? Granted I've never been around a death like that, but if there's no sign of violence, the person was ill, and they died from apparent natural causes, would any kind of investigation be warranted" Easy - the maid said she heard/saw a car...

    Dircet Tv HDTV

    In Los Angeles, we receive HD CBS via Direct TV channel 81 and 82). As I also receive thru my OAA, I hardly have watched watches the DTV offering, however, in brief comparisons of the two, I liked the OAA better.

    Pioneer PRO-530HDi - Should I buy?

    Maybe/maybe not. Go to home theater spot/under manufacters forum/Pioneer and see sticky thread at top. Streaking problem well described there. My set started showing it 2 months after purchase, and I've waited for Pioneer to figure out a final fix (fingers crossed). On my set the "streaks"...

    Pioneer PRO-530HDi - Should I buy?

    Josh - there is a fix kit now available, I'm having my 630 fixed next Friday. My understanding is that this fix definitly has corrected the problem - disclaimer though - its has not been very long since the first few had their sets repaired with this new kit, hence time will tell. From all my...

    24: Season Three observation

    "I can't believe it. Best episode of the season and people are complaining. What this season represents is the third part of a TRILOGY. No one complains when all the characters show up in each Lord Of The Rings film, yet it upsets people to see Nina and Sherry back on the show. What people don't...

    24: Season Three observation

    "it seemed to take him only a few minutes to get there. I've never been to LA but I've heard it's not that easy to get around, even at night" I live in LA and thats not true. Assuming the Pres is somewhere near downtown and Wayne met her round there (looked like a Hotel bar or something)...

    24: Season Three observation

    ..."they had disproved the virus in 4 episodes. Come on, slow stuff down. Build some suspense. The show isnt even half way through and Palmer is one his second problem. Tony was shot and out of surgery and back to work in what 4 hours? Jack went from Virus hunting, to a jail break, to Mexico all...

    ESPN Sunday Night Football

    Both nights looked great on channel 73 for me. On another note, how about Joe Namath's drunken sideline proposal to Suzy Kolber(sp) on Saturday night "I want to kiss you"! Funnest "blooper" type thing I've seen live in my life. He was tanked!!

    Outlaw 950 preamp audio dropouts

    Seperates vs. receiver

    Great choice. I really like my Parasound 2205A amp, but there are many others, including the Rotel. Everyone seems to love the Sherborne(sp) 5 channel amp. If you need 7 channels, Outlaw has 2 to choose from!

    Seperates vs. receiver

    "But I guess what I'm picking up over the past 2-3 hours here is that the Outlaw is not really worthwhile for me to upgrade w/ my current equipment" Ernest - try it you may like it! With the Outlaw 30 day full refund policy, an in-home trial is the way for you to hear and decide. I...

    Crazy to buy a 4:3 HDTV??

    "Just thought I'd mention Tuesday's "24" is in HD. Not many realize this". Actually its not. Fox does not brodcast in HD yet (Jan 2004 I think). What we are getting is Fox "Enhanced TV", which is 480p I belive. Still looks pretty damn good, just about 100% worse than CSI on CBS though. CBS...

    Denon DVD-5900 too noisy?

    "you would have the terrible grinding noise and the vibrating chassis during start up menus, then it settles down to normal". John - thats exactly what my 2900 does during the start of Whale Rider - every time, intro + first 3 or 4 minutes = noise/grind. Stops after that. Never heard this on...

    Denon DVD-5900 too noisy?

    My 2900 has been dead silent for months, except recently - Whale Rider (great movie) the first 5 min. or so the transport is very noisy. After this, silent again. I was able to repeat it, as initially I thought I had disc in wrong. Weird?
