Posting here for those not subscribed to the other thread, poker night is a go for Saturday night (4/14) http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...189769&page=19
It is an open invitation. Turns out that Saturday was just booked by my social director. :) For Friday, I have one yes and two 'possibles' in addition to myself.
I'd like to get to 6 or more yes's.
Our stakes are pretty low. It's a friendly game of Texas Hold 'em. I'm usually one of the big...
Wow this is an old thread. :) I posted the invitation on the movie night thread, but am posting here just in case. Was thinking of hosting a poker night on Friday. Any interest? I just realized it is Easter weekend, so folks may have plans. But, if we can gather a critical mass, lets do it...
Was thinking of hosting a poker night on Friday. Any interest? I just realized it is Easter weekend, so folks may have plans. But, if we can gather a critical mass, lets do it. Otherwise maybe next weekend? I have a new poker table that I'd like to break in properly! :)

Paul, the billiard store next to the Bee Caves Lowes had a decent selection of theater seating. I don't recall what brand(s) they carried, but it's a lot closer than San Antonio or Houston. :)
I turned a couple of columns into bass traps. Jonathan measured my room and made recommendations as to the size, location, tuning frequency, etc. I highly recommend his services. I'm thinking of redoing my rack so that it can be pulled out. Currently, my rack looks nice but is a real pain...
I did a search on the Johns-manville website (jm.com) to see if I recognized the place where I purchased my linacoustic. I'm not positive, but give these guys a call... they sound vaguely familiar. BMC West 3400 Steck Avenue, Austin, TX, 78757 Phone: (512) 465-4218 Paul, where in Bee...
Re: ISF, I hired someone from out of town several years back when I had a RPTV. There weren't a lot of local options then. Not sure if anything has changed.
Hi Paul, I can't find my old list of sources for when I built my theater. I do recall that there weren't very many places in town that would carry what you're looking for. It didn't take me long to call around to find the Linacoustic RC that I went with.
Hey Hank -- I've sent a couple of emails your way from my hotmail account with no response, maybe they're blocked by your spam filter? Anyone up for a movie night sometime in upcoming weeks?
To all of the 2-channel gurus out there (Tubes, are you listening?)- a friend of a friend wants to know whether it would be worthwhile to add a processor between a "big ass CD changer" (i.e., relatively low end 300-400 disc changer) and his amp. His budget is $1000. Any advice?
Jonathan, I've been meaning to have a movie night soon. You can check out my AE900 on my Severtson HC Gray screen w/ and w/out a filter on it. I haven't noticed any misconvergence or VB. With my new projector/screen combo, the absolute black levels are night-and-day (haha!) better than my old...
Change me and the missus from 'yes' to 'maybe.' We may have a house guest that would necessitate a change in plans. Sorry for being flakey and definitely don't hold our spot.
Kids, play nice. I'd hate for one of you to do something rash and require my services. Neither of you can afford my rates... particularly after I wipe you out next Saturday. :) Count me in. Mrs. Barrister may be in attendence for at least the pre-game festivities.
I'm not sure, Nils. I don't think that the HDMI 1.3 spec has been finalized. On an unrelated note, I'm also toying with the idea of moving my projector back 5 or 6 feet. If I do that I'll need to get a longer HDMI and component cables. If anyone needs 30' HDMI and component cables, shoot me a PM.
Who needs a good 5x1 HDMI switch on the cheap? I accidentally ended up buying two from Monoprice. http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style= Shipped cost is $143.71. Rather than deal with the hassle of returning it, I thought I'd try to sell it for say $120. Any takers?
Does anyone want my ~ 120" 16x9 1.0 gain white screen? It's matte white screen material from ebay on a DIY fixed wooden-framed screen. I also put on a pretty nice (if I do say so myself) masked border. It'll be a bear to move, but is free to any takers. I'd rather it go to a good home than...
Another fun project - I'm modding my old XBOX to turn into a media server using the open-source Xbox Media Center software. Supposed to be really slick. Does everything but play high definition content. I'll keep yall posted how that goes and may have it done in time for the meet.
My AE900/screen/oppo/ and mount arrived tonight. Haven't had a chance to do anything other than take everything out and screw around with the mount. :D My 1.0 gain DIY screen is still up, so I'm going to try it out on that before switching to the HC Gray ~ 1.0 gain Severtson Screen. I'm...
