"Yi Yi" from Criterion Great news for fans of the film, particularly those of you who missed out on Starmax's release from about 5 years ago (the only worthwhile NTSC transfer). Fox Lorber's DVD is one of the worst transfer atrocities ever, ranking down there with their "RAN" release. But...

So, this is the first full season for which I have HD service (got it right before the Series), and was I pleasantly surprised to see the Yanks/Sox game in HD last night! :) Formerly, every show I'd seen on NESN over the past few months, including pre-season games, talk, and outdoors stuff...

I'm a very reliable and fast trader (a longtime DVD Talk Gold Trader) looking to sell/trade the following DVDs, DVD-As, and SACDs: FOR SALE/TRADE ANNIE HALL - MGM R2/PAL 16x9 anamorphic $11 AU HAZARD BALTHAZAR R0/PAL 16x9 anamorphic $13 THE MAGICIAN (Tartan Ingmar Bergman Collection) -...

Like many of you, I was disappointed when MGM released the first Woody box, and ported over the old non-anamorphic transfer of "Annie Hall". It's my favorite Allen film, my wife's favorite, and possibly yours. I definitely want it in the best available format, and now that I've got a widescreen...

Will someone please relate the ending (spoiler-cloaked, naturally)? I'm curious, but not so much that I'd spend time/money to catch it at the theater.

As reported today in High Fidelity Review: It still surprises me how little this band is known. Here's the intro to their AMG Bio, in the hopes that it elicits some interest: "The quintessential American power pop band, Big Star remains one of the most mythic and influential cult acts in...

As part of a huge order at DDD, I got the Beatles Anthology Boxset as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She has since discovered that the first disc won't play at all after Chapter 9 of the first episode (there were no scratches or smudges, but we cleaned it and tried it in three different...

My wife and daughter are really interested in getting some iPods, and I also think they look fantastic. We've only got Windows-based PCs, none with Firewire connections. Any reason NOT to get iPods? Would the 10GB model be sufficient (is it still on the market)? What about the mini...

Hi Friends and Neighbors, I'd like to make a bulk purchase of import SACDs (at least a few titles to keep down shipping costs), and I'm wondering if anyone's found the following for a good price: Roxy Music "BEST OF" (already have the wunnerful "AVALON") Groove Armada "VERTIGO", "LOVEBOX"...

I was must browsing HMV-Japan, and searched the Miles catalog... 44 SACD titles, including such wunnerful albums as "ESP", "Someday My Prince Will Come", "Nefertiti", "Bitches Brew", "Seven Steps to Heaven", etc. etc. Am I the only one who's unaware of these? How do they sound? I found a few...

All 5 of Matthew Barney's "Cremaster" films are currently being screened at museums in several cities, including the MFA in Boston and the Guggenheim. The centerpiece is the last of the films in the cycle, "Cremaster 3" http://www.cremaster.net/crem3.htm (no, I don't know why "3" was the last...

I haven't been living under a rock and I've been collecting SACDs since last Fall... so why in the world had I no idea that there was not one, but two EW&F releases on SACD??? Anyway, I stumbled upon this little fact today, and realized that there's practically zip about these releases...

I'm considering adopting the following Manifesto: Every studio producing music SACDs and DVD-As should encode full range signals to all 5 primary channels, and never redirect any bass content away from those 5 primary channels to the so-called "LFE" channel.* Bass management should be...

EXPANDED LIST OF UPCOMING SACDs in 2003: This is not a comprehensive list, but rather an ongoing repository of "highly anticipated titles" by forum members. What are you looking forward to? Post it and I'll be happy to add it! :star: = newly added/changed/updated RECENTLY RELEASED...

How is/are it/they? Recommended for a fan of Bowie's HEATHEN... or too mannered and sterile for a rock-n-roll genie like me? ;) And has anyone compared the two formats with this title?

Again, this sale is good ONLY at the Boylston St. Tower Records in Boston. 30%-off SACD/CD/DVD-A/DVD-V/DTS/etc. 40%-off books and other publications I imagine this sale will continue until the store closes. They have a large selection of SACDs for a brick-and-mortar store, though I've...

I've done searches on this forum and the other ones (even Google'd it), and have found zero reviews, impressions, or discussion about this classic album. I see that it's also been remixed for multichannel. If anyone's got the SACD, I'd love to hear your impressions! (Yes, yes, I plan to...

I'm really anticipating the May release of "Bitches Brew" on SACD, and hoping for something to tide me over in the meantime... I love Miles, but I'm really only familiar with his material up to "In a Silent Way" (and that latter one only because it was among the first SACD releases). I've...

http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Movi...eut/index.html Asimov's "I, Robot" was the first sci-fi novel (collection, really) I recall reading as a kid, and one of those books that really stayed with me over the years. I think Alex Proyas could do a great job with it, despite the fact that the...

I'm a completely reliable and fast Gold Trader (DVD Talk forum) with zero bad trades or sales, looking to sell the following titles. Please, no trade offers - I'm only looking to sell at this time! All these titles are opened, but just exactly like new unless otherwise noted. Prices include...

This is for AUDIO interconnects... So, there are silver cables, copper cables, silver-copper hybrid cables, and then everyone says to just get Canare wire (which is made of copper?). Do the different substances have different aural properties? And is Canare wire intended for video sources...

Looking into interconnects for a future SACD player, and don't want to spend an arm and leg (particularly since I'll likely have to add an ICBM into the mix). The Kimber PBJs are priced reasonably enough to justify, so long as they're a quality interconnect. Can anyone vouch for these? Better...

With the new hybrid Stones releases and the dramatic lowering of prices on new SACD/DVD players, this issue has suddenly gained an all-new urgency for me! Any reason why not to go forward with a purchase? Format wars still playing out? Maybe next-gen models will have digital outs? Anything...

I'm a completely reliable and fast DVD Talk Gold Trader with zero bad trades or sales (plus several, all successful trades here at the Home Theater Forum), looking to sell the following titles. Please, no trade offers - I'm only looking to sell at this time! All these titles are opened, but...

I've purchased several times from them in the past, and always received a good price and prompt delivery despite the fact that they were shipping from Canada to the US. All in all, very positive experiences. The last order I placed was for the going OOP Close Encounters set, and since I...

Both look like great speakers. Both look like best bangs for the buck. It likely all comes down to a matter of preference - what's yours? :) And does anyone think the much higher efficiency of the Axiom M60s will make a great deal of difference when paired with a moderately powered receiver...

....Paradigm, Polk, JBL, etc. Cheap Home Theater compares the Diva 2.1, Axiom M3 (not the more lauded/expensive M22), nOrh 4.0, Ascend Acoustics CBM-170, and HTM-200 Home Theater Direct Level III here: http://www.cheaphometheater.com/Speaker%20Shootout.htm

The best I've come across is the $49.98 preorder price directly from Rhino Records. http://www.rhino.com/features/78278p.html This damn thing looks amazing!
