Okay...I've finally decided to pick up these sets, but I have a rather odd question. I'm sure at least someone around here will understand the OCD direction I'm coming from. Here goes... I've only been able to find one copy of The Fellowship of the Ring set, and it has a slightly rounded spine...

I finished watching this movie about an hour ago. Fantastic film that looks stunning in HD on BD. However, I had a serious problem with the disc. When I entered the pop-up menu, I had issues. The top-most level was the only one I could control (Languages, Scene Selections, Extras). Once in a...

Don't know if this belongs in the Blu-Ray hardware forum or here, but here goes... Today I installed firmware version 1.32 from 1.11 on my PS3. The first film I watched was Enemy of the State, which I haven't seen on BD. I noticed a kind of vibration/pulsating effect on a lot of shots in the...

Anyone downloaded this yet? Just tried to access the online store and was instructed to download. Just wondering what's new/fixed.

Hi, guys! A couple of days ago, I purchased the 60" A2000. Was wondering what settings you guys use? I'm primarily trying to calibrate using the Toshiba HD-A1. Just wanted to compare with everyone. I thought everything looked good, and then I popped in Last Samurai. Doesn't look quite right...

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now. I watched Phantom of the Opera recently, and the audio is recorded at such a low level, I had to turn up my receiver to levels I don't usually use. Connected via the 5.1ch out, I get a distracting hum from all five channels using any track...

I purchased the A1 a couple of nights ago and have been fairly impressed. However, I just sat down to calibrate with the DVE SD-DVD, and the player won't pass below black. Anyone else noticed this with his/her player? Thanks. Rob Edit: Using HDMI directly to TV

Sooo...there are two Talking Heads box sets that have been released very recently. First came "Once in a Lifetime," a three CD, one DVD set that contains some rarities. Then came the White Brick DualDisc set, containing all the studio albums with some rarities and video content. I've always...

So...I've noticed that REM's CD + DVD-A editions have become scarce. Amazon seems down to their last stock on them, and my local Tower Records, Best Buy, and Borders no longer have them. Anyone know? Were these supposed to be limited editions?

Has anyone else noticed an audio dropout during R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," when playing the DVD-A on a Denon 3910? It comes at 5:57 (when looking at the elapsed time of the whole disc). I've already exchanged the disc once, but it happens on the new one as well. Any ideas? Thanks. Rob

Hi, guys! So...I have a system comprised of Definitive Tech ProMonitor 200's (mains) and ProMonitor 100's (surrounds) with a ProCenter 200. I just added a Denon 3910 to my component list, and I've been doing a lot of critical listening to SACD's and DVD-A's. I'm noticing that my mains...

I just picked this up today. I haven't listened to it all the way through, but my initial impression is that it's a little left-heavy. The vocals, particularly, come from a little left of center throughout what I've sampled (first five tracks). Anyone else have this disc? What are your...

Anyone gotten this yet? What are the specs on the disc? Stereo or multi-channel? How does it sound?

Hi, everyone! Today is a great day! The UPS person should be at my doorstep by 5:00 with my new 3910. I can't wait! I have a quick question, though. What audio connection should I use with between my 3910 and 3805? I was hoping to use the Denon Link, but I just read in another post that it is...

So...a search for information on the Ultimate Matrix Collection has yielded little comparative discourse. What do you guys think? If a person owns all of the individual discs, are the audio/video upgrades enough to justify a double dip? How dramatic are the improvements? Of course, the extras...

I've recently been introduced to Ani DiFranco, and I've fallen in love with her music. The only CD I currently own is Living in Clip, but I'm thinking about picking up her Trust DVD. Does anyone here have this disc, and could you provide some comments on it? Just wondering if it's a good...

So...I just got a new Sony KD-34XS955 34" TV. I bought the component cables for my XBox, set the XBox to display 480p, 720p, and 1080i (depending on the game), and popped in a game that is 720p capable. Much to my surprise, there were jaggies everywhere. I tried a 420p game with the same...

So...I just got back from Best Buy, and they had this 34" TV priced incorrectly. I fought long and hard, and after a couple of calls to Best Buy's corporate offices, they honored the price of $1450 (supposed to be $1999). I'm feeling empowered and very happy with my purchase, but since it was...

Hi! I'm just listening to Madman Across the Water for the first time. It sounds fantastic, aside from one small problem. When the tracks change, I hear a slight, static pop. Do any of you notice this when listening to the multi-channel layer? It's the only disc on which I've ever noticed this...

Hi! I'm considering dropping over $60 on Aimee Mann's two MoFi SACD's. I've never purchased a MoFi disc, but I've heard that they are wonderful. Still, $30 a disc is a bit expensive. I was hoping someone (or more than one) could give me a brief write-up on Lost in Space and Bachelor #2. I own...

I was in Circuit City today, and I noticed a new Panasonic 34" widescreen TV. It looked pretty good in the store, and was priced at $1324. Has anyone else seen the CT-34WX54? Anyone have any information on it, other than what's on the site? Any reviews? Seems like a good TV to me, but I guess...

Hi! I posted this question earlier in the Display Devices forum, but I think it may be better suited here. I'm sorry if reposting is against the rules. How is the quality of connecting a DVI output to HDMI input? I have an Apple PowerBook, and I'm looking into getting the Sanyo HT30744 30" TV...

Hi! How is the quality of connecting a DVI output to HDMI input? I have an Apple PowerBook, and I'm looking into getting the Sanyo HT30744 30" TV for my dorm room. I thought this would be a nice way to have a larger monitor, if the quality will be good enough. I don't need anything too big, and...

Hi everyone! I remember a couple of years ago, I found a link in this forum to a site where you could input the screen size of a 4:3 TV and a 16:9 TV, and it would give you the actual dimensions of the picture area using different aspect ratios. Basically, you could, for example, input a 32" 4:3...

Anyone else excited? Alas, it has no DTS track, but the setlist is pretty impressive: a sorta fairytale Sugar Crucify Cornflake Girl Bells for Her Concertina Take To The Sky Leather Cloud On My Tongue Cooling your cloud Father Lucifer Professional Widow I can't see...

M'kay...so I'm kicking myself for missing the 2/$25 deal at Best Buy last week. Does anyone know where I can get the best price on both at B&M's? I believe Reloaded is $14.99 at Best Buy, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any info on either? Thanks! Rob

Hi! Has anyone gotten this yet? I own both Seasons 1 & 2, and I love them, though Season 1 is better than 2. I have not seen a single episode from Season 3, and I was wondering how good the season is. How does it compare to the other 2?

When I turn on my brand new PS2, it goes straight to the "browser" screen. I put in a game, and the screen begins to flicker with white lines when the it goes black after the "browser" screen, during the transition to the game. There is a curved line connecting the right side of the top of the...

I picked this up several days ago for $50...of course. I've read mixed reviews of it, so I thought I'd ask you all what you think about the game. Are the levels all that similar? What do y'all think? Is the game worth the new game price? Later! Rob

Hi, everyone! I picked up a copy of Suikoden II at Babbages today. I don't know much about the Suikoden series, so I thought I'd ask for your opinions. What are your ideas on the games. A good series? Thanks! Rob
