    Time to cancel

    XM is moving in a horrible, horrible direction. I would be surprised if most people could identify it seperately from Sirius in an A/B test at the moment. Or at least in the rock station lineup. Ethel, for example, is so damn close to a Clear Channel FM station, that if you threw in ads, it...

    Toss old TV and get new one?

    This is kind of a complicated story, and thanks to anyone who goes through it. Feb of '03 I moved, and something happened with the convergence on my nearly 4 year old Mits 55" TV. I had someone repair it and it worked fine for 10 months, but the convergence is out on it again. I called a...

    Manufactured

    http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~dcm25/nickelback.html Found this while browsing, classic stuff. You need Shockwave to be able to hear it. (For those of you who aren't musically inclined, these are two different songs running at the exact same beats per minute, with the exact same lead ups to...

    Progressive DVD for Anime with coax output

    I can't believe how hard this is. My RP91 died on me after only about 1.5 years worth of service, so I'm back in the market for a DVD player again. Problem is that I only have about $200 to spend, and the player absolutely has to have coax output, and needs to also be very good at deinterlacing...

    Definitive ProMonitor 100 vs BP6 vs BP8 vs Center

    I'm looking at making one last big purchase in the way of speakers before I go back to school full time. I currently have the standard ProCinema 100 set, except with a ProCenter C2. My question is, what single upgrade out of BP6 towers, BP8 towers, or a new center channel would give me the...

    FS: Mitsubishi 55857 (ISF Calibrated) Dallas, TX

    I've come to realize within the past couple of weeks that I won't be moving into any apartments or especially houses with a large living room in the near future as I'm going back to school for 3 years. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this set, I just need a smaller 4:3 set due to the...

    Def Tech ProCinema and the art of speaker placement in an apt.

    I'm trying to get the most out of my system and decide if I need to upgrade or not. As a quick reference, I've posted a mock up of my setup. The center channel is set up with the speaker aimed at ear level, sweet spot; the fronts are aimed at the wall behind the sweet spot (about 2-3 feet)...

    Gaining optical inputs

    I'm planning on buying a new receiver in the future but can't at this point. I'm needing more optical inputs than what my receiver has. Is there any equipment (preferrably cheap) to do this? At Radio Shack I saw something that lets you plug one device into optical inputs on two seperate...

    Definitive Technology ProCinema 100.6 and which receiver?

    I'm thinking about breaking the bank and adding a new receiver to my setup, but I need some help. I have a Def Tech ProCinema 100.6 with C2 center channel and I'm currently running them off of a Pioneer VSX-510D. First I'll list the receivers that I'm taking into consideration: Denon AVR-3802...

    Def Tech Procinema 80/100 and VSX-510?

    With all of the talk about Def tech going around, I've been considering upgrading my sound system for my apartment without going overboard. Most of the posts I've seen say to choose the 100's over the 80's as they are worth the small increase in price. Does everyone feel this to be true? And...

    Is this ISF package a good deal?

    Basic ISF calibration Mechanical focus Lining the interior of the cabinet with Duvatyne Geometry with grid Mitsubishi red push fix $525 Any thoughts on this? It seems fairly reasonable to me given the amount of work that needs to be done (7-9 hours), but I wanted to get some other...
