I don't know if I spelled it right, but oh well...you get the point. I haven't heard anything on a release date for this movie on DVD and I really enjoyed it. Has anyone heard anything? Release date? DVD specs? Thanks!

Do you live in the Baltimore area and have a passion for home theater? So do we! Howard Brenner, also of HTF, and I are planning a Baltimore area home theater group/meet so we can get together with other HT fans in the Baltimore area and discuss our favorite hobby. Here are some of the...

I've done a lot of reading in this forum and the general consensus seems to be that Aragon's amps are excellent and perhaps a very good buy right now because they're being discontinued and can be purchased for a great price. My sense is that these amps are a true high-class product. I've...

After reading about a way to make DIY cables here, and discussing it with some other HTF'ers, I've decided I'm going to invest the $$$ in the tools and start making my own cables. Since separates are in my near future, I will be able to recoup the tool investment pretty quickly. What is the...

Lately I've heard of some forum members finding great deals on HT equipment at ubid.com so I decided to go to their site and do a couple searches: Aragon: No matches Parasound: 1 match Anthem: No matches (for HT stuff) I then went to the "Consumer Electronics" tab, and clicked on "Home...

I know for a fact that a lot of my current sub's bass travels to my neighbor's townhouse (attached to mine), and I don't want to disturb her too much. I've read where some people have put different types of materials underneath their sub, which I believe was done to help decouple the unit from...

The more I research acoustic treatments, the more confused I get. Would you care to comment on what I write below and perhaps try to answer some of the questions I ask along the way? It is a summation/generalization of what I've learned about the subject that may or may not be completely...

The subject says it all. I'd really enjoy hearing what people thought if they directly compared (i.e. A/B'd) these two pre/pros. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I know the AVM-20 has about every imaginable feature while the MC-1 lacks some, but then again the MC-1 has...

I sometimes hear that the best place to sit in a commercial theater is in the vertical and horizontal center of the screen - meaning your line of sight is exactly to the center point of the screen. Does the same rule apply in a front projection-based home theater using either LCD or DLP...

Hi All, I did a search of this forum but couldn't uncover the answer to a question my parents had as they build their HT room. What is the best kind/type of insulation to maximize soundproofing in their room? I don't know much about this so I'm not sure what else I could tell you. I know...

Would anyone comment on how they feel the Parasound amps (such as the HCA-2205AT and HCA-1500A) would do if combined with Monitor Audio Gold Reference speakers? I'm looking to get a sense of the sonic signature that the two would generate. Yes, I know that will also depend on room acoustics...

I've heard so many good things about Lexicon's Logic 7 processing, and in a conceptual sort of way I always thought I understood it. But lately, as I think about it in more detail in the context of an impending processor purchase decision, I want to make sure I understand the details of how it...

A friend and I are going to take a road trip to a major metro area within a few hours' drive of Baltimore to look at HT equipment (front projectors, amps, processors, etc.) and in preparation for it, I would like to know the best places to go in either the Philadelphia or Washington, DC area...

One of the first polls in the "Building a Home Theater Area" forum poses the question: "Who designed your home theater?" As one might expect, the initial poll responses vary, with some people opting for the "do-it-yourself" route, while others choose to hire a HT design consultant (such as...

I am considering the purchase of a headset for use with my 2.4 GHz cordless (NOT cellular) phone. I happened to have a headset for my cellular phone so I plugged it into my cordless phone, but it did not work. I checked the manual of my cordless phone (Uniden 2.4 GHz) and it reads as though I...

I was surprised to find out that Best Buy in Columbia, MD (greater Baltimore area) had not received any Groundhog Day SE DVDs today as of about 2:30 PM EST. When I asked an associate about it, he looked in the computer and indicated no Best Buys in the Baltimore area had received any yet...

Recently, I sold via ebay my Pioneer DV-37 so I could purchase a Panasonic RP-91. I've had one on backorder from J&R from 12/30/2001 and it just arrived last Wednesday, 1/16/2002. I didn't mind the wait much because I was able to get it for a very good price (and I had my venerable Sony...

Well, the title says it all. All of a sudden I'm getting renewal requests to my HT mags, and I'd rather not renew all of them. I currently subscribe to: Home Theater Widescreen Review Sound & Vision The Perfect Vision Stereophile Guide to Home Theater Audio Video Interiors Which...

According to this CES 2002 link, the RP-91 will still be made available in 2002, which contradicts some of the rumors that it will be discontinued. From the very brief write-up on this page, I didn't detect any new Panasonic model that would compete with the RP-91, either. It still is...

Happy New Year HTF! In the spirit on "new beginnings" I'm going to try to articulate a problem with my HT that's bothered me all year. I know with your help, I can start 2002 with this problem resolved. Bear with me as I explain... The Equipment Yamaha DSP-A3090 integrated amp Monster...

The short story here is that I currently own this DVD and in fact, haven't even opened the plastic outer cover yet. At the last minute this week, my mother decided to buy a DVD player for my father for Christmas, and I figured I'd give him his first DVD. What better DVD to buy him than a movie...

Disclaimer: None of what I write here is meant to start a cable war! I'm just looking for some opinions on some questions I have on coaxial cable. As I ponder getting a new DVD player (Panny RP-91) to replace my Pioneer Elite DV-37, I would like to use a coaxial connection to my receiver. In...

I could have sworn I read a recent post that indicated a price in the low to mid-$400s for a Panasonic RP-91 from Etronics.com. I guess they raised their price on this machine quite substantially! If this is correct, where's the best/most inexpensive place to buy this player?

I was doing some online "window shopping" a few weeks ago and noticed Hudson Hawk could be purchased for $9.90 from DeepDiscountDVD.com. I ordered it, and received the DVD today, but have some questions. First, the box cover art is nothing like what was listed on the site when I ordered the...

Where do you all go for the following types of DVD information? 1. DVD reviews - not only new DVD releases, but older DVDs as well, such as "Easy Money". I just looked around for a review of this DVD and couldn't find any information. Often I find this to be the case with lower-profile DVDs...

I'd like to buy this DVD, and when I did a price check at dvdpricesearch.com I noticed the price seems to be coming down a little bit. I was just wondering if this may be due to the imminent release of a new version of this movie. Anyone hear anything about this?

Having read a bunch of threads here and other places about the video quality of the Panasonic RP-91, I'm starting to think about ebaying my Pioneer Elite DV-37 and buying one. I've heard the RP-91 represents a nice step up in video quality from the DV-37. What I'd like to know is how the...

Well, yesterday was a rough day for my wallet. My cousin and I went to BJ's to check if they had the Dirty Harry box set. They didn't, but we each picked up a DVD while we were there - he got Top Dog and I bought The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly. Then we went to Best Buy and each of us picked up...

I was doing something with the HT the other day that brought me close to my left front speaker, a DefTech BP10b. With my Yamaha DSP-A3090 on and volume turned up, but no source selected, I noticed a distinct hissing coming out of (I believe) the tweeter of the speaker. Does anyone have any...
