    U2 "Achtung Baby" Remaster

    Anybody had a listen to any of the new remastered editions of "Achtung Baby?" I have always felt that this album should have a little bit more on the top end (provided it's *supposed* to be there

    "Throw Momma From The Train" (Wal-Mart exclusive) PQ review

    I watched the entire film last night and while I cannot compare it to the previous DVD incarnations, I was pleasantly surprised. Granted, I set the bar pretty low and while things started out a tad rough (with Billy Crystal typing away at his keyboard during the opening credits), it cleans up...

    Tom Petty "Damn The Torpedoes" on Blu-ray AUDIO

    Joe Perry: Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith

    http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009...uit-aerosmith/ Never really been a big fan of the band, but as a huge music fan, I respect them. Too bad they can't get along but it's been a 40 year journey.

    Just picked up the Beatles Mono Box Set at Best Buy!

    I was heading in to pick up some other CDs when, to my surprise, they had a TON of Beatles CDs on the end caps. However, they were all of the stereo remasters only. At that point, I heard a customer telling one of the stocking girls that was working that they were not supposed to be put out...

    Rolling Stones 2009 Universal Remasters - Reviews, impressions, warnings?

    Does anybody have any firsthand experience with the 2009 Universal Rolling Stones remasters? I decided to pick up "Some Girls" at BB today for $6.99 and I figured, even if it sounded awful, I wasn't out a lot of money. However, I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet and have never owned...

    Did anyone just catch Prince on Leno?!?!?!

    DAYUM, Prince just tore it up on Leno...had harmonica playing on a JAMMING upbeat rocking tune. He played the hell out of the guitar too, nice work! Best stuff I've heard from him in a while.

    When did Kimber Heros get so expensive???

    I was searching for another pair of Kimber's excellent "Hero" interconnects and to my surprise, it appears as though these guys have gone WAY up in price. I seem to remember a new 2M pair going for around $210 (with WBT 0144 connectors) a few years back...now they're $350! Anyone know what gives...

    Where's the love for "Dumb & Dumber" on Blu?

    I've got this one sitting downstairs in my HT room, but won't open it until I see some reviews. From what I read, The Mask (also from New Line) had an obscene amount of DNR so I'm somewhat reluctant to break the plastic. I'm not expecting anything revelatory, but definitely wanna see an upgrade...

    The first "Austin Powers Collection" review is in!

    It's from IGN which is probably not the best source for Blu-ray reviews, but it's promising nonetheless: IGN Advertisement

    What, no love for "Tropic Thunder"???

    I was really surprised to not see anything about this movie here. I just finished watching the Blu-ray and it was fantastic from beginning to end. I won't spoil it except to say it's a laugh riot and to expect the unexpected. There are big names, cameos and surprises galore. There is some mild...

    Metallica "Death Magnetic" out today (9/12)!!!

    If you like old school Metallica (the albums before "The Black Album"), you're in for a treat. This ENTIRE album is in the vein of "Puppets" and "Justice" which is what we've all been waiting for. I've been listening to it for about a week now and it is absolutely infectious. It's one to put on...

    I wanna see some "Snatch" on Blu-ray!!!

    Sorry for the title, I just had to! :D Anybody heard if this one's coming out any time soon? Seeing as how Sony/Columbia likes to re-release this title on DVD (I think I've seen 3 copies so far, including a Superbit version), I would have thought that they wouldn't have missed the chance to...

    New Ray LaMontagne "Gossip In The Grain" 10/14 (mp3 link inside)

    Ray La is releasing "Gossip In The Grain" on 10/14. The first single ("Let It Be Me") is available below in a pretty low-res 96kbps MP3, but it's decent enough. Sounds pretty good to these ears. He's also set to go on tour. If you have a chance go see him. It's a pretty mellow show, but it is...

    Onkyo 705 - Video from one source while listening to audio from another source

    In setting up a buddy's 705 last night, I can't seem to figure out how to have say, video from the satellite on the TV while listening to a CD through his PS3. On my Integra DTC 9.8 pre/pro, this is accomplished by having the audio playing and then hitting the video source button, but...

    Just picked up the new "Mudcrutch" CD (Tom Petty's pre-Heartbreakers band)

    Thinking that I dig most of Petty's stuff, I decided to pick this up. It came out last week. If I had to summarize their sound, I would say that it is a kind of rambling, rootsy rock, much more so than Petty's stuff with the Heartbreakers. The fact that it was recorded in like 2 weeks time lends...

    Issue with Denon 2307CI - can't reinitialize the processor

    My buddy's Denon 2307CI recently got popped by a power surge (despite being hooked up to a Panamax protector) and since then, some of the assignable inputs on the receiver went a little screwy ie. what used to be TV/SAT is now CDR/TAPE. Anyway, to remedy this, I suggested we reboot/reinitialize...

    Any "Vampire Weekend" fans here?

    On a whim, I turned on SNL last night just as Vampire Weekend was about to play. Holy sh*t, I REALLY dig this band. They played "M79" and I was blown away. I then spent most of the night trying to find MP3s of their stuff and bought the album today. Great stuff...like a mixture of...
