New this week. For $11.99 at Best Buy this week and using 3 Best Buy Bucks from McDonalds recent Monopoly promotion, this was a no-brainer for me. 23 of his innovative music videos (old and new) all with new surround-sound mixes. Full 24 bit/96Khz DTS tracks as well as 5.1 Dolby Digital...
Here's the article at usatoday.com. I knew something felt wierd about this. At first it was quirky or even "cute," but that wore out way before he finally quit wearing them. I doubt that it will happen, but it would serve him right to be stripped of his title and to not get his album...
I've been using an old Pro-Logic amp (Kenwood KR-V7040) to power my Tempest, but the other day I noticed that only one channel is working. I tried swapping wires/inputs and I tried running full-range speakers. I believe that I've blown one channel of the amp. My questions are: 1.) Could...
I rarely remember my dreams, but the other night I had a dream and I remember that it was like I was watching a 2.35 movie. I don't remember what it was about. So, those of you who remember your dreams more often than me, do you dream w/ peripheral vision (1st person) or in some other way? JKS
I've finally got my sonotube enclosure done! I'll be installing the driver tonight and firing it up for a demo or two. One quick question: I'm using an old ProLogic reciever as an amp for the Tempest driver. I'll be wiring it with one channel to each VC (separate sources instead of parallel)...
I tried searching for threads by a particular member by clicking "search" above a particular post by one member. Later, I tried searching for a member I know is still registered. Neither worked. I don't know if these are related or not. JKS
Anything wrong with this plan?? My top plug on my Sonotube is a really tight fit, but I'm guessing that is a good thing. Right now, to get the plug in the tube for a test fit, I'm inserting it from the other end and then pressing (or stomping) the plug until it is flush against the floor...
This is probably my "most clicked link" on HTF, but I was interested in how it works. I would think that it lists the 30 most recent posts, but then when I click it, it brings up a header "30 Most Active Topics Page" which would seem to be different. Also, how often is it updated? Every...
OK, I'm new to all of this, but I've been playing around with LspCAD and WinISD trying to fine-tune a sub design. In the process, I was setting the T/S parameters for the Tempest in WinISD since it's not one of their presets (is it? I didn't see it). First, I took the values from LspCAD, but...
I was mowing my lawn last night and my lawn mower engine stopped; seemingly for no reason. When I looked, I noticed that the spark plug cap/connector had come off. I put it back on and had some trouble get the engine to start back up, but it finally did. But then, it stopped again (I hadn't even...
Don't know if my Subject describes the problem or not. Probably not.
At the beginning of DVDs (intros, menus, previews, etc.), the audio format switches from 5.1 to DPL and back and forth until the movie starts. When the DVD does this, the receiver seems to "mute" itself for a second or two...
I put Fantasia 2000 (DTS) in for the first time last night and was expecting to see a DTS intro/trailer. I didn't. Am I just missing it or is it just not there?
I believe that all of my other DTS DVDs have either the "exploding disk" or the "piano." Are there other DTS DVDs that don't have...
My TV only has one video input and it is coax. If I use my a/v receiver as a video switcher, is there any advantage to using S-video to link the DVD player to the receiver even though I will have to use standard coax to the TV's video input?
