My suggestions for networking: Use cat5e, it's significantly cheaper, the jacks are cheaper, and it does support gigabit. Run more than you ever think you'll need. Run it everywhere you have coax going (use dual port wall plates). Run it for phones, run it in pairs, etc. It's dirt cheap...
I was thinking the same thing! I thought it worked beautifully in this episode too, maybe better than Garden State. (I thought Garden State was very depressing though; I expected a little more humor from him I guess).
So now the B&W's are looking to be more what I want... What a tough decision. Given what I have now, just about anything will sound really good to me, but at the same time, I don't want to decide in two years that I wasted my money. :frowning:
http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=225771 I must say, this thread is making me lean heavily towards the axioms (which also appears to be a beautiful speaker in cherry). Can anyone comment on these specifically?
Ah, another Urbana-Champaign person! I've only been to Good Vibes actually. How are the prices at Champagne (Champaign?) Audio? I would almost prefer buying over the internet just because of generally lower prices but I realize that's not an option for Paradigm. Might I ask what setup...
I'm looking ahead about 2-4 months when I want to do some upgrading. One key point is that I want to get the Pioneer VSX-1015 receiver as it looks to be the best value in my price range. To complement that, I really need to upgrade my speakers which just don't cut it anymore. I've looked and...
Keep in mind that quality is not just limited to if the disc burns right. A couple other factors are 1) will it play in other drives and 2) how long will it last. Not wanting to take risks with my data, I just buy exclusively Taiyo Yuden, a Japananese manufacturer with one of the best...
Jim, I like the thread you referenced. I saw some mention of concerns about shorting it out if one screws in the bolts too far. Will it be obvious how far is too far when I get them? Also, I assume adjustments aren't too difficult just by adjusting the distance between the plexi and the...
I just got my 4805 and need to get a ceiling mount. One big question I have is what I am aiming for as far as height. I've heard conflicting things: that the lens should be level with the top of the screen and also that it should be a foot below. Which is right? Also, what do people like as...
I'm trying to decide what colors to use in my theater. Originally, I wanted to go really dark to minimize light scattering but couldn't find anything appealing. Now I'm thinking something mid to light brown maybe but I was wondering if anyone has pictures of a similar theater to help me...
No, the more appropriate comparison is if the game was 20.01 to 20. Pamela got screwed. Trump is a moron and Carolyn just puppeted whatever he said. George probably kept his mouth shut because he knows better than to piss off "The Donald". This show is a parody of its former self.
I'm interested in Alien Quadroligy; how much shipped to 61802? And which version of Fight Club do you have? edit: I just realized you said free shipping for $50...
From what I've read about this, it's not a very effective method of protecting individual items. It's only designed to stop very large surges and will not protect against smaller ones or things like brownouts.
I'm hoping to turn half of my basement into a home theater room. However, there is a support pole in the middle under a manufactured wood beam. The beam spans the width of the room or about 14 feet (room length is about 30 ft). I've been told that over this width, I should be able to just remove...
I think you're overestimating the average person's ability to change. There are a great many people that will be happy with their 10 year old TV and VCR (or $40 Wal-Mart dvd player) for years to come.
But repeats can be good for casual viewers who miss an episode here and there. People like us wouldn't miss a single one even if they played it on a different day every week at a random time in the middle of the night (at least my Replay TV wouldn't miss it :D). I'm not too fond of the...
