I'm mulling over my next computer, and I've pretty much decide on a Shuttle 8x8x12 PC with an All-In-Wonder and a Wi-Fi card taking up the 2 slots. I'm curious to know how the onboard audio stacks up against the SB Audigy I have now. My biggest concern isn't with sound quality, though, it's...
As a Peter Gabriel fan, I'm suprised I didn't see this advertised in the Best Buy or Circuit City ads. The lowest price I've found so far is $14.99 on Amazon. I'll almost certainly pick this up, and I encourage any Peter Gabriel fan to do the same. I have the SWL album, and IMHO, the music...
This was a title I'm almost CERTAINLY going to get... Anyone find it lower than Amazon ($32.49)? If I can save another couple of dollars, that would be great. :)
I was just curious to hear your opinions on how the Logitech Z-680s compared to similarly priced HTiB solutions. I've heard that the Logitechs sound pretty good, but I haven't really seen them compared directly to the HT specific solutions that most companies provide. I'd appreciate...
I've been planning for some time to put up some pictures of my home entertainment system, and now that I've taken them (thanks to a nice digital camera I got as a Christmas present), I was wondering what web sites would be good for hosting. Any suggestions for free hosting sites? If not free...
I just wanted the input of the people on here - are the media center PCs worth it? I'd especially like to hear from anyone that owns one. I hear that initially you can't write MPEG-2 video to DVD, but a company is supposedly releasing a third party program to fix this. If it works well...
I decided to take my problem to another thread. Just wanted some help - I have a cable box with no stereo output that I'd like to connect to my receiver. The current hookup only registers left-side sound, and the best I can get it to do is 6 channel stereo, which puts some sound into the...
I just caught another Bose infomercial, this time for the Bose Wave Music System. They make it sound so great... then they forget to tell you that it costs ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! :angry:
I got angry, needless to say.
I wanted to start a thread that can give newbie HTFers out there BETTER...
Hi everyone..... I'm having a bit of a problem working my WinDVD 4 Plus player along with an Audigy Platinum Soundcard -- the player doesn't seem to even notice the presence of the card, and any DTS track I play back sounds distorted, almost like its trying to decode the DTS track with DD...
I just wanted to hear your opinions on how low a sub needs to go to reproduce quality sound. I've been pretty happy with my PB12 sub so far, but the spec of 25Hz seems a LITTLE high as far as response levels go. What do you guys think?
Since I have a HDTV, and since I'm looking at getting a few things with component output, I'm looking a bit at Component Video Switchers. I've seen this one so far, but I'm wondering if any switchers under $150 have digital coax/optical audio passthroughs.
Any suggestions/recommendations are...
I just got back from my job at Best Buy, and I wanted to share an interesting little tidbit: I was showing a guy the Evil Dead DVDs and explaining to him the multiple versions. We had the old Elite DVD and the new Anchor Bay version (both BOTD and movie-only). I said that if he was a casual...
Just wanted to start a thread about Sports Night -- one of the best TV shows I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I've heard rumors of this coming out on DVD soon (from the Bits, I believe). Anyone else here excited about the prospect?
Now that the prices are coming down on DVD Recorders, I was thinking about getting one. But which standard do you guys think is better? I don't want to be stuck with the next Beta.
I'm in the process of putting together my Home Theater System and I'm in need of some recommendations. I currently have a 27" Samsung HDTV, 2 JBL S312IIs as fronts, a JBL S-Center II, and a pair of JBL S36IIs as my rear speakers. I'm looking for a Receiver and a DVD player to complete the...
