    Hey Austin Texas Buddies? Can anyone help me out?

    I hear you on that one. I myself want to upgrade the Panny pj I have but I think I'm going to try to wait a little while before I do anything. Not only that w/ our wedding coming up in March it has really put a hold on new equipment, etc... That's not stopping me from going to Hastings at...

    Austin HTF Poker Thread

    Attention all DIY's, was wondering if someone might be interested in making a couple of extra bucks. I need a arm rest built for my Hold em table, you know the kind that wraps around the table w/ foam padding etc... would build it myself but, well I don't know how and I don't have the tools to...

    Austin - next HTF meet planning

    Sorry for the confusion, I do not want to replace my 3805, I was just wondering if adding a pre-pro would add to it? sounds like I can get away with buying an amp which may be cheaper. I do want to upgrade my dvd player but sounds like I should wait a year before I make that purchase. I'm...

    Cool thanks for the info! I have another question, I currently own a Denon AVR 3805 and I'm looking at possibly adding a pre-amp processor to it but I'm not sure what I should get? i know a lot of it has to do with my budget but I'm wondering which brands I should stick with? I'm looking to add...

    June HT tour in Austin.

    Ok sorry been extremely busy and I haven't been able to post. I have been corresponding w/ Scott though. I believe our little HT will be the 1st stop. I do like the idea of breaking it up into smaller groups. I can tell you right now that 20 people will not fit in our HT room unless of course...

    The next Austin meet?

    If you're into the Atkins or South Beach Diet (I like SB better) and you want to watch your carbs when it comes to beer, then go w/ any light beer, they are all low in carbs, some more than others. I like Shiner Light the best b/c it doesn't taste like a light beer and it has 9 net carbs I...

    May not be able to make this one after all, just remembered Mothers Day is on Sun so I may have the parental unit in town or we may be going out of town.

    I would definitely like to get some acoustic improvement suggestions from you folks if not at this meet maybe at another or just during the weekday/weekend. I'm pretty much done w/ our media room but I would love to get input on improvments for the sound. One of the quesions I have and I've...

    The next Austin meet?

    Steven thanks for the info and yes I meant after the river card and not the flop, was a little buzzed when I wrote the email early this morning. May have to make a house rule on the call issue next time I play. It was more of an annoyance last night that this friend of mine didn't ever want to...

    The next Austin meet?

    Ok sorry for the non HT question but being that there seems to be quite a few poker players in this group and being that we just got through playing cards, I thought I'd pose these questions regarding Hold em "rules". Ok say you're down to "x" amount of players and you've just completed the...

    Thanks for the vinyl info Scott, as for Aliens, I don't go their anymore, they never have anything good or new so if I want new Drum and Bass then I'll just order online from the UK. Nowadays I'm digging for older stuff, 70's and earlier. Pirahna records is in Round Rock off of 79 near...

    Did someone say vinyl? where are you buying your vinyl from? what do you vinyl folks collect? I mysel collect vinyl but that's b/c I'm a dj and well that's what we dj's use. Lately I've been producing my own tracks and I've been digging for vinyl ALOT! for sample purposes of course. what are...

    The next Austin meet?

    Ok sorry for the rookie question, still new to the Home Theatre market. My question is: Is DVI better than component when it comes to HD material? I've been using component cables for my HD box and I believe I have a DVI input on my l300u but can the picture really be that much clearer on HD...

    1 sheet of MDF (which can make 2 screens) from Home Depot, wood glue and blackout fabric from Jo-ann's fabric and you'll have yourself a kick a$$ screen. Total price including all the cuts made

    Hank, Thanks for the info, I would be interested in playing as well. I just got my new chips yesterday, got a 600 count of chips w/ a 500 count case. Let me know and I can bring them. I'm used to $10 - $20 buy ins so $5 is perfect. Thx!

    How often should you replace the bulb? I mean besides when it goes out? or should you just replace it when it does go out? Wondering if I should replace my bulb on my l300u? Thoughts?

    Poker, do you all just stick w/ Tx Hold em or do you switch up games? How much is the buy in? I'm getting my new poker chips tomorrow, I can't wait they should be sweet! I want that WPT poker table but I can't fork over $1200 right now for a poker table. :angry:

    August Austin HTF meet.

    FYI, For those of you that own or will be purchasing the Panny L300U, be sure to clean out your air filter every 100 hours. Does it say this in the manual? Yes, did I read it or do I ever read manuals? NO! haha. I freaked out because I noticed a light green sort of dot (size of a tennis...

    Really? what time? I know they only broadcast at a certain time? Wonder why it never showed up for you? September 15 is when they'll be broadcasting more shows as well as debuting INHD2. Can't wait!

    August Austin HTF meet.

    Have you all seen the new 1601 HD channel? Right now they're showing the U.S. Open on it and it looks phenomenal! They also show a looped preview regarding new and upcoming shows for INHD and INHD2 and it looks amazing. We watched it 2x last night. Heck I'm willing to show it for those of you...

    Claude, You and the wife should come over some Thurs night to see CSI in HD, that just might convince the wife to get the pj. MNF is pretty compelling as well, my sig other even said "this is better than being at an actual game!"

    I completely forgot about Wally World thanks! Wally World in RR and off of 620 and 183 are usually pretty cheap. I'll probably buy the LOTR version that's coming out tomorrow and then do like I did when the ext version came out...bought it was well. I'm impatient as you can see plus it will...

    I'll let you know about movie night. I have to see which night this week we can host a movie night. Stay tuned. Golf is an expensive hobby I agree however if you get a twilight tee time then it's pretty reasonable.

    August Austin HTF meet.

    Claude thanks for hosting! I had a great time. It was cool hearing and talking about various Home Theatre projects. Jonathan's presentation was very interesting, I'm anxious to have my room measured and here I thought my sound was perfect, I'm scared to see how bad it really is! I wouldn't mind...
