    Old school gear, what to do and what's it worth?

    I don't know too much about this stuff myself, but after digging around a little, I found someone selling an MX-1000 and CX-1000 as a pair for $950 in September 2009. I also found a post from a guy who took his CX-1000 in to an audio shop in 2001 and they said it was worth $500 separately. I...

    WHV Press Release: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Blu-ray)

    Good to know! That's awesome it'll be on Blu-ray. Not so awesome that my little sister seemed to think (last night) she could order it for my dad in time for this Christmas...I guess I'll have to break the news to her that she'll have to save it for next Christmas.

    Help with my theater on a budget

    Welcome to HTF, Scott! I've heard really great things about the Mitsubishi HC3800 projector. I don't have one myself but I had some friends back in Rhode Island who had one. They seemed to think it was bee's knees with nice bright projection. I watched a couple of movies with them on it...

    Simple 2.1 setup under $500?

    I haven't experienced them myself, but I've heard pretty good things about the Paradigm Atoms audio quality (and not such good things about the "wood" veneer). For relatively budget friendly speakers, I think they're a good bet on performance. I've actually been thinking of getting some...

    Weekly RoundUp 7-28-2009

    I took the liberty of investigating the problem with the two broken image links. Those were actually remnants left over from a template using the Weekly RoundUp from 7-7-2009 featuring Rose Bryne and Maria Montez. In that particular RoundUp, those images were fixed (apparently their original...

    Home Theater Forum 2.0 Has Arrived!

    Ooff, it would definitely be frustrating to get subscribed to every single thread you post in. It's also frustrating to have to uncheck that box! To set your default so that the "Subscribe" check box on replies and reviews is automatically UNCHECKED...here is the full tutorial with screenshots...

    Home Theater Forum 2.0 Has Arrived!

    Hi David, The layout of the site is a modified liquid layout so it contracts for narrower screens, but also expands out to the layout of the most commonly sized monitors. We know the vB version was infinitely variable width, so that's a big change, but hopefully one that folks can acclimate to...

    Home Theater Forum 2.0 Has Arrived!

    The forum jump is definitely on the list of stuff to get taken care of. I'll keep you posted on an ETA when I hear from our engineering team. Jim_C, apologies about your avatar. We're looking into it.

    Hi Dennis, Currently animated avatars are turned off and appear static within the forums. However, on the user's profile page (for example, TonyD's - http://www.hometheaterforum.com/user/tonyd) the animation is still appearing.

    So You Think You Can Dance: Season 5

    Yeah, I'd definitely have to say Mary is probably my least favorite part of the show. She just gets under my skin. There are no two ways about it....I just don't like her. BUT! As you said...it's about the dancing. It's really amazing to see what some of these dancers can do. There's...

    Indiana Jones 5

    I actually missed Indy 4 when it was in theaters but I watched it the other day. The first three will always have my heart (although I'm not the biggest fan of Kate Capshaw's rendition of "Anything Goes" in Temple of Doom). That being said, even on a small screen, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...

    What Film would you pay to see Back on the Big Screen?

    The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, and any of the Indiana Jones movies would probably be at the top of my list...although that list is probably pretty long. :-) Are there any good places in San Francisco to see classic movies? I know the Red Vic shows some on occasion, as does the Castro...

    Basic questions about PC speakers

    Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the insight! Luckily my good ol' speakers don't have a remote control. :-) Not too much of a loss there for me and I'm sure lots to gain in terms of sound quality. I think I know what to tell my parents to get me for my birthday!

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Had an hour to kill at Target before my little sister's volleyball tournament. Ended up leaving with "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" Seasons 1 & 2 for $13 and the BBC's "Bleak House" for $25ish I think.

    Replacing a janky old TV...any recommendations?

    Yeah, I'm sure you're right about the "Eco" advertising stuff. I did look at the list of TVs that are Energy Star qualified on the Energy Star website and there are only 335 listed and it looks like they'll be releasing new criteria for certification to go into effect on September 1, 2010...

    Basic questions about PC speakers

    What applications do you use your Swans for? I have a Dell PC with a somewhere between a 23" and 28" screen (I'm blanking on exactly how big it is) in my bedroom which I end up watching a lot of movies/Netflix instant play on. The computer and monitor are quite new but my "surround" speakers and...

    Decent point and shoot cameras for every day use?

    I wasn't able to find the Canon waterproof one in a store and I was cutting the whole graduation gift pretty close...but I ended up going with the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000. They've got a few other models in their Stylus Tough line but Best Buy had the 6000 in stock. I probably could have...

    Replacing a janky old TV...any recommendations?

    Thanks for the great advice! We've been taking a bit of extra time to look around as our housemate hasn't actually taken the old TV away yet. Any thoughts on the Vizio 37" LCD 720p VS370E (VIZIO I've also kind of been leaning toward their Energy Star certified TVs. One is 37" (VIZIO) and the...

    Replacing a janky old TV...any recommendations?

    About a year and a half ago, I moved into my apartment. My housemates had been living there for a while...with a VERY janky TV. When I say janky, I mean they got it from someone on Craigslist and it has this horrible buzz which gives me a headache any time it's on. In any case, one of my...

    Decent point and shoot cameras for every day use?

    Thanks for the advice! I really do love photography and wish I had a bit more free time to spend on it (my grandfather gave me a bunch of dark room equipment which is currently being used in a photo lab at Stanford until I have a place I can use it myself). Point and shoots are certainly not...

    Decent point and shoot cameras for every day use?

    For the last two years, I've been using a Canon SD750 (before that, I had other Canon point and shoots and I use a Canon EOS 10D for special occasions). Unfortunately, for about the last 7 months, I occasionally get a weird lens error. In any case, I'm starting to doubt my camera's...
