Just a thought... With the technology that blu ray is capable of and the huge capacity on each disc, wouldnt it be nice to have full soundtracks - of that particular film obviously - on the blu ray disc! It could be in the 'special features' section. And if it was possible, why not the ability...
Dealing with a difficult situation and need some advice... I had to sacrifice my 5.1 Mirage speaker setup for a more lifestyle-friendly environment at the new home. I can use my left, center, right, and subwoofer speakers, but can't use the surrounds. I've just bought a new Yamaha 7.1 AVR (not...
This has been bugging the crap out of me for a while, now, and I hope this is the right subforum for this question. The speakers on my computer seem to frequently pick up anything ambient in the area from radio stations to cordless phones, and play it through with heavy static.. Except I don't...
Well, this is the movie adaptation of the first couple of Evangelion episodes. Anyone who knows me knows I really like Evangelion, and anyone who knows Evangelion knows quite a bit of how... realistic it is. If you haven't seen the series, you might be a bit confused. In Japan, a common trend...
For my final year project I propose to use the Blu-ray laser unit from a disk drive (something like a KEM-410ACA, without all the problems of using a sony part) to measure surface roughness. I will relate the proportional analog signal from the voice coil motor that focuses the laser dot on the...
Okay so I'm pondering ordering a ROKU box. I just upgraded our cable modem and router to wireless-N and want to stream Amazon free prime videos to our plasma. Currently, my antenna box uses an optical cable to my receiver which allows me Dolby 5.1 on digital broadcast TV...the optical cable...
Here is a challenge to all you acoustic lovers: what are the best acoustic songs that no-one but you know about? The kind of thing you throw into a conversation, after which everyone does that kind of scrunchy lip-thing as if to say, "no, no, only you know that one..." I'll start. 1) 30...
I‘ve heard of the fastest talker in the guinness book of world records , but I haven't heard of the fastest guitar solo....I figure its a bad Idea to say whats the best guitar solo being that everyone will be biased towards different bands. so does anyone know of the fastest technical solo? it...
I've been seeing more and more 3D TV and I think they are really nice but pricey. While I was searching for a good 3D TV, I found an advertisement about a 3D speaker. Are they real? What is the difference between these speakers and the regular ones.
Dealing with a difficult situation and need some advice... I had to sacrifice my 5.1 Mirage speaker setup for a more lifestyle-friendly environment at the new home. I can use my left, center, right, and subwoofer speakers, but can't use the surrounds. I've just bought a new Yamaha 7.1 AVR (not...
Hevay Metal and Rock bands prove themselves the most accomplished and proficient often by virtue of the sometimes fantastic ballads they pen. Who can forget Gary Moore's "Empty rooms", Journey's "Who's crying now?" or even Zep's "Going to California", or GnR's "November rain"? So which are your...
What are the few songs that you just love, and that you think everyone out there should give a chance. I am thinking more under the radar songs that most people wouldnt know. My first suggestions... Vince Martin - Wild Child in a World of Trouble The Avett Brothers - Shame Iron & Wine - Trapeze...
Who is the the most influential person in music...EVER? Now it has to be one person, so if you want to vote for a band you're going to have to narrow it down to who out of that band is the most influential. I'm going to have to say John Lennon. I've only heard a couple of songs from him as it's...
I love Joe Jackson... well, at least I really love 3 of his most popular songs. His best stuff is from the late 70's and early 80's. He had a cool style then. Very elegant & refined looking, I still adore his song Stepping Out - I will play it over & over again on my IPod sometimes. Any...
