Don't Feel Guilty Spending $$$
How bout you stop working that much? Your life is your own and you only get one...so if you're willing to hire me for a job that would pay well and work a solid 40 a week and have a chance at a good career path than I'm all ears. If not then I wil... 
Don't Feel Guilty Spending $$$
The only reason why I feel terrible sometimes about spending money on hi fi is when I never get the time to even enjoy it anymore.Working 70-80 hours a week leaves very little time to enjoy anything really. Sometimes I feel bad because I bought so... 
Older Pre/pro that offer room correction via 5.1?
From what I found newer AVR's or pre/pros do not offer any type of eq or room correction (I'm mostly looking for eq that would be better than my player) when using analog ins on the unit. The issue I'm finding is just with cross over points etc an... 
Has LED caught up to Plasma?
IMO no. Plasma still offers a better color spectrum compared to LED. LED has one thing, brightness and most people have no clue their TV's are running far to bright and are clipping white etc.IMO nothing can beat a good Plasma that has been prof c... 
Emotiva Amps and Processor for Home Theater?
IMO stay far away from the UMC-1. The thing was bug ridden and there are issues with the auto set up etc. Just read the thread on the AVS forum to see.I've owned their amps, XPA-1's etc. Didn't care for them in 2 channel as found them to be too br... 
Inexpensive All-In-One Solutions
When I said sad I meant more in the terms of the product will not last as long and can be considered more of a consumable than a good core product.HTIB tend to fail and be outdated quicker than even an AVR and people will be back every few years t... 
Inexpensive All-In-One Solutions
Levy03 I have to agree. A lot of people are not concerned about the audio, just the way it looks.Honestly take them to BB and have them get an HTIB. Normally people don't want to even spend the money to get a good AVR and speaker set which would a... 
Best new 70" to 80" display
I personally would go for a 65" plasma instead such as a Panny VT35 ect. The Elites are ok but there was a test showing that they did have color issues. Biggest thing still is getting a calibration done on the TV to get the best picture out of it.... 
What are good preamp upgrades from Adcom GFP-565?
agree with Srwooten. The Adcom GFP 750 is a totally different animal than the other adcom pres. I would recommend picking one up. Nice thing about the 750 is the passive mode. If you like Adcom try it out. They go pretty quick here on the gon and ... 
B&W in best buy
The Mag stores carry the higher end B&W. Some of the larger Best Buy stores do carry the entry level gear so it depends on what you have around you.I was suprised when I went to the Mag AV store in Chicago. I was speaking with a girl who acuta... 
All Amps Sound the Same....
Isn't the ability to evoke an emotional response what distinguishes art from craftmenship? and its different in every person. To someone maybe death metal brings back memories of a better time and brings one to tears while others think its noise. ... 
All Amps Sound the Same....
IMO comparing an amp to a mutlichannel AVR is not anywhere in the same area. The statements the OP posted to me come from someone not very fimilar with the hobby like we are.For instance it would be a tough day for an AVR to drive certain speakers... 
Projector question
I don't understand the comment to go with a 70" at 4k. A projector and screen can be had easily for less than 4k. I got a jvc hd250 and a screen for less than 3k and there are far more choices out there. IMO if you don't think it can be done for l... 
seeking 55 inch LED TV matte Screen, 2011 model
IMO if your getting that much glare on a screen and you're trying to do serious viewing you need to invest in some window coverings ect such as black out shades. A great TV in bright lighting never really looks correct and if your doing 3D the bri... 
PreAmp for anthem P2 -paradigm S8
Ive heard the s8 v3 run off musical fidelity and highly enjoyed the system. It was the newest line of entry level amp and pre by mf and sounded great to my ears. Tons of bass that was detailed and easily filled the room with a good sound stage. I ...
