| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, I went for the Toshiba D2 from Costco. At $249 and 5 free HD DVDs its hard to pass up. HD and upscaling looks very good, plus the free HD DVDs, I can watch the format wars play out in relative comfort. | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? Very happy with the D2 so far. The only HD DVD I have yet is Batman Begins, it looks great. I have a couple DVDs that never looked very good (Enigma, Angels and Insects, to a lesser degree The Constant Gardener) and the D2 did not perform miracles... | |
| Which CD failed you on bass notes? The lowest note on "Flight of the cosmic Hippo", Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Also on Paula Cole's album "This Fire" there is a song with bass that will blow your speakers up if you are not careful, cant remember the name of the cut, but this is... | |
| 1080P tv or Projector ??? Have you viewed both? How does the projector resolution stack up? If the Yamaha picture compares well in real world viewing, and you have the proper room, go for it. I have seen spectacular projector image and also some not so hot, never seen the ... | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? Decided to get the D2. I have not even hooked it up as I have no HD DVDs yet. But $249 for a player that will play and upscale all my reg DVDs, plus 5 free HD DVDs, I think I can wait out the format wars in comfort. I will post a thumbs up/thumbs ... | |
| Harbeth vs. Tyler Bartokfan hates the way the Harbeths look, hates the British sound and hates poly woofers... but does not mention whether he has actually heard the Harbeths. Please tell me you are not trashing the sound of a speaker you have never heard just to p... | |
| Harbeth vs. Tyler Harbeth uses a different approach to cabinet resonance control. Instead of massive panels that absorb/store energy, they use light panels that dissipate energy quickly, I believe. The only reviews that are hard to find are negative ones. Harbeth h... | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? Thanks for the correction, I realized my mistake. I still have some homework to do. Thanks again to all for the input. | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? The HD-XA2 is going for $299 now... why can't this be easy?! | |
| HBO copy protects it shows. HBO is only a few bucks more and I watch some of the series they produce. The boxing is great too, but if they are trying to save boxing as a popular sport with high$$$ PPV - a big mistake. It is too bad you cant copy the programing, but the Sopra... | |
| best redbook cd player versus good dvd-audio unit The OPPO 970 does sound damn good on the cheap. It will not decode HD or Blu-ray DVD but upscales to 1080i. Maybe not the ultimate answer but retail only $149 and includes a HDMI cable, it may be the ultimate back up player. | |
| Greatest C&W Band For new straight up C&W try The Hacienda Brothers. | |
| Greatest C&W Band The Country Honk version on 'Let it Bleed' was the original way Jagger and Richards wrote the song. A "Hank Williams/Jimmy Rodgers" kind of song. Richards credits Mick Taylor as the one who gave the song that funky sound when they recorded it as t... | |
| bad match?- Totem Model1's and NEW 20.1 You might want to try a different preamp before x-ing out your power amp. My experience with Totem Ones and power amps was not as cut and dry as I expected. Budget integrated about 50wpc sounded lifeless and shut in. With seperates I tried a few a... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Six years since my first response to this question and I feel I must list an addition. Last year at the Tabernacle Atlanta and last night at the House of Blues North Myrtle Beach I saw what has to be the band who puts on the strangest show and the... |
