Re: Would 120Hz/240Hz processing cause this type of pictur f I believe it's called the "soap opera" effect - there's a lot of information on it but basically do what Flint said in the first thread and that should take care of it.

Good stuff guys and thanks, T7 for the compliment on the room. I don't think I can go wrong owning 2 great subs! So it looks like the cylinder will be moving up to the family room and a new HSU might be on its way soon.

Watched "The Town" via DirectTV on demand. I think I went in with high expectations because I thought it was just okay. Some good action but the story lines were kind of weak (specifically the "romance" part of it).

I have the wife's approval, believe it or not, to move the SVS cylinder to the family room and then buy something for the basement. Do you think moving from the PC Ultra to the VTF15H is an upgrade?

Hi all, I have a family room that is probably 18X22(?) with a 2 story ceiling with wood floors. In that room, which is mostly used for sports, some movies, and kids shows, I had a Velodyne CT--80 that after 12 years bit the dust. It was highly ineffective in that room anyway but came with me...

Uh, wow. The flex was nice but the towel part was awesome. The bad part was that it just had, you know, too much towel. I remember a music award show where she had a duet with Sheryl Crow where they sang the Difficult Kind I think - it was excellent.

I gave it a chance because it was after Tosh. Have to say it wasn't funny.

Yeah, wow - that really sucks. I have always liked Klipsch speakers (my first real speaker purchase). Gotta wonder where this is going to take the company's products but hopefully Audiovox let's them mostly still be Klipsch

Wow! It looks like she lost a ton of weight. I prefer the rounder Summer Glau. Geez, hasn't Christina Hendricks taught those girls in Hollywood anything?

Gonna watch it this evening via Direct TV on demand - very curious from all the reviews I've read.

I will give you a hint - "divide by zero" :obscene-drinkingcheers: Good info, thanks. I may just use a cheap mini toslink adaptor from the Mac (Audioquest makes one for $2) to optical input on the pre/pro. Yeah, $450 seems a lot to spend on a converter (even though it's supposed to do...

Okay one more question - what does this do and is this more "snake oil"? I think I know the answer. http://www.halidedesign.com/bridge/ http://www.stereophile.com/content/halide-design-spdif-bridge-usb-spdif-converter

Just some of my favorites, not sure how high the rate on audio quality but I find myself comparing equipment listening to these:

I've heard rave reviews on these but have not heard them personally. How does the sound compare vs. IEMs, specifically the Shure SE530s?

I knew there was a reason I posted this question here - thanks to both of you. I'll send a commission check soon... I also had a brief discussion with a guy over at a computer audiophile forum, as I thought they might be a good resource, but that's a different experience over there. They have...

Sooooo, what you're telling me is that I can spend less... Always a good idea! I kind of like the idea of having our old Macbook laptop in the system - easier to see menus and playlists from the listening position, can control iTunes from iPhone or iPad, and would have a direct connection to...

Hi out there, Anyone have personal experience with this version or any other of the DAC1 units? Thinking about adding one to hook up to a laptop to listen to lossless audio through my main system. Plus, it can serve as a dedicated 2 channel preamp as well. It seems like an interesting unit...

This reminds me of my treatments. I thought this stuff was hard until I read a series of posts you wrote over at S&V awhile back. Literally, just have someone move a mirror against the wall and when you can see the speaker, hang an acoustic panel. Repeat for other speaker. Done. It was a...

+1 for Dynaudio. I have a pair of Contour S3.4s for my main speakers and a set of Audience 52SEs for surrounds. If you don't mind looking at used, I think you can get some great values. There was a pair of S3.4s on audiogon.com going for $2300, which is over your budget, I know. The 52SEs...

Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Got the set on Wednesday and I can hear a little buzz coming from the center of the set. It is audible when the sound is off or pretty low from about 8 feet away. Of course, now that I know to listen for it I can hear it. My wife didn't think it was a big deal but it bugs me...
