I just listened to "The Wall" for the first time in a long time. It sounded like crap. Muddy and thick.

Great unsung percussionist. :(

Right. But the expanded version, the whole show, is one of the best hard rock/punk rock LPs ever. I mean, you just don't even need "punk rock" if you have the complete "Live @ Leeds." Could it be the...
You'd think I'd'a learned by now.

I'm exhausted.
MC
Yes! "Fillmore East"! I spaced.
I love that these live albums are sometimes all you need from that artist, catching the artist at an absolute zenith. You can basically toss all your Allman Bros...
Film-like-ness. Not, you know, digitally perfect. Like... film.
And this is what I like about DVD. It renders film the most film-like. I want "imperfection." I want black blacks. I want grain. I...
We might be too late, man. I think the patient's DOA.
But I never say never, ok?

Wow, this is awesome. One of my favorite live LPs ever. I have the two-CD remaster, with all the extra tracks from the shows? It's superb. Funny how the band was coming apart (at the time), hated...
I'm found out!
I'm not ignoring you, truly. Just, who can keep up?
Not if the PQ of my SD-DVDs viewed on my super Sony KDS-60A3000 SXRD (eh-hem, you just can't get a better movie-viewing...
Tough room indeed.
Fact is, everyone's got an opinion, eh?
The most important thing to me is PQ. Most important. My Sony TV has one of the best rated upscalers inside it already. I ended up...
My name is Micah, and I have failed at BluRay. This is my story.
Since 1995, when I was an "early adopter," I have had four DVD players. The first was one of the original Panasonic DVD players,...
Without a receiver with HDMI-in capabilities, there'd be no way to run component video out to the TV (for unprocessed video) and HDMI (for audio only) to the receiver for audio processing, correct?...
I'm touched.
No, I mean I am touched. In the head.
Listen, I'm trying, ok? I'm way behind the curve here. I'm six years behind the technology. I'm not an "early adopter" no more. I just had a...
Perfectly happy sitting in the dark watching a perfectly calibrated Pio SD-DVD player from the stone age that has an optical audio out.
Is Optical a "bad" technology? I can't believe that a coax...
I won't go into my whole bluray vs SD-DVD thing here. But I've just noticed that there's not one SD-DVD player on the shelves that has the OPTICAL AUDIO OUT jack no more. (Even non-HDMI players don't...
I'd like to dedicate this thread to Ly Foung Vang at the HHGregg on South Blvd in Charlotte, NC. He may be the best, most patient, most tolerant sales guy I've ever worked with. And that's not even...
Har. How much you want for it? Couple bucks? I'll buy it off ya.
So, I'm going to post some here to update y'all on my digital progress.
Frankly, I'm underwhelmed with the performance of the...
Here's what I did:
I went to HHGregg to talk to my main man Ly Foung Vang (South Blvd, Charlotte). Ly is the guy who went the distance to help me get the very last Sony RPTV. I brought this...
Here's what I know now:
The TV is a Vizio VX42L-HDTV10A. It lists "resolution" as 1366 x768 pixels and HDTV "display compatibility" as 720P. (But it says "signal compatibility" is from 480i thru...
Older Dell laptop computer & older Vizio 42" LCD seek communion.
Connected by RGB pin-connector, with the computer's resolution set around the 1380x780 (or something close to that) mark, one down...
From the NYT:
People eat geese, right? Like chicken, right? So, why not cook these geese up and feed the homeless? Am I the only person to think of this? Is there some flaw in my thinking?...
I am going to find out how to register them, or at least find out if they are already registered to the relative I got them from, hypothetically.
It's weird thinking I'd go to someone and say, "I...
I have a taboo. Got it at the Museum in Baltimore. Yep.
Anyway, these guns I might hypothetically have are not lost or stolen, I just don't know how to find out about updating probable existing...
Found some 981s on amazon, but they are upwards of $400. Way out of my price range for this. Back to square one?
