[beardog03]

I came home today after a really crappy day, and an even crappier Christmas Party, and the wife was calling every two minutes...


"when are you coming home ?"

Well when I went into my office there it was..

A 32" sammy LCD HDTV

Could hold it !!

So now I have a brand new Soyny BDP-350 BR player, a brand new Belkin PF60 (in black ), and a New 32"HD Sammy for the office !!


Woooo Hooo !!!!

The friggen cable is $200 bucks though !
What`s up with that ?!

I guess I better get her something soon...
Been workin so much I haven`t had time..

AND, I just picked up a pair of LSi7`s in the FM recenly...!!

What cable?

[beardog03]

What cable?

the one to hook up the blue Ray player HDMI ?

Thanks guy`s !!

Yeah, but she said it was just to keep me out of the living room , so she could have it to herself, and out of the bedroom so she can have her computer space !!!


My office rocks....tubes and all !!!

I guess I am being spoiled a bit, but there is always a price for everything....she`s up to something !!

[hoosier21]

the one to hook up the blue Ray player HDMI ?

how long is it? I thought my 6 footer at 40.00 was high.

Oh wow man, return that thing ASAP. Especially with HDMI (digital) cables as long as you aren't making long runs there is absolutely no need to pay even a fraction that price.

Look at something like this:

or any other HDMI cables they have there and I promise you there will be no difference in image quality on your display.

[beardog03]

not sure...

I went to CC yesterday to find a cable to hook my BR player to my computer monitor, and the kid showed me one for $169, so I said no thanks and left


I really haven`t loked into it much

My x-box 360 should hook up also .....I got that last year or the year before, but I`m not very good at it....no time to play it

[beardog03]

thanks...now thats better !!

[janmike]

Signal Cable makes a good HDMI cable.

[mutelight]

No problem man, save yourself a lot of money, the marketing behind these HDMI cables are brutal and big box stores are always trying to push cable sales.

There are arguments over cable quality with analog cables but with digital, they essentially work or they don't.

[beardog03]

should I get one of the switches (box`s) like the one in the FM ?

[shadowofnight]

Right on.....you gonna wall mount that puppy ? Amazon just delivered my Sammy blu ray player today for the mancave...was tired of having blu in the HT only. Just finished updating the firmware and have the new Hulk playing :D

I have some really nice hdmi cables ...brand new actually....if you want one Robert.

[ben62670]

I'm reading that your wife doesn't want you to come home, and she is willing to spend some coin to keep you in the office:p
Merry Christmas:)

See, I`m not just "reading" something into it, am I ?!!

[dholmes]

What about monoprice cables? I thought alot of members liked them!!

[beardog03]

I`m looking into all options, but so far John has the best advise !!!

[ben62670]

I just ordered an optical cable from them(monoprice), and a couple USB extenders. The reviews are handy.

Cmon over its yours. Doing a lot of subwoofer testing tonight while the wifes at BINGO :)

I just finished my 2 new eD subs tonight and added them just for the hell of it to the other 5 subs in the HT and am driving them with another pair of Carver Silver 7's...if you think your chest can handle the pounding at the moment


Just finished wall mounting my ACI LV Sat's above the plasma too...busy day :)


I ordered these 2" thick 20"x20" Maple isolation platforms from TimberNation ( Different size but look like these ) for the woofers to downfire onto....will be here by Dec 23 the tracking number says

[beardog03]

nice !

Very nice

Looks like our sub project needs to get started.....also looks like ya started without me !!

I think you need to sell me some o them silver 7`s !!

[megasat16]

Digital Coax Cables, Optical Cables and HDMI cables from monoprice is very well made and will beat other stores cables in construction. If you want fancy looking cables, try Monoprice Premium Cables.

Monoprice Analog IC and Patch cables are a different story and I wouldn't want to use these in my system except in the case of hooking up subwoofers from LFE output of your AVR or Pre/Processor. Monoprice speaker cable (zip cords) are also from the so so quality and not highly recommended unless you want to go cheap. :)

[beardog03]

so an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable ...no matter who makes it or where I get it from ?
It`s not like I/c`s is it ?

It`s more like a monitor cable or a patch cable ?

Very Nice! Are these 19Ov2? Did you get them on the Thanksgiving sale? I ordered 2 of mine on the Thanksgiving sales for DIY sealed subs.

There is always a sub project going on in my house :D

I was going to sell my second pair of 7's , but decided to keep them for sub use.

I usually sell the subs on a regular basis and make new ones ...problem is the last 5 of them have been built with the best drivers on the market ( TC Sounds ) and are not avail anymore so they aint going anywhere....the subs are starting to creep around into the family room now so I am sticking with the 5 ....these 2 eD's are for the mancave....I am just testing/breaking them in out here.

Just carries audio/video....the newer ones are rated 1.3 for deep color and higher speed ...lossless audio...and a few other improvements...no magic to it.

[beardog03]

what did you spray onto the sub box ?

looks good !

[shadowofnight]

Very Nice! Are these 19Ov2? Did you get them on the Thanksgiving sale? I ordered 2 of mine on the Thanksgiving sales for DIY sealed subs.

These 2 are the 16Ov2's they had on sale the month or so before ....I ordered the speakers and cabinets and got an awesome deal delivered for all 4.

[shadowofnight]

what did you spray onto the sub box ?

looks good !

Even though I usually build my own cabinets, those are made by eD using their custom enclosure program...had em brace the hell out of them and use 2" mdf on the baffle and 1" mdf everywhere else....the finish is their Odye paint....its awesome in person :)

[beardog03]

looks great !

Could I use those box`s for my Momo`s?

[shadowofnight]

Could I use those box`s for my Momo`s?

Yes, I could call up Chris and have them make you a pair just like them with the cutout designed for your woofer size and have them done in the Odye paint as well....I would have to look at your T/S parameters to see if your driver is able to be downfiring....or you could just use them normally. I am sure I could talk him into free shipping again as well...saving BIG bucks because they weigh a ton.

I believe when I looked at your T/S parameters your woofers would do well in actually a bit smaller box sealed...so the cost would be less as well.
