    Yeah, but how well does it do Surround Sound:)

    Do we really need yet another high res video standard?

    Hocky, yes we need to do that. Unfortunately or rather fortunately Interactive has continued to grow at an alarming rate. We are coming up on adding our 2,000th employee. And to add to the chaos, I was just elected President of the Ferrari Club which with 5500+ members, I now have more...

    Do we really need yet another high res video standard?

    All I am saying Rich is just like Justin did, go and see 4K, in fact go and see both a Sony 1000ES and a 84 inch Bravia. View 2D 4K content and 3D 4K and don't forget the upscale content from 1080P and then tell us you don't need the resolution on your 10 foot screen. I can except that as your...

    Do we really need yet another high res video standard?

    I highly recommend that those that have an interest check out 4K TVs and projectors. Sony now has a 55 inch for $6K, a 65 inch for $7K and an 84 inch for $25k, they also have a 4K projector the 1000ES that is under $20K. Seiki has a 50 inch for $1,299 and LG has an 84 inch for $40K. When you...

    Yes Dave, it's time to raise the issue again

    You know, when I was a kid, there were no mass shootings at schools, none, nada, zero, and it makes me wonder why. It certainly wasn't that people didn't have access to guns, they did, in fact there were no background checks at all back then. It wasn't that there were no mentally defective...

    The mysterous game of golf

    Gordon, I have played golf for many years and it can be addicting. If it is addicting, you have no hope of recovery as golf is the one sport you can play until its fatal:) If you do get in to it a fun thing to do is to create bucket list of courses that you want to play. Michael Phelps has...

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    Bernard, Actually I have. I have some pretty interesting race track stuff. One where I am tracking down a 355 Challenge race car and he makes a mistake and spins right in front of me. Mostly I shoot track videos in 2D even though I have a Hero2 and I really should get the 3D package and shoot...

    Transparent MM2 Power Cable for CLX

    Andrea, Do you know how much these cables cost? Can they be ordered from Transparent in the USA or only in Italy. And BTW, I have 4 CLXs and an affinity for all things Italian, especially prancing horses:) Oh and I do believe in cables and power conditioners and the effect they can have. Thanks

    Post 2D pictures and if they are good enough, someone may buy you a 3D camera:)

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    Justin, Yes, the passive glasses are bigger and yet way lighter than the actives. It is easy to forget that you are wearing them. The only drawback to the Sony is that it uses active glasses, but the 4K projector makes that annoyance disappear with awe.

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    Gordon, Yes, it is so amazing that I shoot almost everything in 3D probably 100% stills now. But video is a bit tricky. Truth be told, with video you have to shoot it with 3D in mind. Meaning you really can't get a 3D effect when taking video shots of far off objects. But if you put something...

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    I think the jury is in on this one. The LG Passives are the way to go for flat screens. But if you get a chance check out the Sony VPL 1000ES on a 120 to 160 inch screen in either full 4K or 2k upscaled to 4k with a Darbee thrown in for good measure. I think it will astound you......unless you...

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    Yes, I got one of the first Darbee Darblets that came out. For the money it can not be beat. I just ordered 2 more for my other HTs.

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    Best 3D is home grown Gordon, I don't worry about content, since every single picture I take and most, maybe 75% of my videos are in 3D. Until you shoot your own stuff in 3D and then go back and experience it not just look at it, it is hard for anyone to understand the true value of 3D. You...

    3D Projector Talk, Anyone here thinking about getting one?

    JonFo, I am on my third 3D projector which is now 3rd gen. Started with the Sony 90ES, not bad for first gen. Then on to the 95ES, 3D is better and 2D is outstanding, then the Sony 1000ES 4K projector, both 2D and 3D are as good as what you see in movie theaters. I think you need to see this...

    Steven Wilson – a living legend

    JonFo, I saw something on this some time ago, but I did not remember if I had pre-ordered it. So I went ahead and ordered it again:) Steve Wilson is awesome. He alone makes CLXs worth the money:) Thanks for reminding me about Storm Corrosion.

    shm sacd

    I have several of these SHM SACDs and I have to say to my ear they do sound like they have better dynamic range and add another level to that airy sound the CLXs tend to show. They are pricey but since they do out perform standard CD they should cost more, how much more.......well there is the rub:)

    CLX Room Placement

    Mirrors on the ceiling......speakers in the walls......you need to get that part right:)

    CLX Room Placement

    Yes, you do have to tighten the top bolt now and then. It is kind of dependent on how often and probably what you play on them. I tighten them up about once every six months, YMMV. I probably tightened them more in the beginning, but now I have several other hobbies that are taking more of my...

    Summit X to CLX - is it worth it?

    Yes, Brad is correct, JonFo and I have discussed splitting a pair of used CLXs but that hasn't happened yet. I have been using a Stage for the center speaker for 2 years and since I have 3 stages spread thru 3 HT surround systems, I did try to stack the 3 stages in the middle based on some...
