[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-09 Summary: Great system I love the system. I’m not the best at hooking up systems like this but I got it done in a reasonable amount of time. It sounds great. I don’t understand the review about “needs more bass”. My wife and I watched “American Gangster” last night and we had to back off on the bass. It was shaking the house. It’s not a powered subwoofer like my last system yet the bass is far superior. More importantly, when we watch a film we can really understand the conversations. There is a lot less “what did he say?” Also, no one …more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-09 Summary: Great Home Theater System! But Beware on Wireless Bought this home theater a few months ago, and this is a great system. When I purchased the system, I wanted the wireless kit for the rear speakers. (So that I didn’t have wires running across the living room floor) I was told that any of the wireless systems would work. WRONG! Found out that the Sony system has “proprietary” plugs at the end of the speaker wires and would only fit in the Sony Wireless kit for Rear Speakers. Sure the other systems would work, but you have to snip the plugs off the end of the speaker …more
Editorial Reviews — Product Description | The concept of home-theater is very enticing. Sony has aligned this sound system to be compatible with their popular Bravia widescreen TV line. Yet, it will still deliver fine performance with most other HDTV sets on the market. As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA Theater Sync to go beyond simple audio and video transmission.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-01 Summary: Love our New Home Theater System We purchased this home theater system to go with our new 50 inch plasma high definition flat screen TV. We were looking for something that would enhance the sound in our new home theater room and make it as much like being in the cinema as possible. This system has proved to be worth every penny we spent on it. We love the sound. There are several different settings to change the sound for different effects or for different types of movie experiences from action films to musicals. It was very easy to set up right out …more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-29 Summary: Good system Overall, I like this product. Sounds good, a breeze to set up, and at the price I got it at, I couldn’t go wrong. Good starter or second system. …more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-27 Summary: Almost excellent… Overall, I’m very happy with this system. The setup is easy, and it sounds great. It does a nice job of upconverting my normal DVDs to my Sony Bravia television. That being said, there are a couple negatives: 1. No HDMI in… so unless you run this through an HDMI switcher, if you only have one HDMI in on your TV, you’re screwed! I have a PS3 and this system, and they don’t play nice together. 2. The speakers are nice, but they all have a custom plug on the end that goes into the theatre system. So unless you get new …more

  • The Titanic
  • The Natilus
  • The Matrix
  • The Terminator
  • The Death Star
  • The Batcave

High end audio and vinyl records are alive and well - super resources and forums

You know,

I have fond fond memories of when I was growing up, my dad would play his phonograph records on high end audio equipment that was utterly astonishing to me. I mean, records were, well, records….and yet he had a setup that reminded me of an air traffic controller site. :)

In today’s digital era, one would think that vinyl records are long since history. But puttering around online shows that’s simply not true! Take

Around in business for 25 years, they have a sterling reputation in many of the high end audio forums that I frequent (take this posting, VPI Customer Service ROCKS! for example).

Speaking of high end audio forums, have you seen:

I have a vivid memory of my father showing me the record for a recording of the 1812 Overture….the grooves were so wide for the cannon shot part, it made an indelible impression on me (how did they get the music into those tiny lines?). Ah, memories…. :)

ThankYouVeryMuch!
