I keep looking over at my little DVD~Blu-Ray Storage Center.And I see the New Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5.But I keep telling myself, no BSG until its all Blu.

Though when I did watch it originally I didn't have any of the gear I have now.But I dont know if you have the same problem.When I watch TV Shows I couldn't stop.Watching 2 or 3 episodes would end up 5 or 6 episodes every time.

Enjoy my Friend.I am sure they are great TV Shows.

2 & 1/2 Men discs are DVD. It is hard to stop, especially since they are only 24 minutes long. Usually finish one disc and then stop. Except 24 and Lost, stayed up till 3am or until eyes hurt.

Don't have any Frasier One season of Big Bang Theory.

Thought you had all of BSG on Blu-ray. I would like it on Blu-ray someday. Were all the BSG episodes broadcast in HD?

24 is notorious for doing that. Last year I watched all of seasons 4 and 5 over a 3-day weekend. Needless to say, I was hurting after that marathon.

Headed out in a few for work Todd. Hope you are feeling well today.

To be 100% honest I dont know if it was broadcast in HD or not.I never watched a single episode on TV.I Only watched the Season Box Sets.

And I did have Season 4.5(The last 9 episodes or so on Blu-ray.As it was released when the complete set was.)But the difference between the two is a lot.

So in time I will either buy the Whole Set(if it goes on sale)Or a season at a time.

Then I dont know what other TV shows would capture my interest.Maybe Heroes and Star Trek Voyager.

I hope you enjoy watching your shows tonight.At least it continues after an hour or two(unlike most movies).

Hey Todd. Well, tickets Did pop up today as expected, so my friend got them. Lower level, just left of center, opposite the stage. Very good seats, as the arena is only around 9500 seats; there are No bad seats there. Its at the Mohegan Sun Arena casino in Ct.

I don't think they were all broadcast in HD, but the entire collection is in HD.

Ron Moore comes on and talk about how everyshow was recorded in HD.

I don't feel that way about the mini-series, but the rest of the shows are great. I love the way they group all the ships and show how large Pegasus is over Galactica.

This is one to have, especially if you are a sci-fi person.

Sweet Deal Aero ,my Friend.
I hope you are having a Great Monday.

I was able to see Rush in concert in 1994(The Counterparts Tour)At the Dean Smith Center at UNC-Chapel Hill College.Easily one of the Best Shows I have ever seen.Neil Pert is a Half Man & Half Machine on the Drums.

I wanted you to know that I just went to the mailbox,a package from you was in there(along with a Very Nice SPL Meter)To be honest its been so long(and I have only done it once)In mid 2009 via Don's Generosity.That I have truly forgot what it is I am supposed to do.

I will read thru the Instructions you Graciously Included and see what I come up with.So anyone who does know how to use this for getting my system in Perfect Balance,I will be Very Greatful.

And Thank You Sincerely my Friend.Send me a PM about where to send payment for using it(And I believe in about Two Months I will be buying my own).

So,Thank You ,my Good Friend.Have a Wonderful Day and a Tremendous Evening getting to see and hear Rush.

Every Time I Hear "Tom Sawyer" the hair on my arms stand up and I get Goosebumps and Chills.

+ 1000 and Amen,HAMP,my Friend.
This is one show that I Really Fell in Love With.

(By the way,How is Caprica coming along)

Todd, congrats on the acquisition of one of the most valuable tools that every HT enthusist should have...the SPL meter!

I'm not going to reinvent the wheel. Big Daddy has provided an awesome sticky on the subject. If you have any further questions, let me know and I'll help you to the best of my ability.

Well this is what pisses me off about syfy channel. If you remember sometimes there would be a long period between episodes or seasons, well that is going on with Caprica right now. Season ended awhile back and I'm not sure when it will return.... November maybe... Also not sure when Stargate: Universe will return.

This is another reason I love having the entire collection at home, you just have to control yourself and not watch it all back to back.

We should have been finished with Season 2 and watched 'Razor', but with the power out, we didn't get a chance to watch anything over the weekend.

[talstarone]

Well I started off with all intentions of starting the LOTR Trilogy(with Fellowship of the Ring).But I got sidetracked.

I finally unwrapped and opened Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
I owned it on DVD,and it was,easily,the best Looking DVD I had ever seen(Being a 100% CGI Movie)I didn't think that it could look any better.

Boy,was I Wrong.This Disc is Serious Eye Candy.And A Disc to pop in and amaze whoever may not have seen Blu-Ray.Its a Decent Movie(as far as plot).But the Audio and Video are Good Enough to sell systems.

I can Honestly Say it Was Worth the time to watch it today.

So I am on a roll(6 Blu's in 7 days or 10 Blu's in @15 days).
And its been extremely enjoyable.

Sorry to hear you had a Weekend with the Power Out.I know that had to be a rough couple of days.Glad to see you are back online(Which I assume means power has been restored)

And I hope Caprica does return.I have been looking to see when they were planning on Selling Seaon One.
But,you are correct.Thats a big reason why I dont watch TV.If I miss out on an episode(here and there)I get confused on what is happening.

I also like that you put Razor closer to where it seemed to fit into the Time Sequence.As it was a Big Flashback to be inserted at Season Four.

Hey Todd --- Wow, that was Very FAST for the pkg. to get to you, glad it did though. All you really need to do is set it on "C" weighting & set it to "SLOW" for your readings; but I'm sure that's all in the STICKY above that "Progers" provided.

Leaving for the show in about 30-40 minutes, can't wait! Just primed up for it with an hour of their "R30" Bluray (from 2004, Germany show)---Awesome PQ & AMAZING AQ as well.

talk to you all later!!!

[talstarone]

Good Morning Everyone.I hope you all had a Great Monday Evening.

[Travis]

Good Morning Todd,

Up early I see. You ever use the Sennheiser headphones in the early a.m. to listen to music or watch movies? May have to get a pair myself. been up really early. Not sleeping soundly.

Right now I use a pair that came with my Roland V-drums if I get up to early. Had a pair of Philips wireless headphones before, IR, if you turned your head you got static.

I do use the headphonrs quite a bit.Both the Sennheiser and a pair of wired Philips.
I do get static if I move my head at times(but not much at all if I stay still)


Also I think if I read thru the manual,I would understand how to operate them even better.

[Travis]

Got the 2nd baby doctor appointment tonight. Only have a few questions. Will watch some True Blood (HBO Vampire series) later tonight. Just arrived in Taiwan. Some TV shows take forever to be released here.

What are your plans for the day? Any movies or music? Shopping for more EMO gear? Selling old gear?
