Tals, you and your nephew are in for an audio and visual treat. Especially those IMAX scenes.... O M G!

I am good. I finished rearranging my room and all the equipment two days ago. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Jeez those IMAX scenes, even on my 32" LCD 720p looked amazing!

Goodmorning to you Mike hope that the power center does not cause you any more troubles. I so hate counting the days waiting for the Boss' budget approval. Sometimes i feel people here never sleeps

As for the Stargate 15th anniversary, I did pick it up but it was a very frustrating trip. First let me explain that i had preordered that and the Star Trek gift set on BB.com to take advantage of their 30% off blu deal they had going on. It only counted on pre orders and regularly priced blus, not new releases. So i go to the counter and they tell me that its not available yet. I said well it came out today, You should have it out on the floor already. She said hold on and talked to someone on the phone. She then said that they would have to pull it out from inventory. I was like well I can go get it from the shelf if thatll make it easier. She said, no it had to be the one they had on the order. So i waited for ten mins. Then she said that only one item on the order was ready. Thats when I said that well thats because one of the items doesnt release until november. I have one item ready now. Then she said oh I see. I was furious! She then said that they couldnt find it and that i could go look for it if i wanted to. I went right out there and found it. Walked back to the counter and they said oh look he found it. I got my reciept and left. That by far was the worst In Store Pick Up I had ever experienced there.

Sorry you had to deal with a Bunch of B$ at Best Buy like you had to go thru.

I haven't ever had a problem like that with my Best Buy.Except on the Day the Movie is Released.
You better buy it online and do In-Store Pick-Up.Because no matter what the Weekly Sales Ad shows,They Price their New Blu-Rays about $4.00 to $5.00 Higher for the in-store price.

So they dont get too much of my Business anymore.
Because the First Copy of "Watchmen" I got was bought online for In-Store Pick Up.

Well there was a scratch on the disc and it would jump to all different spots in the Movie.So i took it back to their store to exchange it.All of this was on the Same Day.The Tuesday Release Date.

And they tell me even though I picked it up at the store I couldn't exchange it.I ordered it online for In-Store Pick Up,so they have to take it back and put the money back on my Credit Card(which takes about 4 days for it to show back up on my card)

So I had to buy another copy from the Store.Then they tried to charge me the In-Store Price which is $5.00 higher then I Paid.So they weren't going to give it to me for the lower price.

So I made them get a manager out there and told him he would match the price or I will just go home and re-order it for In Store Pick-Up and be back later that day.

But before I did all of that I would call Best Buy Customer Service and tell them what they were trying to do at this store.So he gave it to me at the lower price.

But I have bought 2 Blu-Rays from them since.And Both were On Sale Blu-Rays for $9.99.
And I have given Amazon ALLof my Blu-Ray Business.

I do both now. I am even considering going amazon prime for the free two day shipping.

But Best buy always price match their own website. Thats complete bull that they tried to charge you the in store price.

Funds for the speakers I linked on this thread https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=119983. Actually i live on the other side of the globe so its like 12hours or more diffrence between us. Oh and i could get the Xindak integrated amp John showed in his site cheaper due to logistics. And with regards to sleep i usually only get 2-3 hours between business and work that my work manager gave me 3 days off to rest.

Very Nice Speakers,Indeed.
I used to Love the Lineaum Brand of Speakers that also used a Ribbon Tweeter.

Gave excellent upper end performance.Kind of Light and Airy but with detail and some substance and strength behind them.
They reminded me of a stronger version of an Electrostatics High End Performance.

Page 84 of my thread gives an update on the nurse situation. Not really drama with the one...although outside sources might make it that way.

Well its true. We all look forward to your updates on the naughty nurse. lol

[talstarone]

Well Mike,my Friend.Were you able to stop in and get some of the angled rubber door stops to use under your Center Channel.What about the wood for the back of your stand do you can work on your cable management?

And lastly,they may be planning on doing a recall on the Stargate 15th Anniversary Disc.

It seems that when the aliens speak in ancient Egyptian it doesn't show any subtitles so you know what they are saying in English.

The ONLY Way to get those subtitles for the foreign language is to Turn On the Subtitles before you start the Movie.Then you have to deal with them thru out the entire Movie.

Needless to say there is a thread about it on the Forum.
A lot of People are not too Happy.

Yeah i noticed that about the movie. It has happened on DVDs with other movies as well. As long as i get a free copy Ill be happy.

As for the rubber stoppers, I did buy some. It really didnt angle the center as much as i wanted it too. On top of that, it seems that they are not all the same size as one side is holding it up and the other dosent even touch the center. I just put one in the center of the center as far as i could. Ill post some pictures when i get home.
