    So I was trying out headphones at a local store yesterday, tried out the Sennheiser HD 558s, and I absolutely loved them. Didn't at all like the 518, or the Momentums either. Problem is, I want them for at work, and they're an open air design so unfortunately that's not going to work out...

  9. HDTV | Video Displays | Processors
    I was so close to buying a Panasonic ST30 or GT30 but was put off first by the fluctuating gamma problem (which I understand has now been fixed with a firmware update) but more importantly, because it doesn't support RGB 4:4:4 for really sharp output from my PC. As my PC and TV will be used not...

    If there is one thing I'm installing a lot of in my theater build....it's speaker wire. Binding post wall plates and banana plugs are going to be quite expensive. Banana plugs alone are about 1.5$ a piece which will be at least 65$ in banana plugs alone for my theater. Binding posts wall...
