Hello everyone I am in the process of looking for a house and building my theater so I am here to truly learn from the veterans in the game! Thank you!

Long time AV enthusiast. 2017 has been my year for leap frogging into 4K -- moving from my beloved 10-YO Pioneer Elite Plasma Monitor to a new Sony A1E OLED, and upgrading to a new OPPO UDP-203 and Denon X4300H AVR. Loving it all. Couldn't be happier with REAL BLACK on my OLED and outstanding...

New member with a bunch of questions

Hi Everyone, I'd been an audio enthusiast for many, many years. Build my own audio amps and speakers. It's been my hobby but it comes and go or I mean, on and off situation because of busy work. I have my 7.1 home theater for five years and I think it needs some upgrading. So, I think I'm...

Hello, I've been living with my listening room's bad acoustics for years and it looks like this forum will be of great help with improving it.:olddude:

Hi, my name is Gary and I live in Irvine, California. I enjoy music and photography (and now since my wife bought some things, Home Theater as well) :D I'm guessing when I post my first inquiry I'll come to realize just how simple my current set up is. Hopefully as time goes by and I read...

Yes, I've become a spoiled weather brat! But after moving around as an Army brat, last place before this Maryland-the land of being soaking wet with sweat 5 steps into the non-air-conditioned world- I do believe I'm allowed whine a little about it being sticky here in California. Now I'd be OK...

If you're nearby, don't miss the California Audio Show in the San Francisco area this weekend. Hugh is there and is partnered with Skogrand cables. Should be a good time!

My name is Alan and I'm a long time audiophile and a Do It Yourselfer. I participate mostly over at the Parts Express Tech Talk forum, loudspeaker building and such. A bunch of us from Northern California will be getting together soon (May 3) in Davis for our annual DIY Get Together.

Greetings to my fellow enthusiasts! I am new to the Shack so I'll be brief. I have been a computer service technician for 30 years until I retired in 2008. I thought I knew something about A/V until I joined the Shack. Long ago I worked for an electro acoustical company in Europe as a quality...

I am an older professional photographer. I was in IT at the University of California at Santa Barbara for 36 years mostly as a programmer doing assembler on an IBM mainframe. I retired a few years ago. I am currently the "House Photographer" for the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez...

I've been visiting this site for quite awhile and it got me started again on my ht. excited to be a part of this great forum and to learn new things. Cheers

Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all. I'm a new guy to entertainment systems, Well kinda, anyway. I do have almost 30 years as an electrician, bringing the power to location for this stuff, and watched a few with knowledge above mine set it all up, but now... I'm happy to find...

Hello! I found this site on this thing called the internet. :nerd: I was looking for more info on home theater gear and managed to find this site. I'm looking forward to getting your advice!

There is a real estate boom in Southern California that is seeing higher number of homes selling faster, and at higher prices, than many other exciting growths in that sector from the past. And if history serves as an indicator of the trend to follow, it means, of course, that new home owners...

Hello fellow Home Theater Shack friends, I joined a few weeks ago, but seemed to miss this thread.:eek: I'm in the middle of installing a new Epson 5010, so far so good. I also dabble in video calibration, going to get my ISF Level 2 certification this July.(I would love to get THX...

I’m a long time music listener now enjoying home theater too. Thanks for hosting this forum of diverse categories. As a computer engineer, I am really interested in the REW software. I think I can offer some insight to the Windows Media Center users here too. Cheers, Aguaazul

It seems strange to be a "newbe" when your almost 70 'cause you do not expect to be young again, or atleast so says my Dr.! The discussions here are probably way over my bald head but here goes ... My wife's health continues to decline. We have a large DVD library. Some DVDs are blu-ray - some...

Hello Home Theater Shack members, It's been at least 6 months since I signed up so it's time I introduced myself. I've owned a lot of new & used audio equipment since the age of seventeen. It all started out as a DIY hobby involving car audio gear back when cassette tapes replaced 8-tracks...
