Another threesome - this time with J and Dina. Jaime's Flaming Onkyo update. Paul wants to know if he should be interested in tube amps or not. Do Tom and J have Audiophilenervousa? Tom's theory of esoteric speaker design. J and Dina went to see Wall-E this weekend and had tons of stuff to share. J is old. Getting free tickets at the theater. Tom's got a new series of editorials coming out soon. Something to look forward to or avoid depending on what you think of Tom. DRM in the future - government controlled? Tom will be on vacation next week so it will probably be Clint and Dina. Thanks for listening and don't forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.
Editorial: No Stupid Questions… Part 1: Displays

As a reviewer (much less the host of AV Rant), I am asked on a regular basis for my opinion. Everyone from the checkout guy at the supermarket to random people at parties want me to tell them which is the best display or speakers or HTiB. Audioholics has put together a number of documents to help people help themselves. This will probably not really be one of them. Someone once said that there are no stupid questions. That person was stupid. This installment will deal with questions about displays.
Editorial: Will the 3D@Home Consortium Jump Out At You!

Friday July 11, Journey to the Center of the Earth will join a growing list of 3-D films like Beowulf and Meet the Robinsons. But as the first live-action film to reach out to the third dimension, critics are already calling Journey a fun, family oriented thrill ride. But can 3-D technology’s amusement park ride ever compare to an immersive dining experience you’d want to enjoy over and over again?

Several weeks ago, the sump pump in my basement failed me here in Iowa. As I am sure you have read, the flooding was quite extensive in my state. As the water moves southward many towns in Illinois and Missouri are experiencing the mild to major flooding as well. My situation wasn't as bad as many are experiencing, but it was enough water to require some quick equipment and furniture extraction and some rather unpleasant room reconstruction. But, is it really all bad?

Lately I’ve been editorializing science based stuff I happen upon online while taking a break from the A/V stuff. Despite I am an avid Audioholic, I am also a geeky science guy as well. I suppose they kinda go hand in hand, but nonetheless after reading about the successes of our Voyager spacecrafts it kinda fueled my American pride that when we put our minds to a challenge, we can prevail.

As a result, we have put together a top 10 survival tips to ensure you’re safe and sound when the switch is flipped this August. So polish your tube amps, raise your cables off the floor and get ready for the big event.
Editorial: Games Prove to Music Industry that Content is King

Content is king. Always has been and always will be. Many will argue that games have little or nothing to do with the music industry. Indeed both are about as far apart as you can get in terms of industry and development. However, it's important to point out some things that have been prominent in the news lately and have signaled to me the real problem that faces the music industry - and a possible solution, if the industry will raise up off its laurels and get to work.
Editorial: iPhone 3G, The Mobile Computer That Time Forgot

Another Apple WWDC is in the books! Another Stevenote address and yet another iteration of iPhone that almost makes it as a legit 21st Century Smartphone. There is a lot of talk about the new Apple Smartphone really being a mobile computer. But without basic functions like Flash and copy/cut/paste it's a computer that time forgot.
Editorial: Anything But HDMI Please
by Clint DeBoer — last modified June 10, 2008 06:42
by Clint DeBoer — last modified June 10, 2008 06:42
First of all, don't get us wrong about our views on HDMI. It's a great concept. A single digital cable connecting audio and video from one component to another. It's just that it's been a bit of a roller coaster for custom installers and consumers alike. In fact, a very large percentage of custom installers - you know, the guys doing million dollar plus installs - won't touch HDMI with a 10-foot snake. Why? Because it sucks for a myriad of reasons...

I came to a sudden realization the other day: I'm running out of clothes. For the past few years I've been living off of t-shirts and golf shirts which have either been branded by Audioholics or one of the many manufacturers we interact with from time to time.I've got t-shirts from DVIGear, RBH Sound, SVS, Radiient, Universal Remote and AppleJazz. Heck, I even have one from the best barbecue joints in Central Florida - Happy Jacks BBQ. I have golf shirts from American Power Conversion (APC), Denon, and Audyssey. But it's been over a year since I've gotten anything new.
