Nice Historic Crime Movie
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Public Enemies is the story of how the Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. Good story line from a first rate cast of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale etc. I love historical dramas so I was a sucker for this flick. If that sort of thing appeals, you might also like, Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks.

Another Great "Wall Street" Movie
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been on a run of "Wall Street" movies lately starting with the Big Short, Wolf of Wall Street, and the very recent HBO movie, The Wizard of Lies, about Bernie Madoff staring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" is an oldie but a goodie and has become a classic of this genre. If you too are interested in how the stock market is manipulated when greed raises its ugly head, then this is a movie for you. It is well crafted with Michael Douglas in the lead. Buy it before the next crash!

One of my Favorites

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lucy is one of my all time favorite movies. I think of it as a harbinger of the very near future for mankind. I know that sounds like quite a leap for such an unpretentious movie, but it makes sense to me that as neuroscience continues to advance, it's entirely possible that man will begin to be able to access more of his brain. I don't think that is as far fetched as it sounds. To that end, this movie is very well made with good sound and video. I think of it, if you will, as believable science fiction. See what you think!

Not Sure on this one . . .
on March 1, 2017
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I hate the process of buying anything tech things these days. You know the drill, you buy the product, then you buy the insurance and then some sort of product to protect it all. The Zagg InvisibleShield is such a product. I bought an iPad Pro 12" about a year ago and enjoy it so much that I always want to take it along on trips and of course, that demands some protection for that beautiful screen. The problem with HD version of the InvisibleShield is that it's old tech. Basically a sheet of plastic. Can't imagine much protection from this. So, I returned it for the glass version which actually provides better protection and it looks way better. So, do yourself a favor and skip this version and buy one of the glass versions. BTW Amazon has the best pricing on these so make sure you ask for a BestBuy price match.

Remote me up, Scotty
on January 31, 2017
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wife says too much clutter on the coffee table. Solution? The Harmony 650 universal remote. I chose this model because I do not have a smart home and do not need to control more than 8 devices in my home theater. Moreover, the model 650 is rated as good as, if not better than Logitech's higher priced models. So, what's not to like? it's inexpensive, easy to program and easy to use. Try it, you'll like it.

Toaster Schmoster
on January 16, 2017
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Why is it that in this age of technological greatness premium companies like Cuisinart can't build a great toaster is just beyond me. Case in point, this beautiful piece of performance art just doesn't deliver the stellar performance that one should expect at this price point. I love the look of the unit and the very cool automatic lowering and raising of the bread, but I most often have to toast the bread at least twice, even at the highest (#7) setting, to get anything that could be called toast. A quick peak inside during the toasting cycle shows that only certain parts of the wire grid are even glowing. No wonder the performance is mediocre. I haven't returned the unit yet because I keep hoping that the performance may improve after the "break in" period but, so far, not. It probably will have to be returned. Too bad, it was such a great conversation piece during the holidays with friends and family lining up to watch our "Starship Enterprise" toaster do its thing! Perhaps the next unit might be a keeper!

Quintessential Comedy
on January 7, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Been waiting for this item to price drop and it did. My wife and I are both addicted to the "Sein" and this is the best way to feed our addiction on a regular basis now that network TV reruns of this show are getting less frequent. One drawback, probably due to the age of these shows, is that the actual size of the picture is in the old "square box" size that used to be the norm and not in the newer "wide screen" format. So, some screen size picture adjustment is needed are in order to fill the screen. Hopefully this will change as we work our way through the full 9-year span of DVDs. Aside from that, this is still one of the greatest comedy series ever written.

Good Squirt for the Buck

Verified Purchase:Yes
Really seems to work very nicely on all my Apple toys; better in fact than the usual arsenal of household products that I've tried but never seem to work all that well and are generally not recommended for use on these types of screens. One further suggestion is to use a secondary microfiber cloth to first wipe the screen after applying the cleaner to remove the grunge, then apply another light spritz of cleaner followed by a final polishing with the very high quality microfiber cloth included in the kit.
Voila! A perfectly clean screen.

Don't buy this plan . . .
on September 4, 2016
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
First let me say that AppleCare for the iPhone is an absolute necessity. However, don't buy the monthly plan unless you are totally cash strapped and don't mind paying $8 a month for 2 years (i.e. $192) twice the price. Yikes! Instead, cough up the cash and buy the same 2 year plan for $99. Sometimes convenience is very costly!

Very Good but Very Pricey Case
on September 4, 2016
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Originally bought this case for my new iPhone SE but reconsidered and traded for a Tech 21 case that I like a lot better. However, the Tech 21 necessitated the purchase of a ZAGG screen protector but both items together cost less than the LifeProof case. So, bottom line, buy what YOU really like and think looks good.

Enjoy quality sound reproduction with this AudioQuest Black Lab BLAB02 subwoofer cable that utilizes solid long-grain copper conductors to ensure clear, crisp signal transmission with reduced distortion.
 

What's the difference between an In-Wall Subwoofer cable and a regular cable?

It's my understanding that in-wall cables are designed to 1) meet building code requirements and 2) to have a "slippery" jacket covering to allow installers to more easily pull wire through wall openings.

WHERE CAN THAT GROUNDING WIRE BE ATTACHED? IT LOOKS VERY SHORT.

The ground wires are attached at the grounding screw of your amp or receiver and also at the grounding screw of your subwoofer (if it has one).
