Next Upgrade?

[pixelthis]

It's so nice of you to think of me so often Pix. I'm flattered. But you're still not my type. Sorry.
It's not you. It's me.
But we can still be friends, right?

Kinda hard to miss you with you always there with your little "critiques"
(which is like a resus monkey trying to teach math to EINSTEIN)

[pixelthis]

lol pix be nice...

and i said i was going to see what it sounded like first, i mean i currently stream music wirelessly over my network from my laptop to my stereo, why couldnt a transmitter/receiver combo with similar wireless protocols do a decent job of transferring sound from receiver to speaker?

i'm not talking some POS line of site infrared garbage, looking at something totally custom

THE STREAM from laptop to stereo is data, you're talking music and audio.
Also I am leery of this whole wireless craze, even tho my keyboard and mouse is same.
Arent you a tad worried about someone hacking your system?
THE ACCUMILATION of microwaves frying your kittykat?
Wireless is okay under certain circumstances, but should be kept to a minimum, IMHO.
THE ONLY REASON FOR WIRELESS rears is being too lazy to run some cable, either under the floor, or on the floor with a rug thrown over em.
And wireless rears vilolate the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid)
AND DONT FORGET, WIRELESS REARS MEAN two cheap amps to drive your rears.
Your opening up pandoras box son, first its speakers, then wireless toasters and refrigerators

Well, if somebody wants to hack into my wireless toaster, so be it.
I LIKE BURNT TOAST.

You think of yourself as a monkey? I don't. You're much smarter than that Pix. Give yourself some credit.

i cant really run wires, i live in an apt and sure, running to the right rear is great, the left is impossible without taping wires to the ceiling, which looks terrible.

and no i'm not worried about someone hacking my network, even if they did what would be the point?

i'm a little worried about the DACs and the small amps for the rears myself, but like i said i'd have to hear it first, if it sucks i wont be buying it.

i'm just getting desperate, since i moved (about 1.5 months ago) i've been sans rear channel sound.

That butterfly "thingy" is called a tramp stamp. Doesnt mean YOUR old lady is a tramp tho, just an expression.

Sometimes I wonder why you even bother. Well Pix, if it makes YOU feel any better, I've been with my wife since age 15. I was their when she got the tat. And if you came to my house you would know that my wife loves butterflies, because the stupid things are everywhere. She's always had a thing for 'em.

[Rich-n-Texas]

So does that mean you've been married to her since age 15?

[GMichael]

HS sweethearts? How cool. You two must know each other very well by now.

[L.J.]

No since age 18 . Her mom wouldn't sign the papers so we had to wait and get married on her 18th birthday.

Different HS but yeah you can say that. We've been through it all together. First jobs, first cars, first little apartment....you get the point. Alot of people thought we were crazy but 10 years later, and 2 kids, were still going strong.

We have a similar story - met my wife at school in Atlanta 1998 - engaged 5 years later, married 2 years after that!

Lemme see here...If my math is any good, you might be younger than me, LJ...You'll have to PM me the truth...

Loser gets to call the other junior!

I think I'm older JR

I'm 3 years older than my wife. I meant to put I've been with her since she was 15.

There are a 1,000,000 wisecracks I could make in this thread, but instead...

What was this thread about?

Ow you can make a wisecrack or two. Do threads ever stay on topic here? Most of us don't even really talk HT too much anymore.

[Feanor]

Anybody got anything on their list? What is it or what are you hoping to improve?

Are you saving up for something...waiting for new BR players to drop?

Perhaps your content with your current setup......LIAR

An HDTV to replace my CRT ...

I'm think in terms of a 42", 1080p plazma. It won't likely be before late Fall.

My current HT:

• Samsung 27" TV, CRT
• Oppo DV-980H universal player
• Panasonic SA-XR25 receiver
• Paradigm MiniMonitor V3 fronts
• DIY Vifa/BGCorp center
• Boston Acoustics A60 rears
• PSB Subsonic 6 subwoofer
• Satilite TV from Bell ExpressVu, (no HD)

Just so everyone's on the same page and this doesn't cause a rift in the delicate fabric of civility 'round this place, L.J.'s wife is emphatically not a tramp and hopefully whomever I next meet will be.

Where the HE!! is he getting all those great Joker pictures???

Is that the Joker or the Crow?

[Rich-n-Texas]

I don't know who the Crow is, but sticks' avatar looks like the Joker from the upcoming Batman movie titled "The Dark Night"

Looks like the adaptation of the comic book character, The Crow, to me. But who knows, given the right scowl, most of that genre of toons look alike.
