The Monkey

Just did a quick google search and it looks like there could be a known HDMI board issue. Might be worth checking out: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1261548/new-onkyo-tx-nr5008-tx-nr3008/8340

I am 50-50, but will need a room if I go. Should know more soon.

I heard several of the Schiit amps at RMAF though I couldn't tell you their names. I liked them a lot, especially for the price and the Schiit guys struck me as pretty straight shooters.

I've got my 27" iMac up and running (but still need to move over data, etc.). Really beautiful machine. It's amazing how quickly I've become accustomed to the large screen. Everything else looks tiny in comparison. I'm very happy with it.

Just fyi, gang, there's a new subforum (under "Gear") dedicated to Home Theater stuff here.

Thanks Larry, very helpful info.

Oh, and Smyth Realiser is definitely on the radar, but not right now...

So I just got my home theater setup and I 'm still trying to figure out how the fuck to use it. One thing I'd like to do is be able to use wireless bluetooth headphones for when the Little Monkey is sleeping. But, to my knowledge, my AVR does not have a BT transmitter built in. What's the best way for me to accomplish this goal?

Is this still working?

Happy birthday, Mike!

I'll take a look.

Word. I almost got the rMBP, but was convinced I would break it.

My dad in his unbelievable generosity, paid for a new 27" iMac because my 7 year old iMac is just not cutting it anymore. Should arrive on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to the big screen.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

Done. Good luck! When choosing Paypal, the "Next" button is hard to see because it's red. It is on the bottom right side of the page.

I am astounded by Apple's syncing that continues to have the problem of duplicating entries in Calendar. Either I'm a moron (quite possible) or Apple still doesn't get it. I think both of those possibilities are true, actually. Related to the above, Apple also needs to include a checkbox in any new appointment that will allow you the option to override or delete any conflicting appointment. I'd call it "DOMINATE."

Agree. Also probably an easier way to do this legally. Despite recent developments, if they don't offer some sort of premium service to justify their agreements on price, then arguably they're going to have antitrust problems.

oooh...those look nice.

I "need" a pair of active speakers for my new desk and those Emotivas are tempting me.

I'm a maybe.

I've had problems with this, too. I maintain that Apple still doesn't understand the internet.

Making me rethink gray.

Yeah, that's the way I'm leaning. I love the screen real estate. I am very tempted by the 15" rMBP but it's just not portable enough for me. And I think the 13" MBPr is expensive for what it is. So I think an MBA is in my not so near future.
